Filemon

Fred's surreal and satirical newspaper strip, Filemon, ran for three issues from 1979 to 1980, published by Coeckelberghs. With scripts by Fred, Sture Hegerfors, and Pierre Zekeli, and art by Fred, this short-lived series is a curious artifact of European comic experimentation. It matters as a showcase for Fred's distinctive, deadpan visual style and offbeat humor, capturing a moment of creative freedom in the late-70s Franco-Belgian scene.
