[QUOTE=RickJay] If they came out with all-new Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comix, I’d subscribe. The softball game episode, where their team was trying to lose but Fat Freddy wins with a home run because he’s so goddamned high the ball looks like it’s the size of a pumpkin, had me in tears. [/QUOTE] Art by Steadman. And you forgot that because his home run, his team loses all their bets and they make him eat his hat, which is why he joined their team to begin with. Rutabagas rutabagas root root root! I learned how to make millions of dollars out of a dollar bill and a color copier. Fundaligionism! ---

Hey, I’m curious … how many of you FFFB fans out there are female? Because I never knew any girl except me who liked FFFB. I’m not the only one, am I? (No, I’m not going to guess gender from user names. Only in rare cases is it obvious.) ---

Mexican prisons have a funny system. The Bill of Rights only applies in the U.S.; in foreign countries, U.S. officials can do anything they want to you. (Shelton figured that out long before BushCo.) ---

[QUOTE=danceswithcats] Fat Freddy’s Cat-one of my favorite comic strip books, natch. 😃 [/QUOTE] F. Frederick Skitty. My fave character. To answer a previous doper, I’m a woman, and as a teen in the coughcough70scough, I was a big fan. I’m an Alaskan, and back then pot was legal in our state, it’s still only a misdemeanor or something like that. (It’s been over 20 years, and I haven’t kept up :D). Anyway, as you can imagine, FFFBs was pretty much the state book. ---

[QUOTE=DevNull] What is so funny about comparing cockroaches to prolific socialists? [/QUOTE] The cockroaches in Phineas’ bedroom are socialists. The ones in Fat Freddy’s room (I think – or perhaps the kitchen) are capitalists. The difference is based on the relative abundance of edible trash.
