Fritz the Cat is an animated character from the cultural watershed period of the mid 1960's. Fitting for the time period, Fritz dabbles in "Free Love" and drugs. Given the animated medium of the series and the adult content the series, the work was controversial in its day.
Fritz the Cat among other Robert Crumb creations are being honored by Vans. In addition to the Vans Sk8 Hi "Mr. Natural", the Vans Slip On "Fritz the Cat" has also released. The kicks feature that funky 1970's style of artwork seen on Fritz the Cat. The heel reads "R. Crumb" and "Fritz the Cat". You can find the sneakers in Paris at Colette for 70 euros.
