A lot of guys my age were influenced to get involved in cars and/or cartooning by the work of the late Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. I wasn't one of them but there was a time back in school when I was asked by about half the campus to draw Roth's signature character, Rat Fink, on their book covers. Now that I think of it, I'm surprised no one has really merchandised the heck out of that weird-looking rodent. Anyway, it's been ten years since "Big Daddy" left us and his son has some nice remembrances.
