Raining like crazy in the Chicago area, which for us folks deep in the suburbs snuggled amongst the farms, this is a good thing as the crops will get a good start. Also, it washed off all the winter residue[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
1977Comics
The title says it all… in binary. Google it… 😀 My very first computer was a Radio Shack Model III, an all-in-one model that featured DUAL floppy drives, 64K RAM and a 64-character display in lovely green. It cost me[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It’s Wednesday and I’m already tired. This damn cold won’t go away (like two weeks now) and it just lingers. Nice. Anway, today’s comic was to test myself at doing a comic with no dialog and working on expressions and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
As a self-employed person, I have used what legal tools I have to pay as little tax as possible to our “fine” government. I have never thought they used the money properly, so why give it to them? I also[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Our friend the Diptera, or common house fly, enjoys the benefits of 4/21, the day after 4/20 in today’s 1977 romp that takes a bit of turn from the normal Bud/Jeff routines. Here’s a bit of 4/20 trivia I wasn’t[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Been working my butt off on websites and getting new Flash galleries completed. Tons of work, especially when it comes to rendering videos for Flash. The supplied Flash 8 video encoder is taking like over an hour for small videos[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Bud finds out what it’s like to have a sister pose for a centerfold and the flak that comes with it. I have three older sisters and never really thought about it, but obviously there are brothers (and sisters) of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’m a HUGE Sweet fan… so I had to drop a title in by them for sure… Bud’s in for an interesting surprise at his local pub. Today’s comic isn’t all I wanted it to be. I don’t laugh at[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Brenda comes up with a creative way to cheer up Bud… and no I’m not being weird or anything! Humpin’ my butt off and still making the comic deadlines. Now I know the meaning of juggling tasks! I’m not use[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Story-time! In 1966, my family spent the summer in San Jose, California as my Dad took some Masters Degree course work or something. Anyway, being 9 years old and living in a 2 bedroom apartment with 6 people, I spent[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today’s comic is based on a semi-true story from my college days. (Duh, aren’t they all?) Here’s the back story: I was driving home, slightly loaded, and it was snowing like hell. Now, my old ’69 Chevy Caprice had posi-traction;[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
 Today strip is to remind everyone that the comic does actually take place in 1977 as I reference a rather big story from the summer of ’77. The title is a little nod to those anime nuts who love Dragon[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My attempt at wishing mothers everywhere a happy day. And if I was ever in trouble (and when wasn’t I?), it would be my Mom that got the call. My Mom passed away 22 years ago and I like to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
True story. This is why I started this comic; to tell my “vast” stories of my college days. Seems I was quite the little trouble-maker in my own little fashion. Seems this Illinois State Trooper was having a bad day[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
One of my many memories from the 70s was eating pizza on the hood of my best friend’s Skylark outside this greasy pizza joint. The pizzeria at the time was kinda dark, scuzzy and not very inviting, so we ordered[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today’s comic gets the band rehearsing and allows me to “nod my hat” to Chuck Jones. In 1943, Jones directed a Warner Bros. Bugs Bunny cartoon called “Super Rabbit” wherein Bugs obtains Superman like powers from a fortified carrot. After[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Bud comes up with a creative way to get around a bar manager who’s a chauvinistic creep. Well, perhaps I did… There were always these “scary” manager types at the bars I played at. They’d greet you at the door[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Long Weekend! At least for us USA folks… I need a break and this is turning into a 4-day weekend for me as I’m going to do as little as possible today and try to relax. Big race Sunday… Coca[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
