Welcome to the vibrant and outrageous universe of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers! In this captivating collection, titled High Times and Misdemeanors, readers are treated to a delightful journey filled with laughter, mischief, and unexpected adventures. The graphic novel features the beloved trio: Freewheelin’ Franklin, Phineas, and Fat Freddy, who navigate through a whimsical escapade that promises to entertain and amuse.

The story kicks off as the brothers believe they’ve struck it rich by starting their own budget-friendly bus line, aptly named “The $29.95 SF to NYC Non-Stop Whiteline Cannonball Express.” However, what seems like a brilliant plan quickly spirals into chaos as the brothers overlook essential details. For instance, they neglect to factor in the cost of gas, leading to comical detours along the way. In a hilarious twist, they also allow their passengers to vote on the stops, resulting in an unpredictable journey that is anything but ‘express.’

As if that weren’t enough, Fat Freddy is given some cash to procure marijuana, but instead returns with an electric train set, showcasing the absurdity that defines their escapades. This volume includes an array of colorful strips featuring the Freak Brothers, originally published in esteemed magazines like High Times and Playboy, bringing a nostalgic flair to the reading experience.

Additionally, readers can enjoy Fat Freddy’s Cat in the black-and-white tale “Chariots of the Globs” and the vibrant “The Burning of Hollywood,” along with other solo adventures that provide depth and diversity to the collection. High Times and Misdemeanors is the fifth installment in the acclaimed series of seven graphic albums, each providing a chronological exploration of the Freak Brothers’ hilarious antics. Although the series is being released in a different order, fans can eagerly anticipate the forthcoming volumes, including Volumes 1 and 7.
