The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers

(Rip Off, 1971-1988)
©1980 Gilbert Shelton
Black and white series.

Gilbert Shelton created the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers as an underground newspaper strip in the late sixties. The stars were brothers Fat Freddy, Phineas, and Freewheelin’ Frank Freak. These lovable druggies were always broke and they seemingly spent nearly all their waking time looking for drugs. “After all,” they held, “dope will get you through times with no money better than money will get you through times with no dope!”

Even read out of context from the San Francisco drug culture they reflected, the Furry Freak Brothers were truly funny. The strips were eventually collected in a series of regular comic books and became one of the most widely read underground comics ever published. They, along with titles like Fat Freddy’s Cat, became the mainstay of longtime underground publisher Rip Off Press.
