Freak Brothers

I know this isn't bike related but i'm just having a good rummage around in my loft and I came across my collection of my Fabulous Furry Freak Brother & Fat Freddy's Cat magazines that I have had for about 25 years. I sat there for hours reading those and laughing my head off and just thinking of the good times I used to have in my younger days.
It would nice to know that i'm not alone on this one.
Are there any other ageing hippies out there that are are still fans of the brothers?

I sprayed a Fat Freddy's Cat logo on the tail piece of my z650 in the 80's and everybody used to say " wow Fat Freddy's Cat" it really amazed me then how many people new about the brothers.

Anyway, back to my loft!!

Used to read them all the time in the early 70's. One of my favorites was when Fat Freddy's cat used Freddy's stereo headphones instead of the litter box.

Wow, man!....
You bet your hootie that I remember those mags....i still have a few around as well but not a complete collection. Those you have might be worth something one of these days....lol.
My favorite thing of all was the "Mr. Natural" character with the proviso that "Twas ever thus!", that saying has followed me from the 60's and is still there....
Of course Fat Freddys cat was also a favorite, I will swear one of my cats is descendent from those genes....
I should poke around on the net to see what's still around about them....
Thanks for those memories...
Bill
