“Never rub another man’s rhubarb!” or “Dont’ get cocky, kid!” Either way, never laugh in the face of your enemy or you may get kicked in the butt. This comic also received the “re-do” treatment. I’m fussing over the ending[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Let’s try this again… Yes, to answer the questions I know everyone is going to ask, I just wiped out any and all memories of Bud’s transformations for his friends here on forward. No one will remember but him (and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is the 301st comic for 1977 so I decided to make fun of the film “300” and the famous speech about “tonight we dine in hell” and have just one more comic with our hot Devil and her sidekick[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
(Friday’s comic updated really late, you may want to click back and see the completed version) The real moral of the story…. be REALLY careful what you ask your parents, you may NOT want to know the whole story. I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I did this one in B&W to drive home the “…something completely different…” part. I always like to preface that I’m *not* converting to this style, but it is a nice break for me. Though I found it took me[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Okay, not many pains are worse than gettin’ your nuts in a bunch… Trivia: I worked Super Trouper arc spotlights back in my lighting crew days of the late ’70s. Those things are beasts, especially the older ones like I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
People ask me if Lorraine can be that stupid. In my opinion Lorraine is far from stupid, she’s just grossly uninformed sometimes. She is from Iowa after all… New looks today. Robyn finally gets an overhaul that’s been long over[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It’s my Birthday Week (February 5th for those new to the game), so let’s start it off with a little background on our favorite Irish drummer, Robyn McKenna. I was put under the table by more than one Irish chick[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Another good title for today would have been “Run Like Hell” from Floyd, but I’ve been a little Floyd heavy lately, so I went with the great catch phrases from the two greatest baseball announcers ever… Jack Brickhouse and Harry[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Happy Birthday to me… Oh, yeah, bolt on the handle bars to the headboard and go for a RIDE! Been an interesting week, but here’s a good story for once! Wednesday had the makings of being a rotten day. Woke[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Chet seems to be a swinger of sorts these days. Who knew nerds had it in them? Hmmm…. Oh, man, do I remember Quadraphonic as a miserable failure of an audio format. It was even worse then the Beta vs.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
You can’t blame Jeff, she did ask what he was thinking… Ray Charles is not the first thing I think of when I want to rock and roll, but one cannot ignore his sheer talent and his influences on all[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hey, I couldn’t resist this Kiss reference… also, about as full frontal as 1977 is gonna get for the time being. I’ve been wanting to get away from boob jokes, but I had a few left in my system and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I will try most anything once… Jeff is becoming quite the cook it would seem. Never dropped Acid (except for the kind that comes in batteries and eats up your jeans) as my mind is already on full-tilt crazy and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Don’t ask why they did this, they just did. Did you ever think something sounded good at first but then when you actually ate/drank it you about puked? Seagram’s and 7-Up are great together… replace the 7-Up with Mountain Dew[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Alrighty then…. after doing major work this week on client’s sites and putting out a few personal fires, last night just got clogged up with all types of stuff. So, here’s the pencil sketch of today’s comic. Inks and coloring[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
And what a wonderful way to come back… I was reminded by my editor that this works two ways as Jeff’s parents made their millions off the Bi-Cotton Rod. I hadn’t even thought of that angle! I like this strip[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Let it snow, man! It’s been almost two years since we’ve seen the powdery stuff here in 1977 and with this being Chicagoland, you gotta have some snow now and then. I am not trying to be too logical in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
In 1977, Mike Olson, owner & manufacturer of Gnu Snowboards, made his first snowboard in shop class. You’re welcome Shaun White. While the rest of us were making ashtrays or dust pans, Mr. Olson was saying “I’m gonna make a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It must have been very cold when David went after Goliath which would explain the shrinky-dink of the statue. Lorraine decided to “enhance” David long before spam email promised *me* a bigger Mr. Happy… My only question is how do[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
