Okay, I’m a dick… actually my late sister-in-law referred to me as a prick, and she was correct.  I have my moments.  BTW, Carol and I got along great, she just knew my personality and called it what it was.

So, as I was doing this comic, I thought I should just apply my penciling “state-of-mind” to my inking process.  This comic did not seem hard (it wasn’t and drawing Lorraine of late has become a favorite thing of mine to do… duh…) so I skipped the penciling I’ve been doing and started up the inking mode.  First few strokes went great then I started in nit-picking as I want the inking to be “just right”.  I gotta loosen up.  I’ll get there.  In the meantime you’ll have to put up with an old fart artist who’s trying new things out.  I’ll try to keep it as consistent as possible.

Oh, for you Robyn fans, I will this weekend re-do Monday’s comic in color with a little special “extra” for those of us who want just a wee bit more.  And one more thing… come back Friday.  I’ll have another comic ready by then… yes, in color.

🙂

Ah, poor Gary. That’s what you get for mixing icing with sex.  And with Lorraine’s water balloons one could imagine just going “weeee!” and right on off the bed.  Hope  he had good insurance.  And what is Robyn doing with her right hand in the third panel?  Wang dang doodle indeed…

Ah, man, I love today’s comic title song.  Just a ton of fun. The moment I thought of this song title, the comic became just that more fun to do.  Most of us know Dave Edmunds from “I Hear You Knocking'” his #9 Billboard hit from 1970, which sneaks this 1980s song into the comic title list.

It was produced by Jeff Lynne too, which is another reason I like it.  Now, I know a number of you readers barf at the mention of his name or ELO, and whatever, but he also produced the Travelin’ Willburys album which I love just about every track on that album.  Even the Dylan tracks…
