Bakshi : Heavy Traffic
 Home/Change Series
Heavy Traffic is about a protagonist Michael Corleone, a 24-year-old virgin playing pinball in New York City. Michael's Italian father, Angelo "Angie" Corleone, is a struggling mafioso who frequently cheats on Michael's Jewish mother, Ida. The couple constantly bicker and try to kill each other. Michael ambles through a catalog of freaks, greasers, and dopers. Unemployed, he dabbles with cartoons, artistically feeding off the grubbiness of his environment. He goes to see Ma’s brother Jerry who promised he’d get Michael a job. He regularly hangs out at a local bar where he gets free drinks from the female black bartender, Carole, in exchange for sketches of the somewhat annoying Shorty, Carole's violent, legless bouncer devotee. One of the regular customers at the bar named Snowflake, a nymphomaniac transvestite, gets beaten up by a tough drunk Bongo, who has only just realized that Snowflake is a man in drag. Angie gets a local prostitute, Rosa, to pop his sons cherry.
