FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS VOLUME TWO STANDARD COLOR EDITIONFRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS was a long running comic strip, primarily remembered for its continuing storyline involving a group of teenagers. The stories were set in the peaceful small town of Shadyside where Freckles McGoosey and his various friends lived. Freckles may appear at first blush to be yet another redheaded teenage humor protagonist. His comic strip actually predates other red headed characters Hap Hazard, Henry Brewster and that Andrews kid.
