Furry Freak Brothers story involving Fat Freddy misbehaving in a public library?

[full_metal_ox]

Without any of the comics ready to hand, I'm trying to determine the specific story in which the Freak Brothers visit a public library; Fat Freddy, demonstrating his usual level of social housebreaking, loudly demands to see the "fuck books." The librarian, a prissily buttoned-down stereotype, frostily informs him that the library does not and will never carry fuck books; Freddy, firmly convinced that she's holding out on him, thereupon launches a riot to "LIBERATE THE FUCK BOOKS!"

(Psst, Freddy? Try checking under 155.3, 613.9, and/or 808.803538--and an indoor voice and some rudimentary manners wouldn't hurt.)

ETA 5 December 2024: it’s “The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers go to COLLEGE!”, from The Collected Adventures of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers #1 (1971; Rip Off Press), by Gilbert Shelton.

Oh, damn. I remember the story, but not which issue, and I'm not sure we have ours anymore...

Found it: it’s “The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers go to COLLEGE!”, from The Collected Adventures of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers #1 (1971; Rip Off Press), by Gilbert Shelton. I added an image link to the entry.

Oh dear, I Googled and see that you asked this question a while back too!

And found no answer there, although a number of library-savvy folks suggested further helpful call numbers for Freddy (and, by implication, the inquiring reader) to investigate.

(I figured that, after an interval of some years, a new comm on a different platform might be worth a shot; hope I'm not committing a faux pas thereby.)

Not at all; you are welcome to ask in any number of places. If it helps find the book, it's all good. :)

At long bloody last, I’ve identified the story and edited the post accordingly, adding an illustrative image link; thank you for your willingness to help.

And — after only ten years! — I’ve finally ID’d it: it’s “The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers go to COLLEGE!”, from The Collected Adventures of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers #1 (1971; Rip Off Press), by Gilbert Shelton; I’ve added an image link to the entry.

(My inbox yielded these further helpful comments from the original LJ post - the comm having long since been deleted and purged:

hibiscusrose: don't forget HQ 12-472 if you're LC!
(sorry, I just had to say that!)

reynardo: 612.6. The most mucked up section of my High School library...

And this is one reason I hang onto nearly two decades’ worth of cybercorrespondence.)
