Morning Cartoon: MARVIN DIGS, Ralph Bakshi's 1967 short for Paramount

Bakshi has essentially disowned this short, claiming studio interference, but it's still pretty inventive in comparison to the rather sad attempts that Warner Bros. was churning out at the time.  A trippy tale of an excessively hairy young man whose hippie-like tendencies cause conflict with his old-fashioned parents, MARVIN DIGS is miles away from FRITZ THE CAT, but it's still worth a look even if it feels like an awkward blend of mainstream sensibility and Bakshi's wild aesthetic.  You can read more about it here.
