Dealer McDope

Dealer McDope is a recurring supporting character in Gilbert Shelton's underground comix series The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, serving as the disreputable drug dealer who supplies the trio of stoner antiheroes in their countercultural misadventures.

Dealer McDope is one of the most delightfully disreputable supporting players in underground comix history — a character born in 1971 out of Gilbert Shelton's gloriously anarchic The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, the flagship title of Rip Off Press and a cornerstone of Bronze Age counterculture comics. Popping up across The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers and Rip Off Comix, McDope shares his pages with beloved icons like Fat Freddy Freekowtski, Freewheelin' Franklin Freek, and Phineas T. Freakers — the kind of rowdy, irreverent company that tells you everything you need to know about the world he inhabits. With only a handful of catalog appearances, he's a rare find rather than a ubiquitous presence, which makes him a genuine gem for collectors who love the wilder, weirder fringes of the Bronze Age underground scene.
