Fat Freddys Cat
Rip-Off Press (1977-2003)
Fat Freddy’s Cat began life as a footnote strip to the Freak Brothers and later appeared in many comics of his own. He is often to be found sleeping on the unfortunate Fat Freddy’s head. His constant battles with the never-ending army of roaches out for world domination drive him to distraction, as does Fat Freddy’s never-ending failure to feed him or empty his kitty litter box. This cat has variously gone travelling to Mexico, saved the world from alien invasion and worked as a government agent in Washington trying to save the world from the hee hee hee’ drug.’
Freak Brother Fat Freddy had a cat. The cat was featured in most of the Freak Brothers comic books from the ’70s. The cat was really popular, so Gilbert Shelton and Rip Off Press put him in his own comic book. Shelton, perhaps the funniest writer in the underground, is very funny in this series, which spanned over fifteen years but only seven issues. The series was quite successful, going through many reprintings, and many of the cartoons here are still fresh and laugh-out-loud funny today.
