52 RATS (#10 OF 52): REV THIS SUCKER UP

[defrog]

This week’s rat: Rat Fink, by the legendary Ed “Big Daddy” Roth!



You could get these in the bubblegum card/sticker format when I was a kid. I was into drag racing at the time (thanks in part to living within driving distance of Beech Bend Park, as well as the famous Don “the Snake” Prudhomme/Tom “the Mongoose” McEwen rivalry). I plastered my lunch box with stickers like these.

I also wanted a motorcycle like this.



Naturally, my mom disapproved.

FUN FACT: The Rat Fink character was inspired by Roth’s hatred of Mickey Mouse. Which may be another reason I liked him at the time.

Start yr engines,

This is dF
