The Adventures of Fat Freddy's Cat

Gilbert Shelton spun off this short-lived Rip Off Press series from his underground comix classic The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, giving the spotlight to the group's perpetually unimpressed feline. Running for two issues between 1977 and 1982, the strip follows the cat's own adventures, often more clever and self-serving than his human owners'. Shelton's solo work on writing and art here offers a lean, focused dose of his signature counterculture humor, making it a minor but essential piece of underground comix history for fans of the Freak Brothers' world.
