One of his co-temps, Gilbert Shelton made great comics - the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fabulous_Furry_Freak_Brothers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fabulous_Furry_Freak_Broth...)
were my favorite. He had many characters in the FFFB, Norbert the Nark, Fat Freddy's Cat, Let My Chickens Free, and many others.
- waihtis 2y agoI came looking for this (thought the art style was very similar!)
- aurizon 2y agoGilbert Shelton is a comic genius.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXaHUMESoM4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXaHUMESoM4 His comic were creative and had very little NSFW and were the funniest thing I ever read, while much of the other UG comics were a lot more gross, some extremely so, his were like Scrooge McDuck humor - overlaid with generous marijuana use as well as a sprinkling of other drugs. Norbert the hapless Nark always came to grief in a funny way. Now we sell marijuana in many special state shops, while the feds think it = damnation. It had no social effect on me - I am a non smoker = smoke zero combustion carried drugs, like Nicotine or THC from that day to this - I just enjoyed the vicarious thrashing of the man. As a cat lover = Fat Freddy's cat was my fave...
