A Sunday tradition that got started my Freshman year at Illinois State in 1975 was to get up on Sunday morning and finish up the left overs from the previous evening’s festivities! Cold pizza and warm beer kept the hair[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Jeff sarcastic? Nah… 🙂 Switch out today… the title is a group who had a hit in 1970 called “Venus.” And my Mom, God-bless her little soul, thought they were saying “I’m your penis, I’m your desire…” Okay, I was[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today’s comic is SOOO me in 1977. If you enjoy the 70s portions of this comic, you can thank my drinking habit from that era for spawning ideas like today. Um, oh, Sorrento’s Pizza in Lombard, Illinois was to die[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Okay, now this is my first attempt at the new coloring technique and it was not too bad to do, but I’ve got some more learnin’ to do! I’m gonna do this size format in color Monday thru Thursday. Sundays[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Happy 4/20! 🙂 Google it if you’re not “hip” to what it means… Today starts a 5-day update schedule. Normally I would start this on Sunday with the larger format comic, but given the punchline, it had to go up[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The Polaroid SX-70 made the 70s even more wild and crazy as “swinging” folks would exchange fun little photos of each other. Today we just text these to our friends. I haven’t done a full-on boob joke in a while[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
OH, Lynda Carter was my favorite fantasy & poster in 1977. I had this HUGE poster of her as Wonder Woman… like 4×5 feet… took up a whole wall practically. It was the conversation piece of my apartment for a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
And it’s just that easy to scare the you-know-what out of little kids. Try it, you’ll be the hit of the mall! 🙂 1977 featured the debut album from the Talking Heads and today’s song title got a lot of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Oh, I bet you didn’t see that coming… I’m a sneaky little shit sometimes! 🙂 We’re back to the future for a moment or two here, then back to the 1977 story. I’m also seeing if you all are paying[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
One more time, with gusto… It was…Okay, one more than back to the 1977 time line. My kids ask me why I acted the way I did back in the day and my usual reply is “It was the 70s.”[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
And now back to 1977… no technology allowed, please. Bud’s daughter is school age, say a senior in high school around 18 or 19. So we’re hinting at what happens with Bud and Lily. All we know is they meet[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This answers Bud’s daughter’s question if he’d “ever seen Grandma Peterson naked?” And, well, that’s a yes. I chose “Mother” by Pink Floyd from “The Wall” not only because of the obvious title, but because in the song the “mother”[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I love Jeff… “What? Oh!” I laugh my ass off everytime! Our favorite stoner indeed… The Cars 1978 self titled album was a real kicker. I use to play “Good Times Roll” in the last bar band I played in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
And with that, the shower brush is put away… well, for a while at least. Sorry for the delay, but that happens. I do not keep a buffer of any sorts as I like being able to react to reader’s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Okay, every one out there who played bass in bands in the late 70s AND did not find out what a “rubber” was until their FRESHMAN year in college, raise your hands… Okay, just me, but it’s the truth. In[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The pisser of this comic was originally Bud was to have shot a nail through a hat Chet would have been wearing, but it seems nail guns didn’t come around until the 1990s or so. At least I couldn’t find[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Thanks to the best readers in the webcomic world, I was able to rewrite my original comic of Chet getting shot by a nail gun and turned it into this. I couldn’t find any good sources of nail guns in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
How is it some people just seem to know every damn thing? My “Chet” was one of those folks and the really irritating part was he did know everything. What class in high school did I sleep through that these[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The belt sander getting away from the operator and running down the floor or hallway has been done many a time for sure… and like a pie to the face, I laugh every time I see it, but I wanted[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I wrote three versions of this comic before deciding on this version. Bud’s expression and little dance in the final frame makes it for me. The other versions were essentially following the guitar from manufacturing to several owners then to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
