1977 the Comic

Never been to New Orleans… and I would have TOTALLY never left had I gone there back in 1977. 24 hour bars… say no more.

Anyway, the man mentioned in frame one by Jeff would become New Orleans’ first black mayor and I thought I’d toss a nod to him. He passed away a while back, but the thought is still there.

Lorraine is showing why her nickname is Troubles in the 4th frame.

Nit picks by me: Hate Jeff’s head in frame 1 and love it in frame 4. God, I suck at hands sometimes and then I nail one and it makes me feel better. Still do not have Robyn down yet as she’s not consistent in her look yet.

More New Orleans next week. A surprise ending too!

PS: The song title was made famous by Arlo Guthrie but was written by Steve Goodman. And, having actually seen the train leave Kankakee, Illinois, I related to this song on many levels. Never been to New Orleans (“Nor-lins” as they say it down there) but know Illinois like the back of my hand. Joy. 🙂
