Who is Ed Roth?
Ed "Big Daddy" Roth (1932–2001) was an artist and cartoonist who created the Hot-Rod icon Rat Fink and other extreme characters. As a custom car builder, Roth was a key figure in Southern California's "Kustom Kulture"/Hot-rod movement of the 1960s.
What is Rat Fink?
Rat Fink is one of the several hot-rod characters created by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. Roth's hatred for Mickey Mouse led him to draw the original Rat Fink. After he placed Rat Fink on an airbrushed monster shirt, the character soon came to symbolize the entire hot-rod/Kustom Kulture scene of the 1950s and 1960s.
