If Walt Disney is the man behind the mouse, then Ed "Big Daddy" Roth is the man behind the rat. Born in Beverly Hills on March 4th, 1932, Ed grew up in a German-speaking household with Gordon, his younger brother. They both grew up speaking German, but in school he learned English and how to draw. No surprise, but his favorite subjects to draw were airplanes, monsters and hot rods. One of his greatest influences was his father's strict child rearing; he built the boys a shop and gave them tools to keep them out of trouble.
