And the Road Trip has begun. Stand by for all types of destruction and mayhem as the gang takes over California and the splendors that state has to offer, especially LA and San Diego. And now I gotta draw a pool scene with nothing but bikini babes… poor me.
Albert Hammond wrote and sang a little pop tun in 1972 called “It Never Rains In Southern California” and it was played, like, non-stop for about a month. I learned to hate it. Hammond went on to become a producer and writer of hit songs for groups like Starship. Good thing as I learned to hate his voice. Leo Sayer had a a #1 hit in 1977 called “When I Need You” which was written by…. Albert Hammond. Even found a 1977 tie-in. Thank you YouTube.
A couple pit stops next week, then we hit the San Diego beaches for some summer fun… even though it’s turning Fall. Hey, whatever…
😉
Let’s hope it doesn’t hail now!
WET BIKINI CONTEST!!!
How often does that happen to a song? Too often! 🙁
Thanks for ‘splainin’ who that was!
I like the idea of “mayheim” – is that what’s likely to happen when they reach California: mayhem in Anaheim? Heh.
Also, liked the old Beatles tour reference in the first panel!
Albert Hammond? His father sent him money, as I understand things, but he spent the lot in no time flat on some bird he met in Berkley in a Social Science class.
Great rain in panel 3 there. Everyone’s hair seems…neat, for people who are driving a car with, y’know, no roof. Women love open top cars until they ride in ’em the first time. Then they tend to be cooler to the idea of driving topless.
Wait, that didn’t sound right…

Cool..those guys had a cell phone in the car to get Albert’s call. Oh wait, he was being sarcastic. haha
You can even make rain look good. Nice skills, Byron! 🙂
What model of graphics tablet do you use?
I’m with Robyn on this one: I’d rather travel on a convertible taking some rain on my head than in a sedan with hot sunny sky…
But you’re still crazy. CRAZY. 🙂
Have a nice weekend, Sir Wilkins!
I really think the one to blame here is Robyn…
Sorry to bother you again, but what is the usable area of your tablet? I’m trying to figure out what I should be looking at for my Annie-May-crazed cartoonin’ daughter, who just did an extra credit retelling of Brave New World from one character’s viewpoint and did it as a comic book. I’m so impressed with her inventiveness and her talent I could just about burst. Plus, for the first time ever, she finally took some advice and worked in pencil first rather than inking from the get-go.
It’s dead good. Really.
