Collects all the colored works together. First published as three comic books comes, the longest Freak Brothers story ever told in "The Idiots abroad", plus short stories published in magazines like Playboy Magazine and High Times Magazine. Starring Fat Freddy, Freewheelin' Franklin, and Phineas.
This shorter volume collects all the colour stories, many of which are really artistic things of beauty. Includes the most ambitious Freaks story, "The Idiots Abroad," which ran for three issues in the comic book and really is a remarkable piece of work, albeit offbeat. A lot of good, incisive counter-cultural satire herein.
Second collection of the Freak Brothers comic featuring color versions of the stories including the Idiot's Abroad story. Most of the Freak Brothers adventures were told over the course of a single page or a couple of pages at most. Idiot's Abroad stretched out over three issues. The Brothers have the great idea to go to Columbia to buy drugs at the source but get separated at the airport and have wacky solo adventures around the world before reuniting.
Other notable stories include the Brothers buying a run down RV and paying for expenses by offering rides to NYC, when Fat Freddy (in disguise) convinced Norbert the Narc he was an expert on street drugs and got him to pay for an ad campaign to bring awareness to the (fictional) drug Squeak, and when the Brothers split up to go their separate ways (spoiler: they reunite in the end).
In this volume the Freaks take a trip to the country side, get a house there, meet some girls with whom they share the house with, they discover gold in there and it becomes some sort of weird improved mine city, insane, as the freaks normally are.
