> [@Dr.Winston\_OBoogie](#): > > Damn. I was hoping that was too obscure of a reference. Yeah, Fat Freddy’s Cat. Freewheeling Franklin. Not Phineas. You must be an old phart like me. Not that old. Gen X, but my older sister married an ex-hippie who had several boxes of comix that he lent me. Lots of R. Crumb and drug stuff. Freak Brothers were my favorite, especially after I got to use one of their lines in real life. In high school, I had long hair down past my shoulders, and one dude was constantly bugging me with “Are you a boy or a girl? I really can’t tell”. Finally Fat Freddy (I think) gave me the perfect reply - “Why don’t you suck my dick and find out!” Never got bothered again after that one. The old hippie took his boxes to a comic book shop in the early 90s, and was told they were worthless - 25c an issue was all they would give him. I don’t know if my sister still has them - she’s been going through his stuff after he died last year. ---
