If you do not know Charlie Daniels’ 1979 hit “Devil Went Down To Georgia” then the third panel makes no freakin’ sense at all. Go listen to the song then come back and laugh! Holy Crap! What a week. As[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Praying to the porcelain-goddess was something I did way too much back in the late 70s. The places I’ve hung my head would make you wanna, well, toss your cookies. Bill Cosby said it best when talking about puking after[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
An old saying, who’s origin I’m not sure of, was “Ass, Gas or Grass. No one rides for free.” Thus today’s comic title. Jeff’s being a bit of an ass, and they need gas, but we’re not selling the grass! […]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is NOT what Ben Franklin had in mind when he invented the lightning rod, but I bet you top dollar if he had thought of it, he’d done it. I mean, come on, he stood in the rain waiting[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I had a few folks write in asking if I was getting rid of Poco… that would be like cutting off my supply of Mountain Dew. No, Poco is a main-stay character. Who else has a fire-breathing pet lizard? Poco[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yep, women never pack lightly. I chuckle every time I see the lamps. 🙂 But our intrepid fellows will come up with a solution on Friday for all this stuff. A nice tease… Billy Joel’s 1977 album “The Stranger” was[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Na-na, Hey-hey, Good-bye! Kiss the Firebird good-bye. Either Jeff’s getting a much cooler car (his Dad is rich, remember) or he’s S.O.L. We’ll find out once they get to San Diego. Doing these “easy” strips is really much harder than[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It’s raining a wardrobe! And perhaps a car part or two. The neighbors must be getting pissed about now. Actually I was originally going to do this from the neighbors window, but getting the neighbor, a window, and then our[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Love Robyn when she takes charge. Now the Chevy is a convertible… except to really be a true convertible it has to GO BACK with the roof over head. Hmmm, perhaps Robyn didn’t think that through. We’ll find out Friday! […]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
And the Road Trip has begun. Stand by for all types of destruction and mayhem as the gang takes over California and the splendors that state has to offer, especially LA and San Diego. And now I gotta draw a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Nitrous Oxide was used in World War II as a boost for fighter planes apparently, and what a blast that must have been… except for all the shooting and stuff… I loved drawing the second panel but it took forever[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I chose Deep Purple’s “Highway Star” mainly for the reference to racing a car to the speed of sound, but also for today’s installment when the “star” we all dread to see on the highway appears in your rear view[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
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[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Robyn has the right idea… This is for you Robyn fans. It isn’t always the woman with the biggest assets that wins these contests… a lot of it has to do with attitude. And you’ll find out in Monday’s comic[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Whoops! I was pretty sure footed most of the time when I tied a good drunk on, but every so often I had my mishaps. I never fell OUT of the car, but once I slid OFF a car. Running[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
When I wrote this comic, I thought to myself “Who would I cast as the doctor if this were 1977?” Some folks may remember George Carlin for his movie roles (Rufus in “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” and others), but[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Thank goodness Bud gets most of his stuff for free, as now the gang has enough cash to finally get to California. We’ll stroll into stately Bergstrom manner on Monday, as the foursome spends some time acclimating in the San[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
So, even though I’m not a big fan of this Led Zeppelin album, I think it makes a crackin’ good title. And at last we’re in California… home of swimming pools, movie stars, and hillbillies… Stand by for 1977 to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
“I wish they were all California girls…” Especially if they look like Mrs. Bergstrom. I’m with Bud, you don’t have to ask me twice when a hot blonde in a bikini asks me to join her by the pool (I’m[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A little something for the ladies… both those in the comic and those reading it. Pool boy was modeled after me back in 1977… wait, why are you laughing? Man… 🙂 In 1978 Joe Walsh released a 9 minute masterpiece[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
