Raise the freek flag high ! May 6, 2000
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
to add to the two reviews, these comics have a fabulous wealth of detail in every little picture, right down to the bottom of the page where fat freddy scat is usually upto some adventure of his own. Inspired artwork - the facial expressions are extremely funny, as is the evocation of sense of place ( as in their trip in Mayheeko ). The storylines are superb, and a hilariously riotous scathing look at humanity with all its hypocrisy and corruption. Its way, way more than just sex and drugs and late 60s counterculture ! So far I have seen people either LOVE them or HATE them. There is no middle ground. the latter group of people are usually the ones who have never interacted with people different from themselves ( in my experience ).
Imagine The Three Stooges on acid. This is even funnier. December 25, 1998

The second volume of a four-volume set. Our friends at The Ripoff Press have encapsulated all of the mind-blowing insanity of the '60s drug scene in this tale of three hippies (Freewheelin Franklin, Phineas, and Fat Freddy) who spend their days tripping from one score to the next while dodging the landlord, the cops, bikers, street gangs, hillbillies, even the FBI! No well-rounded adult should be without the complete set. Check out the Freak Brothers web page and see what I mean.
Graphic, gritty, hilarious, and very un-PC. Not for wimps. October 18, 1998
The first of a four volume set, this compendium of the Ripoff Press' infamous comic strip "The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers" will have you rolling on the floor in tears. Provided, of course, that you can see the satirical humor in a strip about three drug-crazed brothers (Freewheelin' Franklin, Phineas, and Fat Freddy) who live only to make the next score. Each page is filled with vulgar language, drugs, sex, violence, nudity, crime, and more drugs. These things are not glorified in the strip, but merely revealed to you as real and ridiculous as any of mankind's endeavors. The black-and-white strip is drawn in a peculiarly heavy-lined style, which gives it a very earthy feel. You simply have read it to understand it, and once you stop laughing, you'll be hooked. Truly the funniest thing I have ever read.
