ok now its time for you to all show your age. who here remembers rat fink and buddies. come on be honest. ill admit that im too young to know him if i wasn't taught about him as i was growing up by my old man. i found the official website if any ones interested.

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.

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...
