“Gilbert Shelton is as near as comics have come to producing a natural comedic genius of the same stature as a Chaplin or a Tati. With the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers he has created a hilarious and unlikely sibling trio as timeless in their appeal as the Marx Brothers. He is truly one of the greatest and most sublimely funny talents that the comic medium has to offer.” – Alan Moore
“The amazing thing about Shelton’s definitive underground comic strips is that you can still turn on, tune in, drop out and laugh, which is fabulous and furry indeed.” – Martin Rowson, The Independent
“The fully realised vision of a master story-teller and social critic.” – The Comics Journal
