  2. Hi Joe!!!,
    The "Freak Brother'" are some Cool Guys!! originally drawn by Gilbert Sheldon back in the late 60's...I was living the Los Angeles area back then and the Guys showed up in the underground Newspaper the "Los Angeles Free Press!!!!" Yup i sill have some of the original papers ... AND!! The several "Freak Brother comix"... right along with Rob crumb's "ZAP Comix!!" Now... Do some diggin' and see if ya' can find some of the early exploits of the Brothers!!.. and Man! there are some goodies!!!
    BTW..... There is a "Skydiving Community" of Jumpers who became "Freak Brother's!!" ,, The Group was founded by 2 brothers from Sanwich Illinois who were at a skydiving get together in Fla. .. some jumpers were organizing a formation load of I think 20 or 30 jumpers and needed a couple more participants.. Roger and Carl were in sight and someone said,"How about those two Freak Brothers over there there??" (Roger and Carl had long hair!! thus!!!) They got on the jump and it was a great dive!! so Carl and Roger declared them to be "FREAK BROTHERS!!" and thus the community got started.. So if ya' got to jump with Freak Brother and were deemed worthy you sent in yer' $2.00 and got yer' membership card !! I became a Freak brother back in the early 1980's on a jump at Skydive Perris in Ca. when Jana B. said ya''ll are Freak Brother's!! Sent in my 2 bucks , got my card and am Freak Brother 1495!!! The Guys would have Freak Brother's Conventions in Illinois and I went to the one in 1984 at Free Port Ill. (redesignated Freakport!!!) there is a YouTube video of the "1982 Convention" ,,,,,,,,,, "Freak Brother's Convention!! check it out!!
    And,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,l
