Hey old hippies, remember Zap comics and the freak brothers?

[Mountainman]

I remember one of the freak brothers getting zapped in the privates by plugging into the wall socket. They did anything to get a high!

How about Horse Shit magazine. "Did you get your daily does of horse shit today?"

They had a drawing of the All American mom and dad. The were nude but had no genitals. And they had a crusifix getting an erection while a cute nun was undressing in front of it. It was tasteless to say the least.

[Scurrilous]

1. I remember...

...the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. They kept sending one guy (Fat Freddy?) out to buy dope and he always got burned. Funny stuff.

[Maeve]

10. Bode---wow, that brings back memories!

When National Lampoon was a must-read and some of us knew the real reason "Animal House"'s character "Pinto" got his name...

[mac56]

11. hee hee!

Chris Miller rocks!

[Scurrilous]

24. Speaking of Pinto...

"The Night Of The Seven Fires"

My favorite tale about the lads of the Adelphian Lodge.

[mac56]

2. Oh,absolutely.

R Crumb is always in a class of his own.

The Freak brothers - Fat Freddy, Phineas, and Freewheelin' Franklin - and of course Fat Freddy's Cat.

"I'm Fat Freddy's Cat
and I'm mean and tough
I take no guff
when I strut my stuff..."

Remember Wonder Warthog? The Hog of Steel?

[ret5hd]

8. wasn't Fat Freddy's Cat named Fat Freddy Scat?

[mac56]

9. right you are -

Fat Freddy Scat! I remember it now.

[sirreal]

19. Only to Fat Freddy's Cat

To the populace at large, he was Fat Freddy's Cat. But Fat Freddy's Cat knew his name was F. Frederick Skitty.

[Bridget Burke]

18. Gilbert Shelton drew the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers

Not R Crumb.

Of course I remember Wonder Warthog--whose secret identity was Philbert K Desanex. I first encountered him in (pre-hippy) hot rod/custom car magazines, where I also met:



Big Daddy Roth's Rat Fink!

[DS1]

28. Don't forget Country Cowpoke

Norbert the Narc

[jmowreader]

33. And Dealer McDope!

I haven't ever done drugs and I love the Freak Brothers!

[sirreal]

34. Country Cowpoke???

Don't you mean Country Cowfreak?

[DS1]

35. Uh, yeah, just tossing out a floater

to detect the real fans. Yeah, that's the ticket!

[SHRED]

3. No...

...I mean yes...

:hippie:

[nostamj]

4. i still have Zap #4 in my collection

utterly filthy and tasteless.

on edit: correct # and graphic

[quispquake]

7. Joe Shmo!!!

I've really pissed off a few friends by letting them read that one...it truly is the most offensive comic I've EVER seen (but the sick side of me laughed, so what do you do???)

[nostamj]

12. uh huh....

truly sick stuff

[Tripper11]

5. Wasn't there a Freak Olympics as well at one time?

Or was that an Urban legend?

I remember a bunch of people talking about these Freak Olympics back in the 70's where there would be a gathering at some secret location. People would have to go through various drug induced/inducing activities to be rewarded.

[TreasonousBastard]

6. Keep on truckin' man.

Want some good oldies:

13. Far out , man....

Phinius, Freewheelin' Frank and Fat Freddy & Fat Freddy's cat was too cool.....

I remember Fat Freddy's cat would shit in his head phones...and...
one time...The cockroaches and mice in the house joined forces to try to kill the cat...the leaders of the cockroaches had a truce meeting with the mice generals to try to combine forces...
Cock-a-roaches: "Our friends the mice, let's put aside our differences and join together in a mighty campaign to rid our world once and for all of our mutual enemy the cat...

The mice: " Ahhhh cockroaches" And they ate them....

(well, it was paraphrasing and I guess you had to been there...)

[TreasonousBastard]

14. That's a very heavy thing, man...

but, to tell the truth, I was too fuckin' stoned back then to remember any of it.

Just that it all happened.

[BlueJazz]

45. I remember that!

Remember when Fat Freddys Cat would put his paws on the window and say
"That bastard locked me in the house. All my friends are outside Fightin' and Fuckin' and my ass is stuck in here"

[BlackVelvetElvis]

47. I have most of the FFF brothers comics

That cockroach story was golden.

[quispquake]

15. Reply to "Keep On Truckin'"

Marge Simpson (from the episode where she & Lisa are creating a quilt): "I didn't know what it meant then, and I don't know what it means now"

[grannylib]

16. I used to love that stuff back in the day...eom

[pdx_prog]

17. who remembers..

The Fritz the cat movies?

[sirreal]

22. Ralph Bakshi!

Porno cartoons. Fritz was the most anti of the anti-heros in comic art of those days!

Not that I remember--my "much older" husband says so! ;)

Laura

27. That's like the line: "If you say you remember Woodstock,

[bubba_fett]

44. I'm a youngin'

Only 25. But I've been collecting zap for awhile, I don't have them all yet, but it's fun to poke around comic stores and conventions looking for them all. I will never stop being impressed by Robert Williams.

[alfredo]

46. I am looking for Detroit Comix, featuring Jeanie.

I knew the Jeanie that character was based on. He really caught her essence.
