“I’m Fat Freddy’s Cat
and I ain’t no kitty,
so don’t call me that
or I gonna get shitty!”
“1968 ?.. I can’t remember what happened to my Squrkin Works brass tube, cork
stoppered carburetor pipe … does that mean I really WAS there?”
I’ve seen the episodes so far, a bit of South Park and the Simpsons angles kind of updating the FFF Brothers,… Most of it’s pretty funny.
When I was a kid in the 70s, the neighborhood record store/headshop in my small grimy midwestern city carried these comics.
I found them way more interesting than any superhero comics.
My Dad had a Fat Freddy’s Cat comic book that was a collection of all the strips dedicated to said feline that I read non-stop when I was wee, and was way “inappropriate” for my age (seriously, I was like 4-5 when I started reading it), and I absolutely adored it.
I’d go so far to say it had a formative effect on my sense of humour, and only got better as I got older and was able to recognise some of the more risque elements.
Same. The Black, in San Diego, had it alongside all the other trippy stuff they sold. As an 8-12 year old it seemed like a very funny world beyond my understanding, and very illicit.
The entire battle against the roach army was so hilarious, and it seemed to have been called out in a couple of sequences in the new series.
