R. Crumb: Fritz the Cat (Foiled Journal)

R. Crumb: Fritz the Cat (Foiled Journal) Synopsis

Part of a series of exciting and luxurious Flame Tree Notebooks. Combining high-quality production with magnificent fine art, the covers are printed on foil in five colours, embossed, then foil stamped. And they're powerfully practical: a pocket at the back for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks and a solid magnetic side flap. These are perfect for personal use and make a dazzling gift. This example features R. Crumb: Fritz the Cat. One of the leading figures of the underground comix movement, R. Crumb’s work is as distinctive as it is polarizing. The eccentric social satirist first rose to prominence in the 1960s counterculture scene, going on to be one of the most prolific and influential cartoonists of the 20th century. Fritz the Cat is one of Crumb’s most iconic comic strips, appearing in Help!, Cavalier, and numerous underground publications between 1965 and 1972.
