The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers

The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers are iconic underground comic characters created by Gilbert Shelton in the 1960s. They are three laid-back, counterculture stoners—Freewheelin’ Franklin, Phineas, and Fat Freddy—who often find themselves involved in humorous, satirical adventures that critique societal norms, authority, and conformity. Their stories reflect the rebellious spirit of the hippie era, emphasizing themes of freedom, individualism, and cannabis culture. Appreciated for their wit and cultural commentary, they have become symbols of the underground comic movement and the 1960s counterculture.
