Friday Night Fury Freakout: S.U.M.M.E.R.* of Love

Can your brain contain the refrain of pain that's the inhumane bane? (Answer: are you insane?) Well, that's exactly what happens in tonight's Friday Night Fury Freakout, the comics blogosphere's first and only weekly focus on stuff that makes Mama Fury's little boy Nicholas go stark ravin' mad! Tonight: When Nick goes undercover at Max Yasgur's Bethal farm to investigate the claims that HYDRA is infiltrating America's tune in-drop out bell-bottom youth culture by posing as dirty commie hippies (inhale), he makes the mistake of accepting what he thinks is a simple "aspirin" from one of the youthful, bearded concert-goers. Let's watch!:

Whoa! Now Nick will never catch Sha-Na-Na's amazing act! Why, he was barely conscious for Sweetwater!

Join us next week when Nick Fury accidentally licks what he thinks is a "postage stamp" taken from Countess Valentina Allegro de Fontaine's purse and spends the rest of the day cowering under his desk, loudly declaring that he is a squirrel and he wants his nuts back. Oh, how they laughed and laughed in the S.H.I.E.L.D. canteen over that one! Why, Nick couldn't show his face for a week without everyone making chipmunk sounds behind his back!
