This all-Robert Crumb book is famous among underground comic fans for the story about Fritz the Cat getting murdered with an ice pick. Crumb had created Fritz as a young boy and the character became wildly popular after Fritz the Cat was published in 1968, but he was keenly disappointed by Ralph Bakshi’s X-rated film Fritz the Cat in 1972, and quickly killed the character to prevent any additional films (it didn’t work).
Another R. Crumb masterpiece.
