Ratfink isn't a cartoon character as such.
He is a creation of Ed Roth, who is known as the Grandfather of the hotrod, before it was old enough to be Ol' skool, and the epitome of So Cal style.
I remember watching it...but I think it was with my kids!!!!! :jesus
....and I remember that song 😀
This is reminding me so much of another story along similar lines .....that I'm not going to share here!!!! :o:P😀
...How long has he been around?...I'm sure there was an early version in my time......:sandrine

barls ·

True...
We have a shop here in Melbourne called Minataur...it was heaps of cult type stuff...comics...books...DVD's...collectables.....They'd have Rat Fink for sure...
I was in there the other day in my lunch break to pick something up, and there were heaps of cartoon geeks (well they had a certain look) standing around watching TV in their break....Amazing what goes on....probably happens every day...

Back to a time when car customisation was a true art form. All these cars were one of,s. Not just bolt on aftermarket gear.
When Ed Roth & George Barris were demigods.
Rat Fink led to an army of other creatures with huge heads driving outlandish cars. Used to get the sickers out of bubble gum packets.
Christ I'm getting old...........😎
barls ·
those were the days id give my arm to be there ( mind you it was before my time but ive heard stories from my old man)
CoopGirl ·
I am from the He-Man, Sheera and Skeletor erra, but I know Rat Fink from the HUGE pile of hotrod mags at our house.
BTW, He-Man has been re-mastered and is on tellie on Saturday mornings!!
