Fat Freddy's Kater

Gilbert Shelton's Fat Freddy's Kater (Rotbuch Verlag, 1986–1990) is a German-language, two-issue comic series starring the perpetually stoned, cat-obsessed member of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. Shelton, the creator of the Freak Brothers, brings his signature underground comix irreverence to these standalone misadventures, with Fat Freddy's feline companion often causing as much chaos as the era's counterculture trappings. Though brief, the series is a quirky, niche extension of Shelton's iconic body of work, capturing the tail end of the underground comix movement's influence on European publishing.
