Product Description

Miles Kington - The Independent 20th November 2001

"The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers is probably the finest strip that came out of the hippie sixties and seventies. The drawings are wonderful, tough and accurate yet flowery and psychedelic at the same time and Shelton's threesome are very funny." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Alan Moore, 2001

"Gilbert Shelton is as near as comics have come to producing a natural comedic genius of the same stature as a Chaplin or a Tati. He is truly one of the greatest and most sublimely funny talents that the comic medium has to offer - Timeless brilliance." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastical hilarious druggy hippies, great art and stories, 11 Feb 2003
By A. J. Kirke "alexis kirke" (Plymouth, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Complete Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers: Volume 1 (Paperback)
I've lost count of the number of times I've read the Freak Brothers cartoons. They were a favourite of mine when I was a hippy student. But reading them again now as a 33 year old "straight" non-drug-using IT Manager, I still find them great fun and very engrossing.

The Freak Brothers are 3 hippies who spend their lives doing drugs and getting into ridiculous adventures. For example: moving to the country on cocaine earnings, starting a gold rush, and ending up running the town; going to Mexico, getting locked up on false charges and meeting a great Mexican mystic; going into the movie business; trying to sell on radioactive material; etc... etc...

Each story lasts from one page to a whole comic length. The plots are wonderful, and full of little twists and turns. The 3 characters are distinct and hilarious, the "straight man" Freewheelin' Frank, the "stupid one" Fat Freddy, and the "geek" Phineas.

The cartoons are, of course, fantasy. Any real human beings doing the amount and variety of drugs that the Freak Brothers do, or living their lifestyle, would have been dead or totally insane within a decade of starting! (And certainly addicted with a few years...)

Although these are chaotic hippy comix in one sense, they are very ordered in another sense. They use standard but detailed cartoony art which is lovely to look at, easy to follow "non-surreal" plots - the skills of the writer and artist are great. It is these skills that really make the comics timeless, not their super-hippy nature. The drugs and "drop out" elements really serve as a fantasy-enabler, helping the Freak Brothers to do and get into the most amazing situations.

These are highly recommended for chaotic comedy comic reading. BUT, if you are a student, don't let these stories sway you into believing you can do loads of drugs with impunity!
