A page from The Origins of Comics -
the first fabulous Furry Freak Brothers by Gilbert Shelton

The made their debut in the pages of the May 6, 1968 issue of Austin-based Underground newspaper, “The Rag”.

Gilbert created the trio of characters after watching a Marx Brothers/Three Stooges double feature one night in Austin.
