As I view this now, I can tell that the headlines on the Lombardian newspaper Bud is reading is not very legible, so here it is: Headline: “Local Woman Dies On Cruise” Sub-Head: “Japan Destroyed” In the newspaper game, the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The concept of the “Bi-Cotton Rod” was a subject of mine for a speech class at ISU in 1976. We were suppose to “invent” a product and sell it to the class as part of our speech. I started off[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Typical 20 year old males… Bud has his bass amp, a few items of clothing and no food in the house. So what do they buy? Beer. 😀
Today’s strip introduces the old 69 Chevy. Actually, she was only 8 years old when I got her, but she a had a lot of miles on her and I drove the beast really hard. Actually had it up to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
“You can prick your finger, but don’t finger your…” George Carlin during his 7 Words bit. Peeing outside while your drunk is a challenge at best. You’re none too steady and been many a time when a shoe has been[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It was a tradition to watch Friday night TV and order a large, thick crust pizza with green peppers, pepperoni and sausage plus at least a 6-pack of beer. If I did that today, I’d not get up for a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
And now the pizza guy arrives… he’s a minor character who may or may not come back. But knew plenty of guys like him for sure… Lyle who? Yeah, the guy NEXT to Lynda Carter… oh, him… 🙂
I put in small things in most comics that at some point all you detailed orientated viewers will notice. I’m going to tell you today’s little insert: Bud is drinking a beer for breakfast, yet is questioning Jeff’s getting high. […]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
No, not Bruce Lee, but close enough. Had Internet “issues” with my new provider, Comcast, and don’t you just love it when you sit through about 30 different “Press 1 for English, Press 2 for Illegals,…” type automated options only[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Ah, little Annie! Every neighborhood has at least one annoying little kid… and her name is Annie. I’m beginning to creep back in the shading. Taking on three comics a week, I was not doing the shading step as it[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Okay, let’s get this party started! Enough of the background stuff, let’s rock! Oh, and Bud is NOT a morning person… you’ve been warned. 🙂
Jeff is so innocent sometimes… I love Bud’s expression as he hides “his shame.” Shit-Eating-Grins are my specialty it seems! 😀 We’ll see more of Debbie (how much more?) soon enough! Stay tuned!
What could be more serene than two country bullfrogs sitting at the edge of the pond reducing the mosquito population? Well, you’ll find out in today’s comic. I’ll probably get some crap for this, but I simply love the Three[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
More Beatles references! And yes, it IS MY BIRTHDAY! 🙂 So, get out the fireworks and celebrate my, er, Bud’s birthday!
This is part two to the country frogs comic of Monday, but I had to put in my birthday comic on the correct day! LOTS of little things in this entry, look closely at the first couple panels! Birthday School:[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This entry never got off the ground for me. I re-did the first frame like 3 times and I’m still not happy with it. Forgot the shading the first time around, and my first ending was nothing short of a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Oh yeah… the days of the munchies. I was famous for eating an entire package of Oreos after certain late night toking sessions. So much so, my roommate actually hid his Oreos as I would devour any in the apartment[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The ladies of 1977 move into Bud and Jeff’s neighborhood and we learn that life is ALWAYS about your point of view. In the day, I used my 200mm telephoto lens on my 35mm camera much in the way Jeff[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
