Nowadays, if you really want to blend in you need to fly that freak flag. But if you leave it sealed in the original packaging you’ll get more for it on ebay! Myself, I’m sticking to the white flag and hoping nobody notices.
Panel 1 with “Too Shy to Let My Freak Flag Fly” would be a great t-shirt! …and the rest of the comic has about 10 possible “band names” in it. Good Monday morning chuckle!!! 😀

10: Freak Quilt
Are you saying that you manage to keep your freak flag tightly furled in public, and just go bananas in the comic strip? I have my doubts. Those sparkler nunchucks have to peek out once in a while.
Love this one! I posted it on Facebook with the following:
Cameo flag at work.
Funkadelic handkerchief with family and some friends.
And Freak flag with… well, you know who you are.
TRUE STORY TIME: While I write this (20/Mar/2017) there’s a guy in Madison (MMHI; google it) who is so attractive (face) and so appealing (below the waist) that women/men can’t keep their hands off him. Problem is, he wants to be alone more than anything else. So he tattooed a swastika across his entire face. Like chin to forehead. And he doesn’t carry neo-nazi beliefs! That poor, confused dudebro……..
I don’t know why I felt that story was relevant, but I felt the need to share the extremes that people carry IRL to feel right. I don’t endorse his actions, but I respect his reasons for taking them. Poor guy isn’t very smart…
I have a geek flag but I wear it under my clothes. It bursts out when random comic or movie trivia is needed and then I have to stuff it back in. Omega Red’s tentacles are made out of slightly weaker metal than Adamantium called carbonadium and it’s cheaper and malleable… uh. I mean interest rates went up a quarter of a point. That’s crazy right?
I fly mine freely several times a year at PAX. That helps me get it out of my system so I it’s easier to keep it furled when appropriate. I also have multiple “freak state” flags – one for anime, one for RPS, one for FPS, etc. That helps me assimilate into the nearby freak population no matter what their particular freakiness. 😉

It’s quite a tongue-twister too.

“freak flag” sounds like an item from the Kingdom of Loathing.
Why is your freak flag still in the package? You should have been flying it a half-mast when Rick James passed away.

Guy needs an image manager and a psychiatrist.
Laser the Tattoo, go full fedora, horn rimmed glasses, neck-beard and wear shapeless brown trench coats.
Wouldn’t that get him even more attention? He needs to practice his resting bitch face.

Don’t try to blend in – that makes you stand out!
Be edgy, and get a tattoo with a misspelled quote.
Show how unique you are by following a trend – and remember that gluten is bad for some reason!

Most doctors would prescribe getting a hobby that ENCOURAGES letting your freak flag fly.
