• Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers

  Filed under People
  Apr 29

  The Freak Brothers are a threesome of hippies (hippies were commonly known as "freaks" in 1970s U.S. slang) from San Francisco: Phineas Freakears, Freewheelin’ Franklin, and Fat Freddy. The trio are anti-heroes, taking large quantities of drugs and consistently defying authority. They are lazy (several storylines revolve around the "horror" of one of the brothers having to find work) and unreliable — particularly in the case of Fat Freddy.

  The three Freak Brothers personalities:

  • Freewheelin’ Franklin, although laid-back, is the most street-smart of the trio. He has no known last name, and apparently has always been on the streets. In one story, he reveals that he grew up in an orphanage and never knew his parents. Tall and skinny, he has a big bulbous nose, a waterfall moustache, and a ponytail, and wears cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. His hair is red or blonde.
  • Phineas T. Freakears is the intellectual and idealist of the group; he can and has created new drugs, takes an avid interest in politics, and is the most committed of them to social change and environmental issues. He hails from Texas, and while his mother is relaxed and open-minded, his father is a card-carrying member of the John Birch Society. He is the hairiest, tall and skinny with a thick bush of black hair, a beard, a nose that bears more than a passing resemblance to a marijuana joint, and glasses.
  • Fat Freddy Freekowtski is the least intelligent, and can be seen as an embodiment of pure appetite. He regularly gets "burned" on drug transactions. He comes from a large, quite ordinary family in Cleveland. He is fat, or at least plump (hence his name) with curly yellow hair.

  Other regularly occurring characters include:

  Fat Freddy’s Cat, who appears mainly in his own, separate strip at the bottom of the one-page Freak Brothers strips, also has several multi-page stories devoted to him. Many of his strips parallel a storyline in the corresponding Freak Brothers story, and often have themes of a scatological nature. The Cat is sometimes known as "Fat Freddy Scat" and has used the alias "F. Frederic Skitty". His "nephews" refer to him as "Uncle F." He often finds himself confronting an army of cockroaches and a huge tribe of mice who share the apartment with the Freak Brothers. A sort of hippie "Garfield", he is far smarter than his owner (whom he frequently refers to as "the obese one") and regards the Freak Brothers with amused contempt.

  • Norbert the Nark, an inept DEA agent who is continually trying, and failing, to arrest the Freak Brothers.
  • Hiram "Country" Cowfreak, a hippy who grows vast quantities of marijuana at his isolated farmstead. He is referred to as the Freak Brothers’ "cousin".
  • Dealer McDope, one of the trio’s dealers. He is often name-checked in the magazines but rarely appears "in person".
  • Tricky Prickears, a blind and deaf detective, sometimes billed as "The Freak Brothers’ favourite law enforcement officer" (a parody of Dick Tracy).
  • Governor Rodney Richpigge, A stereotypical rich, corrupt politician whom the Freak Brothers hold in general contempt. The Governor’s son is a cocaine dealer.
