The McGrew Brothers (Dirty Fleagle and Dirty Drew) were fighters from Onliu.[1]
History[]
They once served as bodyguards for Cerebus during his time in Iest.[2] Later, they worked with the Secret Sacred Wars Roach and Countess Michelle Detin.[3]
Nature[]
They were moderately skilled fighters, but no match for Cerebus.
Dirty Drew has an unusual amount of animal magnetism, as evidenced by his various romantic encounters.[4][5]

Dave Sim on the McGrew Brothers[]
- Kim Thompson: Are the Fleagle Brothers modeled on anyone in particular?...
- Dave: They were modeled on Yosemite Sam, but also on Gene Day and his brother Dan, since they actually look like that. Gene Day had dark hair down to the middle of his back and Dan has blonde hair down to the middle of his back, they were brothers, and I thought "That's a combination that you can't let go by." On one hand they both look like brothers but the blond hair and the dark hair tend to throw you off. When I told Gene I was doing him as Yosemite Sam, he said, "oh, boy -- Mah hero."[6]
