Welcome to Part 2 of my 2022 review! Make way for the sexy stuff that makes this comic fun to read and look at! (Hit the “prev” button above if you haven’t read Part 1 yet)
I push boundaries of my self-imposed PG-17 rating for the comic. You old-time readers know I refuse to draw porn simply because it is so readily available on the internet, so why should I waste my time competing in that arena? But, when I let the skin fly from time to time, I get a few nasty emails or comments on social media about how I’m either a dirty old man (I’m not) or I’m exploiting my female characters (um… only 50/50 on that one). If you have actually read the comic, you know that Robyn and Lorraine are in complete control of their sex lives, and they imposed very early on a “no sex” rule with Bud and Jeff when forming the band. I broke this rule just once in the “Hemp Island” story with Bud and Robyn, then I had Old Bud and Lorraine hook up, but that was 40 years after the adventures in 1977 took place. So I’ve stuck to my own rules. Unfortunately for Jeff, he’s never scored with either Robyn or Lorraine. Bass players rule!
So I’ve put poor ol’ Jeff in the center of these sexy drawings of Robyn and Lorraine from 2022. The bottom row are newly drawn images for the “Hemp Island” book that I will someday have printed. I stretched artistically a bit with the center image of the top row when I attempted to draw Lorraine and Robyn in an Anime style. I didn’t really pull it off as basically I just made their eyes much bigger. I’m going to try that again in 2023 now that I’ve watched a bit more Anime. On a side note, I dove into a bit of Hentai and WHOA! Talk about cartoon porn. Man!
“The Unknown Soldier” by the Doors is not a New Year’s Eve song, but the end chorus going “And, it’s all over, the war is over. It’s all over.” Backed up by an ever-growing cacophony of cheering crowds and bells tolling, it has that end-of-the-year feel to it. Regardless, if you agree or not, it’s the song I picked. ?
Happy New Year! and thank you for the 2 pages of highlights. You keep doing what you do best, you have a great comic and your art is great. I guess I am a dirty old man because I do subscribe to some comics that have sex and some that do not, and I do enjoy when things “slip” in your comic, but I enjoy your comic just the way it is, its sexy enough.
No matter what you do, someone’s going to complain about it, often simply because they don’t have the skill to do it and don’t think anyone else should make art if they can’t or more often today because they’ve been programmed to suck all the joy out of everyone’s life by finding something to hold up as a sacred battleflag of “do what we tell you to or we’ll call you a racist transphobe” or some such other nonsense….fuck ’em.
Like the song says “You can’t please everyone, so you got to please yourself”. If they don’t like it, nobody’s forcing anyoine to see it and the door’s that way…
Hard luck for Jeff, that.
Nice pictures it would be cool if Jeff could be Yellow Beard on of the best pirate movies with Cheech and Chong (they play a perverted Spanish inquisition ) and Monty Python with Buddet as his wife. When she visits him in prison she mentions his son. Yellow Beard asked is he a pirate, murderer, rapist, robber his wife says “He’s not so extroverted he’s a gardener.” Yellow Beard “A gardener”. Mean while Eric Ideal Character is granted a ship by Queen Ann though Lady Churchill I won’t give up more of the story but Lorraine and Robyn could have roles too. You know Roz from happy days she stared in the 1980 movie New Years evil as a sexy” new wave ” Dj on a TV phone show. Her husband unknown to her until almost too late out to kill her. He kills Roz’s friend, a nurse, two bar flys, and a biker when the police are about a arrest him he jumps of the building. His son drives his mother in a ambulance wearing a Bob Hope mask after killing the driver. Two of the bands featured in the movie are made in Japan singing water cooler and stranglers singing News Years evil. I think Roz uses too much make up and Diane Lane pulls off the red new wave dress better. But I like the fishnets and heels though I bare my legs with heels. Saw the movie Terror train with Jamie Lee Curtiss the killer turns out to be victim of a cruel joke. He works with a magician played by David Cooper field since it’s a costume party he is able to kill some of the pranksters. The most masterful the sexy assistant it’s only after the magician is murdered Jamie figures it out. Happy New Year hope you saw the Rose parade and game.
