The Return of the X-rated Cat!!
From the back cover:
That infamous cat and his twisted life are back! Staying within the tradition set by the audacious and racy Fritz the Cat, director/co-writer Robert Taylor takes Robert Crumb’s way-cool feline character from the boundary-pushing 60s to the harsh realities of Vietnam, racial riots and Watergate of the 1970s in a sequel ripe with pure silliness and a hip story-telling style!
Fritz has got the post-college blues... he’s married to a mouthy wife who berates him constantly, and he’s out of work and on unemployment! To escape his sad, nagging reality, Fritz launches himself into a psychedelic haze with a mind-blowing cat-nip that takes him to his eight other lives. There, he lives out fantasies as an out-of-this-world astronaut, an aide to President Kissinger and worse.. an orderly to Hitler! But as his star-crossed hallucinations put him on a collision course with reality, Fritz becomes a casualty just waiting to happen! The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat was the first animated feature in Cannes history to compete as part of the official competition.
Factory-sealed, new as published.
