Synopsis: 01/78 Fat Freddy's Cat is relating the story of how he was almost a famous movie star if not for his story being supressed for political reasons. Fat Freddy Freekowski is watching tv and sees a story where all the parts are played by birds which gives him an idea. He thinks he could easily write a better story than that and proceeds to borrow Freewheelin' Franklin's typewriter and then writes a store, "Disco Kitty Meets Meowbeasts of Mars" He finishes it and rushes to Hollywood with his cat. He first goes to Megalith studios where he is turned away despite pleas and begging. He tried to relate his story to them about dogfights with real dogs in space and cameos by Lassie and Flipper and of course the star is his "dancing" cat. They kick him out. He sees his dreams of an Oscar run away with a vision of an Oscar leaping from the base it was mounted to that he holds in his hands as it exclaims "you'll never catch me!" Next he tries to get on as a contestant at a quiz show but is turned away as he's not a member of the local quiz show union. Finally, he opts for an amateur talent show at the Clang Home Show (probably a reference to the Gong Show) where he enters with his ""dancing cat"" When it's his turn on stage, he puts his cat down and tells him to dance, calling his cat, "Digleford" The cat refuses to dance and in a thought cloud over Fat Freddy's Cat's head he is disgusted by that name and wants a better stage name. Fat Freddy gets mad and starts cussing and stomping all around the cat as he knows he's seen him dance a million times. They kick them out as they think it is the punkest act they've ever seen. Fat Freddy sees that his car has been towed and starts crying as he has no money and no car. The cat tries to comfort him which cheers him up. He enters his cat into a cat show with $1000 prize for a blue cat. Fat Freddy's Cat then tells his nephews that long story short, the fat fool tried to die him blue out in the brush but his campfire got out of control and ignited the art deco building like the hindenburg sending various cats on fire running that spread the fire. The cat lovers had to supress the story due to footage leaking of him spreading the fire to the local dog shelter. The rest of the issue consists of various on pagers about his wandering around the house, yard and neighborhood interacting with mice, roaches, his nephews, Fat Freddy and birds.
