This is awful. And not the good kind of awful. The kind of awful made for 12-year-old boys high for the first time.
I’m going to have to pull out my old Freak Brothers comics. I don’t remember them being this stupid. I could be wrong, because the 70s are kinda blurry for me.
It looked perfect, it sounded pretty decent but…whoever wrote this drivel missed the mark completely. There is no cleverness or edge here…move along.
It appears that this show will age just about as well as 2019 political cartoons will.
Ouch. Just, ouch.
As an aging hippie who once owned an enormous collection of Zap!, Weirdo, Head Comix, and other underground titles (man, what did I do with all of those?), this is just awful.
I mean, Family Guy awful.
Is this enjoyable to anyone? I don’t get it.
(goes back to watching The Midnight Gospel.)
Also, Fat Freddy’s Cat was very definitely a tom. I think I can safely assume that the character animation doesn’t include his balls, which were always on display in the comix.
Not sure how much fun this will be if they’re NOT always on the run from “the man” any more.
Was that a KFC commercial?
May Gilbert Shelton have gotten paid. Where’s the Wonder Warthog movie we all need?
a period piece firmly set in its historical moment might work better
That’s pretty bad.
Was that an oblique reference to Willie Nelson at the end, I wonder?
Damn…that is so much better than what we are getting…
2020 continues to suck in the most unexpected ways.
This seems to have missed the mark … how 2020 of it.
Wow, now that one looks too good, made me feel kinda… spaced out…
