This is dedicated to all the women I dated through the years (and the one I eventually married) who had to come into a “guy’s” bathroom that was not only really disgusting, but lacking in proper amounts of toilet paper. Also to my sisters and mom for pretty much the same reason… You’ve never felt wrath like that of a woman who needs just a couple sheets to wrap things up. You’ve been warned.
1977’s “Running On Empty” by Jackson Browne was an album that featured traditional live recordings plus recordings produced in hotel rooms and on the tour bus. But unlike other live albums of the day that were filled with lack-luster versions of a group’s biggest hits, this album was all new material. What a concept!
(cue Twilight Zone theme)
I dialed up “Running on Empty” on the iPod at work this morning – hadn’t heard it in a while and felt it fit my mood and the work I was doing. (One nice thing about working the overnight is no one else is there to complain about my music…or my singing!)
Anyway…I found this LP in a stack I bought at a garage sale when I was in my mid-teens – I’ve loved it since the first time I heard it.
“Non-musical differences”. Heh.
man, I dunno how you come up with song titles that match your comic. That would take me forever!
RE: dgriff13 – Sometimes they just come to me as I write the script… other times I have to search my iTunes library or Google top 70s songs to find a title. Most of them I remember, but all the little details I get off the web. Now this album I knew from memory as it was a big seller and a good friend of mine played it all the time in his van. I also was a DJ for a while and song trivia stuff just kinda sticks with me too.
Kinda like sports facts for those into sports… I just know song titles and album trivia.
well, because i am an anal retentive engineer and part time jerk, i feel it necessary to point out that in the strip “forever in blue jeans” lorraine claimed she hadn’t worn panties since high school, yet here she is in panel 1 with a lovely thong down around her shapely calves. i don’t know if you should be happy that we pay this close attention to your strip or annoyed that some of us are such picky little shits 😉
btw, as a fellow traveler from the 70’s… freaking love your strip man…
RE: heywood – LOL! I love the term “picky little shits” and you have made my morning already!
I am actually both surprised and delighted that readers pay that much attention. I could slip this by with the excuse she’s wearing her bikini bottoms, but she is not wearing a bikini top, so that doesn’t hold up too well… Do note that Robyn has no underwear, just her jeans, so that is “canon” to earlier strips.
I thank you for keeping me on my toes… and I’m glad you’re along for the ride!
🙂
nice! good too see you puttin stuff out byron! you could also say that raine wears panties to sleep, but not out and about, so in the morning she would be wearing some still ;D
