I’m interrupting Lorraine’s work story just for a bit… she returns on Monday!
A very good friend of mine and fellow webcomic creator Antoine Gagnon has been a bit under the weather of late and also gone through a few stressful things in life this year, so I wanted to do something to cheer him up. Also, it’s his birthday next week, so I’ve included his two characters, Billy and Spike, from his webcomic “The Drunken Fools”. Antoine is one of two Canadians I’ve become good friends with over the past year or so, and no matter what they say about Canadians, these guys are cool. Antoine is also French Canadian and tons of fun to be around, plus he swears like a, well, drunken sailor and that’s tops in my book. He was at C2E2 Comic Con in April and we spent a lot of time together as he saw the sites of Chicago. He popped for one top-notch steak dinner too, so anyone who offers me free food is a friend for life. Your tough luck, Antoine! So, click here to go visit his website and say hello from 1977 the Comic! He’ll probably swear at you… he’s French…

Ah, a little early ZZ Top for your Friday. This one rocks you just right, and Billy Gibbons is one helluva guitarist. This one is also kinda rare in that both Dusty Hill and Gibbons share the lead vocals. Just a fun song and fits Antoine and I perfectly (well, when I was 20).

the colours, man! the colours!
Friend for life for buying you a meal? Cool, next time I come to Chicago, I’ll buy the burgers at the Billy Goat Tavern. (You didn’t say it had to be steak)
We stopped at Billy Goat last time and Byron and I already had our lunch. Next year, it’s a meal stop for sure!!
My favorite ZZ Top song! YAY! Thanks. 🙂
GAHHHH! I know who that is! ;0)
Holy hell that’s great! Nice work Byron!!
Great job Byron. Antoine is a great guy, and we all hope he feels better soon.
They might as well just hand over the winnings to Bill and Spike before it even starts, we’ve seen their drinking abilities and they got this competition in the bag.
tks for the wishes Todd,
and yeah, odds are 100000000000 to 1 here
Yeah, great ZZ Top song – from back when they were more about the music & less about the shtick (altho they still jam. I will admit,,,)
I can’t vouch for Canadian beer drinking abilities, but back in my own BD&HR daze, we had an Aussie bud who would anchor our drinking teams for the beer drinking contests back when bars used to do that. Even if we were a fair amount behind, he’d power us into the lead, & if we were in the lead already, he’d smoke the competition. All of 5′ 6″ & about a buck 30, but man could he slam down the brew!
OSTI DE TABARNACK DE CALISSE!!!
Byron I remember you mentioned something about using my characters a while ago, and of course, my drunken mind forgot about it.
This is frikking awesome! I love it! Thanks man, I’m glad the Fools are there to kick Bud’s ass!!!!!!!!!!!! As long as they don’t end in a “toking” contest…. 😛
Thanks man for the wishes! I really appreciated.
oooh, what’s that? Pills? Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Uh-oh. He may have a point there. 🙂
Canadians?!!
BEWARE OF THE MAPLE SYRUP BALLOONS!
Two of the BEST Canadians around there eh, Byron? Take off ya hoser. 😀 But a great way to bring in the Canadians to 1977 🙂
Hahaha… the drunken fool was here! 🙂
