Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers (Rip Off Press) Issue 8
Published 1984 by Rip Off Press.
30 page Freak Brothers story "The Idiots Abroad Part One"
Script: Gilbert Shelton and Paul Mavrides
Artwork: Gilbert Shelton and Paul Mavrides
Gilbert Shelton, who started out drawing 'Wonder Warthog' for Harvey Kurtzman's "Help!" magazine, went on to create the quintessential '60's comic-book characters, the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. Struggling with the classic issues of hippiedom the Freaks evaded law and order, survived bouts of money and drug shortages, and managed to keep their funky s--t together until the late '70's.
In this ludicrous misadventure the Freaks attempt to take a flight abroad in a time of airline deregulation. Accidentally split up they become embroiled in a military/terrorist plot to take over the world. Fat Freddy winds up with an atom bomb, Phineas becomes head of his own cash religion and in the end the trio save the world in spite of themselves! A wonderful finale to a great comic.
