Comics #9

Release Date: 5/22/02

Freaky Fry-Day.
It seems like "Great Nephew Day" creeps up on you all of a sudden, just like "Red-Headed Stepchild Day." So Fry goes in search of the perfect gift for Professor Farnsworth. Little does he know that his gift will lead to a scientifically unexplainable phenomenon that will make them both swap bodies. Farnworth's personality inhabits Fry's body and vice versa. The whole thing turns into a really "Freaky Fry Day."

Thats a stupid review zues, you're stupid! I say it was one of the best comics ever! True most of the drawings were way off but the story made up for that. I loved that they used so meny of the minor characters; especialy Wernstrum! I alwase enjoy reading the comics in the voises of the characters, I can do Fry, bender,Farnsworth,Zoidberg,and Zap,realy well; so I loved doing Wernstrum his voice is so fun. That was great when Farnsworth used Frys body to get revenge on Wernstrum. HA HA Ha very funny ish!

Excellent story - crummy drawing (in fact, the art looked like it was drawn by kids at some points)

This was the first Futurama Comic that I ever bought and read and I have to say that I think that it was very well done. I've read a few Simpsons Comics and they always seem very different from the actual show "The Simpsons" whereas this Futurama Comic issue was right on the ball with the type of story lines the show "Futurama" usually has. I took my time reading it and after I was finished it felt as if I had just watched a new Futurama episode. I rate it 5 points out of 5. Also, I highly anticipate the Simpsons/Futurama Crossover Comic that is coming out at the end of the summer.

My Favorite Quote:
Fry in the Professor's Body: "And Leela told me on a delivery mission the other day that she hasn't had sex since..."

When I saw the cover I thought it was another "God Bless America" cliche comic cover, but then when I read the top "Made in the U.S.A.! (printed in Canada)" I knew it was all a joke. Great story too.

This comic has an awesome storyline, and it was really funny too. I loved it when the Crushinator showed up with 'the fruits of Benders software'. And the Professor was really evil, but in a good way. Some of the drawing was pretty off though. But otherwise it's a great addition to the Futurama comics.

My review for issue 7 works for this issue too. Great story and script, pity about the drawing! It's all John Delaney fault, he should learn to draw Fry without those stupid bags under his eyes!

I think this is the best comic out so far, the drawings were a bit dodgy but the story was awesome, because I live in Australia issue 9 just came out.

This wasn't a really good issue. The storyline was okay, but not great and most of all the artwork sucked. I agree with James, don't put those rings under Fry's eye's! The Wernstrum idea wasn't that good either.
See ya!

This comic was very well done. The jokes where excellent, it was one of the funniest comics i have ever read. The classic brain switches are golden. The professor (in frys body) is extremly amusing. This comic is one for the ages, and I highly recomend it.

I'd say this comic was good. You should pick it up if u find one. The robotwash was packed with jokes and the storyline was great.

It was great, not awesome, the art was kind of wonky but the pictures of Bender getting scrubbed by all the fembots was classic. Classic!

The story was interesting. Nothing new but instead of Fry and Leela switching bodies (the obvious choice) Fry and the Proffeser switched. A nice twist although fry in Farnsworth's body didn't get much screen time. (no pun intended)

Great comic, loved the bit at the back where you see the planet express building in detail and also seeing some of those old characters like the crushanator, the doctor, fender and wernstrom.

The srory was really cool and I liked the whole freaky friday idea.I really liked how the professor beat up wernstrom. There weren't any jokes in this wone but it still was a really good comic. I didn't get to read the ending because someone ripped the pages out.
