Following the publication of the compilations "Head Comix" and "R. Crumb's Fritz the Cat", Crumb received increased attention and "Fritz the Cat" became one of the most familiar features on the underground comix scene and Crumb's most famous creation. The strip's association with the 1960s counterculture is so strong that for example the 1975 song "Motorcycle Mama", being a nostalgic remembrance of the 1960s, by Swedish singer-songwriter Harpo mentions Fritz the Cat among other cultural icons of the decade such as "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", Jimi Hendrix, Ravi Shankar, "Easy Rider", Woodstock, Bob Dylan, and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and according to Dez Skinn, author of "Comix: The Underground Revolution", the strip served as an inspiration for "Omaha the Cat Dancer".
