Having grown up with older sisters, I learned very early in life to duck…
I am taking a bit of a leap here today and I’ll let the comments play out before I say anything else… except to say some of you readers have a strong since of ESP as I had this comic lined up and in Monday’s comic comments satyrblade referenced Uriah Heep and that leads to today’s comic title…
From 1973’s “The Magician’s Birthday” Uriah Heep had a minor hit with “Sweet Lorraine.” I had not heard it in years, so I picked it up on iTunes today and seems my 16 year old ears were more keen on the piercing synthesizer sliding up and down throughout the whole song. Today it was a bitch much. I love lead singer’s David Byron’s voice (not because of his last name either). My favorite song by Uriah Heep is “Stealin” from 1973 as well.
Oh, I brain-farted on Monday when I mentioned the band gets a name today… that’s Monday when they meet up with Rocky to get their first gig. Have a good-one folks. Oh, I’m still looking for subscribers too. We go back to three times a week in March (crap, that’s next week) but I still need to raise enough for the second Convention in North Carolina. So, bug some friends and have them sign up! Thanks!

PS: I just noticed that Bud has not been shown in his trademark baseball shirt since he chatted with God back on Jan. 19th! Must be sort of record I’d day.

Lorraine looks like a cross between Firestar and Phoenix when she makes her coffee command.
I love that in the commentary on today’s comic you wrote, “Today it was a bitch much.”
And it goes without saying: I enjoyed the comic, as always.
Totally Tony the Tiger.
And yes… the flames, Byron, the flames…
In my most humble of opinions, super heroes have super nipples…
But perhaps we can use something like a… coffeepot, to take closer look?
Screwdrivers in the morning, that is indeed the breakfast of champions.
I *heart* Robyn.
WOW BYRON bud’s line in the last panel. i wet my pants! haha good on ya!
I LOVE the shot of Lorraine
*laughs* Thanks, Byron! Well done.
Yeah, I’m with you on the high-pitched synth – I never really liked that element of the song. “Stealin'” and “Woman in Black” are my UH favorites by a large margin. Still, with a character named Lorraine, you can’t miss that reference.
Thanks! 🙂
Would it be too much to ask for a Lorraine’s “e-poster”? 😀
Heheheh!
Great drawing there!
I have to put up with this but i’m the oldest of three children, my litle sister can be right old… I won’t say.
Cool stuff dude 😀
I grew up with one brother and three male cousins who lived close enough that we sometimes weren’t completely sure who lived where. Later on in life they all blamed me for not informing them about PMS. The thing is I’ve always been aggressive, territorial, and irritable so the impression that they got from other women was that they were so much nicer to be around.
The poor suckers never knew what hit them. 🙂
I was either blessed or cursed in the hormonal dept. I’m not quite sure which.
On the plus side I did get through puberty in about two months and I’ve never really had much emotional fluctuation or such.
lorraine reminds me of my wife when we were younger although the “painters”werent always in so to speak i also have 3 daughters thats are 18 11 and 8. not only am i a musician but im a painter also and my favorite color is red coincidence or not ill let yall decide
I can’t remember where I even found this picture anymore but I love it. I actually came across your comic about a month ago from a random webcomic ad and I’m glad I did. It’s very entertaining.
