Underground comics are going above ground, starting with The Freak Brothers, an animated series based on The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comic books from the '60s and '70s. Originally created by Gillbert Shelton, he later had help from Paul Mavrides and Dave Sheridan.
The comic strips, which appeared in High Times and other publications, features Freewheelin' Franklin Freak, Fat Freddy Freetkowski, Phineas T. Phreak and Fat Freddy's Cat. The characters are voiced frespectively by Woody Harrelson, John Goodman, Peter Davidson and Tiffany Haddish.
Harrelon posted at Instagram: "I'm really psyched to be part of the legendary comic @TheFreakBrothers. I don't know why, but this humor is right up my alley."
The sneak preview features the stoner gang as they visit the White House and fight President Trump over a bucket of KFC. They even get the Chief Executive to smoke a joint.
The series has yet be picked by a network, but is expected to debut somewhere this fall.
