FABULOUS FURRY FREAK BROTHERS IDIOTS ABROAD & OTHER FOLLIESFANTAGRAPHICS BOOKSStockID: 74795 SKU: FEB231397The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers are the most iconic and enduring underground comix characters ever created- having sold over 45 million comics in 16 languages. Created in 1968 by Gilbert Shelton- widely recognized as one of the funniest cartoonists who ever lived- the Freak Brothers' rollicking and hilariously self-destructive escapades are comedic masterpieces of farce and satire. Fantagraphics is proud to announce that it is collecting all their cannabis-fueled adventures in a new series- Freak Brothers Follies. Each deluxe hardcover will feature a special die-cut cover. The first volume leads off with 'The Idiots Abroad-' a brilliant- novel-length tour de force of slapstick and screwball adventure- showcasing Shelton's gift for weaving together an intricate plot with droll dialogue and pitch-perfect comedic timing. Phineas- Freewheelin' Franklin- and Fat Freddy head out with high hopes for Colombia- but (as always!) their plans go awry in the most hilariously self-destructive way possible. Scattered around the world - to Scotland- Russia- Africa- South America- and the Middle East - they manage to antagonize- offend- and otherwise annoy various groups of nuclear terrorists- human traffickers- pirates- and religious fanatics. Meanwhile- Fat Freddy's Cat- abandoned at home- not only has his own fur-raising adventure- he even sells the story to Hollywood!This is a PRESALE. Release date stated in title.
