Okay, now who suggested a Wet Bikini Contest (RickTheStick)? And who suggested that Lorraine’s ample bosom would get them out of the ticket (ferabreu)? Well, you’re both wrong, but on the right path! I’m not THAT easy.
But, I do get to draw wet t-shirt boobies for Friday. I may be late as my wrist may get tired… 🙂
Also, this is one of those comics where drawing it at 600DPI and then shrinking it to 72DPI for the web is a real eye opener as I can’t read the damn billboard as well now. It may be my aging eyes, but it looked a lot better in Hi-Res… wait for the book version!
Subscribers go take a look at the NEWLY updated Subscriber Area. New desktops and the weekly comic starts in October! If you haven’t Subscribed, you may want to as extra comics are coming your way now!
🙂
Discussion (22) ¬
God a bless a woman who’s willing to get wet for the cause! o.O
Yes, and Lorraine is that kind of person… But there’s a slight twist to this on Friday, and I know you’ll be here checking it out! (As will everyone else…)
🙂
Must be old age ;), as it is very easy to read what the billboard says 😛
Yeah, it’s old age… as I have to use my bi-focals to really read it. Ugh…
Sending you a tube of Ben Gay so you can make it through Fridays strip. (ITS FOR YOUR HAND!!!!)
And I have to wear a wrist support sometimes to keep carpal tunnel from getting worse, so I have that standing by too…

Shades of “Trains, Planes and Automobiles” a movie that contains my absolute favourite driving scenes and what has to be the best conversation between a State Trooper and a Driver ever.
Cop: “Do you know how fast you were going?”
John Candy: “No sir. Our speedometer has melted.”
For those not in the know: Byron can draw neckties. The State Trooper has his tucked into his shirt so that it doesn’t dangle invitingly when he leans over the “perps”.
I’ve always wondered why they make soldiers, cops and other servicepersons wear ties that only pose a danger unless they are tucked into a shirt, rendering the effect ugly and surely countering any sense of style the tie was intended to convey. You’d think the uniform code would be redesigned to come up with something better.
Isn’t it one of those “clip-on” ties? Or with an elastic band?
They’re standard gear for people who could get strangled during work.
I haven’t seen those for a while now…
Well, I can draw State Trooper neckties because I’ve SEEN a ton of them. I have always wondered why they wore ties too… those damn things are “this close” to being a noose. I got a tie stuck in a film projector once as it “rewound” the film. Big-ass projector too and it nearly choked me a good one. THAT was the last time I wore a tie. IF I do wear one, I get it off my neck as soon as I can.
BTW, that’s the best line in that movie…
Point of information: If the team are driving to California, shouldn’t that sunset in panel one be in front of them?
Steve the pedant.
I will give my usual response to comments like your… it is from the lyrics of the theme to Mystery Science Theater 3000:
If you’re wondering how he eats and breathes
And other science facts (la la la),
Then repeat to yourself,
“It’s just a show, I should really just relax…”
I worry over if I got the angle on Robyn or Lorraine’s boobs right and YOU worry about where the sun should be? Hmmm…
😉
Well, it’s just that if the sun is in the right place, they are going the wrong way is all. Also: If the sun were in front of them, the features you spensd so much time -ob-s-e-s-s-i-n-g—o-v-e-r- perfecting would be more properly lit without the need for an invisible key light.
But what do I know? I’m not the artist in my family. I’m the bloke wot cuts the grass and sticks ‘is ‘and down the wastepipe to clean out whatever’s blockin’ the bog.
I forgot to compliment you for that scene of the car jumping on yesterday’s strip. It reminded me of that chasing scene from “Bullit”…and also brought back memories from “Starsky and Hutch” and “The Dukes of Hazzard”…hah.
Hey, I see a new “subscribers-only” wallpaper coming our way, don’t ya? 😀
You read my mind sir! Stop that! 🙂
Yeah, I’ve sketched out a high angle shot of the Chevy coming over the hill with our gang hanging on for dear life in the car. Drawing their hair back blowing in the wind gives me real fits, so I’m working on that (albeit slowly).
The other version I sketched out was from the windshield view of the gang in the car and background looks like a Shuttle launch… as if the car went straight up. Silly but cool looking.
🙂
Man…
I love cars and chasing scenes, but…this time, I was thinking about a wallpaper based on the wet tee contest… 😀
HEHEHEHEH!
LOL
Oh, man! I can’t wait until the wet t-shirt contest! You know exactly how to keep us in suspense. 🙂
Myself as well, as now I have to draw it… Researching the “subject” has been fun!
😉
so.. the dudes will spend the wet t-shirt winnings on that 50¢ beer… brilliant!
Now, someone finally got smart and knows what I’d be doing at a bar… drink until last call! True story: one night our band OWED the bar money for all the drinks we had. We were not smart businessmen…
🙂
I do all my art much bigger than the comic, but I save all my text to do electronically specifically to avoid those situations.
Research… hmm… I think the HOLE gang may need to hang out at Hooters for a few weeks…
This looks like a promising situation.
