Welcome to the whimsical world of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, where laughter meets adventure. In this third installment of the Freak Brothers Follies series, titled Grass Roots and Other Follies, you will find our beloved characters—Freewheelin’ Franklin, Phineas, and Fat Freddy—returning to their roots in a riotous journey filled with humor, mischief, and unexpected twists.

Our story begins as the Brothers venture back to their hippie origins. They score some sinsemilla from a country cousin, igniting a series of comedy-laden events. As they embark on a quest to start a softball league, the motivation is simple: free drinks! Amidst the chaos, they adopt a parakeet that possesses a remarkable wit, managing to outsmart the D.E.A. with its clever antics.

One of the highlights of this volume is the title story, which encapsulates an epic adventure that ran for over six months in various newspapers. In this tale, the Brothers face eviction from their apartment and decide to escape to the countryside in search of a quieter life. However, they soon discover that nature has its own plan, and it doesn’t necessarily welcome them with open arms. In contrast, Fat Freddy’s Cat seems to adapt seamlessly to outdoor living, adding an extra layer of humor to the narrative.

But the fun doesn’t stop there! This volume also includes a bonus tale titled “Animal Camp,” where Fat Freddy’s Cat takes the lead in an accidental animal rights adventure. This delightful story showcases the Brothers’ unique charm and their ability to find themselves in bizarre yet entertaining situations.

As part of a special series comprising seven volumes, Grass Roots and Other Follies compiles the complete adventures of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. These comics have achieved remarkable success, with over 45 million copies sold globally in 16 languages. The painstakingly restored hardcovers offered in this series mark the first North American bookshelf editions in more than thirty years, making it a must-have for collectors and fans alike.

Moreover, the Freak Brothers have recently gained renewed popularity through an animated series currently streaming on Tubi, which stars an impressive lineup including Woody Harrelson, Pete Davidson, John Goodman, and Tiffany Haddish. With the series renewed for a second season set to release in December 2022, the charm of the Brothers continues to captivate audiences.

This collection features stunning full-color illustrations throughout, enhancing the reading experience and bringing the characters and their adventures to life. Whether you are a longtime fan or new to the world of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, this volume promises to deliver laughter, nostalgia, and a delightful escape into a world of comic brilliance.
