"Fritz the Cat," 1970s Woke Dialogue and R. Crumb
The 1972 adult animated film "Fritz the Cat" is analyzed for its surprisingly modern "woke" dialogue. A scene is played where college students use contemporary-sounding social justice terminology to impress a black character. The hosts note that the film, based on R. Crumb's comics, was self-aware and intended for adults, unlike modern "edgy" animation.
