“This isn't just some mildly amusing artifact of a bygone age. THE FABULOUS FURRY FREAK BROTHERS are amongst the funniest comic work ever written and drawn. I love Cheech & Chong, but they paled in comparison to THE FABULOUS FREAK BROTHERS - which was THE break-out comic characters of the Underground Era. Gilbert Shelton's talent for humor is nearly unparalleled. And much of the humor doesn't revolve around just drugs, but their interaction with their sentient cat, a corrupt and hilarious government, friendship, poverty, laziness, desperation, facing reality and so many universals”. - Harry Knowles AIn’t it cool news.

“Simply put, The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers is the Rosetta Stone (no pun intended) of “stoner” humor as we now understand the genre...” Steve Bunche - Publishers Weekly
