"Hey, Mr. Mac! Are you done filming yet?"

[mac56]

8. Filming?

¿Quė?

[DS1]

There was a big book of Freak Brothers

Fat Freddy ends up taking in a particularly nasty mix of drugs and ends up with a case of psychotic munchies. Franklin runs ahead and gussies himself up real quick and explains to some store owner that the store is about to get hit with a candid camera tv crew, and to not worry etc etc.

Freddy comes in with a machete and eats/tears his way through the entire store, passes out, Phineas and Franklin load more grub onto Freddys stomach and pick him up by his hands and legs and haul him away.

"Hey, Mr. Mac, you done filming?" was the store owner calling after them.

Good shit.

[mac56]

14. Cool! I dimly remember that one!

Forgot the Mr. Mac punchline, though! Thanks!

6. Oh yes.

Captain Pissgums.

We actually named a parrot that.

[Bridget Burke]

22. No, that's S. Clay Wilson.

He created Captain Pissgums & his Pervert Pirates. As well as the Checkered Demon.

His stuff was a bit rougher than Gilbert Shelton's.

[China_cat]

24. well, we had them all

and were probably too stoned to tell the difference. :)

[blindpig]

27. haw haw haw!

The Checkered Demon was my role model. Whatcha gotta go through for some tumblers.......

[Kali]

7. Got em all

and my husband IS Fat Freddy and when we first met (and for several years after) he had Fat Freddy's Cat - orange furry funny nose - even moved out to the country with it (remember that one?). Only diff is, it was a she (sort of) and her name was Yoyo.

[TX-RAT]

11. I always seem to keep a orange cat around.

Don't know why.

[Kali]

9. oh man,

even have most of the pieces/board from "Its a Raid" party game!

[alittlelark]

10. My fav was the one w/ the brothers going up to a cruddy cabin

with their girlfriends and a huge bag of coke....they started snorting and fixing up the cabin until they turned it into a mansion, and they all started looking like movie stars. Then they ran out of coke.

[TX-RAT]

12. When they went to Mexico was my favorite

Remember the tumble weed attack?

[ET Awful]

13. I used to swipe my dads High Times magazine to read the

Freak Bros. in the back :). That was in the mid-70's.

[Indiana_Dem]

19. Oh thanks! That's so nostalgic!

In high school me and my friends thought we were so cool going to this little head shop in my small town and we would buy that magazine. There were always rumors that the guy who owned the place worshipped the devil in the back room and you could see a big pentagram on the floor. His name was Elvie and the shop was located in a MORE rundown part of town everyone called "Boomtown". We thought we were so cool, it was like going to a haunted hosue or something because we were afraid we'd be snatched and used as a sacrifice or something! LOL My friends used to get high all the time and we bought this one chicken claw pipe that everybody thought was so neat. This was back in the mid-late 70s and early 80s, mind you. We were following in the footsteps of our older hippie predecessors well known in school. Thanks for bringing up the funny memories!

17. Don't know, haven't seen one in years.

18. Freak Brothers

I bought my first Freak Brothers comic in Berkeley, Ca. in 1969 and I've still got it. The Navy sent me to NAS Alameda after school which was the absolute worst place you could send a freak. Purple Owlsley, Fillmore West, etc.. Man if I could re-live those days.

[TX-RAT]

20. I bought my first Freak Brothers comic in Berkeley

I was in the Army. Somebody sent it to a friend. We wore it out reading it. It was either that or C-RAT labels.

21. "One orange cat is pretty much like another"

Applies to more than just cats...

[Bridget Burke]

23. Wonder Warthog preceded the Freak Brothers.

Also a creation of Gilbert Shelton, he appeared in my brother's Hot Rod magazines. (He may have begun in a UT publication.)

The Hog of Steel's secret identity was the meek Philbert K. Desanex.

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

25. Don't forget Dealer McDope

Groover McToober
J. Paul Ghetto
Country Cowphreak
Colonel Cornfeld
Fundaligionism

26. Where do ya think my user name came from?

I've built a collection from the unofficial #1 up through. I just had them out the other day, "Don't flush the stash fellows it's only zap me, zap me, zap me". Meanwhile Phineas and Franklin are jumping with joy " IT WORKS ".
The trap they set for narcs.

The trouble is they're all reprints, my first editions walked away.
