Key Details About the Comic
Characters: The series revolves around a trio of characters: Freewheelin' Franklin Freek (the laid-back, street-smart one), Fat Freddy Freekowtski (whose main wants are "food, weed, and to have a good time"), and Phineas T. Phreakears (the intellectual and temperamental leader). The comic also features the popular recurring character Fat Freddy's Cat, who often has his own side stories.
Creators & Publisher: It was created by Texas artist Gilbert Shelton, with Dave Sheridan and Paul Mavrides later collaborating. The comic was originally published by Rip Off Press, a company founded in 1969 by Shelton and friends to publish independent, adult-themed comics outside of the mainstream Comics Code Authority censorship.
Content & Style: The stories are generally black and white inside. The plots often involve the brothers' misadventures in trying to score marijuana, avoiding work, and navigating society, often running into law enforcement parodies like Norbert the Nark, an inept DEA agent.
