Ah, love is in the air in 1977! From the album cover (Kiss’ “Love Gun”) to the posters in the background in the second frame (Wonder Woman behind Bud and Frampton behind “the girl”), love is going to be a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Bud asks a girl out on a date and finds his car already full. Decisions, decisions… As far as the title goes, I was never a big “Three’s Company” fan. It’s funny that “back in the day” they had to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Friday’s comic re-done now that I’ve recovered from my Trojan attack. My butt will never feel the same again! :)It took only a bit to track down the virus and remove it, but then everything in my wireless network was[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Bud’s new girlfriend’s story arc continues in today’s strip. I’m going to run two storylines at the same time, one with Bud and Delilah, and the other Jeff vs. the Squirrel. Ah, the Jefferson Airplane’s “Somebody To Love” a great[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Bud and Delilah test the waters so to speak today. I never drove my car into a pond, but did drive it through a flooded viaduct. I made it through by the guy behind me did not. Sucker.
I had to slip this one in as the idea made me laugh. I don’t normally put a comic up on Thursdays, so bonus for you all! The exciting conclusion to Bud’s adventures into the aquatic wild is tomorrow! “I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
An exciting conclusion to Bud’s first date with Delilah. Naked, wet and going down jokes abounded yesterday, but I am not that kind of cartoonist (well, yet). One thing though, if ANYONE ever needs drawings of a 1969 Chevy[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Black Lights! Wow, haven’t had one of those since… well, 1977… Oh, those black, yellow, green and whitet posters we’d buy and then our parents wondered why we locked our bedroom doors… “Far out, man, I see it too!” I,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The struggle for Jeff’s roof begins today as the squirrel gets in the first punch, so to speak. The title is used by Invader Zim’s sidekick Gir when they first arrive on Earth to describe what he saw as they orbited[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
“God, I hate Thursdays… I try to make them nice, but they bite me in the ass every time. I literally gave myself ANOTHER freakin’ virus today as I didn’t look at what I was clicking on in my email.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Robyn strikes a ZEN pose as she becomes one with Mr. Bubble… As some of you may or may not know, I grew up in a house full of women as I had not one or two, but THREE older[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A little more fun with Jeff and the Squirrel. I have a nice ending coming up that may bring peace to this little battle. We’ll have to wait and see. I’m getting a ton of visitors from my ads placed[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The title is a big nod of the hat to dear old George Carlin… his humor inspired me years ago, and I’m sure bits of him show up in 1977 all the time without my knowing it… Going to miss[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Ah, the first comic published with Comic Press. Been a long weekend and I kinda rushed this one out, but things will settle down in a bit. A nice visit with the ladies of 1977 and why Lorraine is called[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Those crazy ladies only wanting us men for sex! We have minds too you know! 🙂 Today’s title is from the group Sweet and fits nearly perfectly with lyrics like: Love is like oxygen You get too much you get[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Son of a gun… Been using Manga Studio EX for over a year now and JUST today discovered the freakin’ marker tool for shading. What a dufus! So today’s comic was my first crack at using this new tool and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The “Twilight Zone” use to scare the heck out of me as a very young child in the early 60s. What a great show it was for its time. But then I’ve cross-pollinated themes here as Bud and Jeff are[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Ah, good ol’ Clutch Cargo with his pals Spinner and Paddlefoot. Spinner of course being his young ward and Paddlefoot his pet dog. The thing about Clutch Cargo cartoons was that human actors mouths were superimposed over a static drawing[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My two oldest boys were the right age to have seen and owned on video the Disney movie “Rescuers Down Under” and it was the original inspiration for this comic. But, using Google to verify I spelled the title correctly,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I read an interview of Charles Schulz where he talked about how a comic artist worked on creating elements of the strip that readers would remember and like (Linus’ blanket for example). Today, I think I have introduced one of those[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
