Man, the old fart cartoonist can’t keep the days straight in this weird “Monday came on a Tuesday” week. Also, day off my ass… I’m having to cram 5 days of work into 4 days. Bullshit on holidays, man. So, here’s Wednesday’s comic on this week’s Wednesday. If you don’t follow, just go light a joint… then it won’t matter.
Ah, crabby customers who get mad over one “little” mistake like the wrong hair color. Then, you get fired after a customer yells at you. Yes, Lorraine is getting ready to cry in the last panel. Those who make our lead singer cry shall pay in due time. I’m all about revenge, have you noticed?
🙂
Anyway, I’ll try and have the follow up on Friday, the real Friday. If not, it’ll pop up Saturday. Sorry about the confusion!
Three Dog Night. Hate ’em, Love ’em, either way you cannot ignore the amount of Top 40 singles they cranked out in their career. From 1969 to 1971, there wasn’t a month go by where a TDN single didn’t get released it seemed like. I was turned on to TDN by my middle sister who had all their albums (and somehow they ended up in my record bin one day… hmmm…) Also, having nothing but AM radio to listen to, how could I *not* like some of their music? My favorite is “Out In The Country” which is a super mellow song, but reminds me of my days on the farm. I shall return there someday soon… land is cheap again these days.

Eek! The toon isn’t showing up on the page! (It shows up fine in a separate tab when I click on View Image though).
Must point out that even though Three Dog Night had the hit of it, it’s actually a Randy Newman song 🙂
You win the prize! THE only comment today… That’s what I get for updating on a Thursday. Damn brain…
😛
Remember, you’re talking to a guy who lived music through an AM radio and in 1971 we didn’t know Randy Newman yet… By 1977, Newman was one on my turntable a lot. I just did his “Short People” and his work on Toy Story as a composer is pretty damn cool!
LOL! And the image is properly on the page now 🙂
I have to admit that wild horses and projectile weapons couldn’t get me to ever befoul my eyes by watching Toy Story, but I’m very glad that Newman has won awards for the music. Awesome composer. Always was, always will be!
Correction: in Italian, that would be stronzA, since Italian nouns and adjectives have a gender. Aaand…she wouldn’t use the word just like that, she’d use “Brutta stronza”, nobody uses the word alone to start a sentence.
Ah, my editor was wondering about that very thing. She is helping me with the Italian words/expressions and she did mention that very thing.
I shall update the comic when I get a chance! Suggestions/corrections are always welcome!
🙂
Yep, Paisano-in-law has confirmed this 🙂
You’re welcome. Also: “sfaticato” becomes “sfaticata” for the very same reason.
I’m not always swift… but I did fix the dialog as you suggested!
Hey… I’m from the 70s… what can I say?
Well, I’ve never dyed hair for a living, but I have worked as a caricature artist and I’ll just say this: some people take EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING, the wrong way.
All you can do is try to be pleasant and imagine yourself in a faraway happy land…and hope your hands don’t subconsciously go “Orlac” and murder the crabby customer!
