First off, it’s great to be back from my week off. I missed drawing our struggling quartet and it was fun to get back into the drawing routine.
Some “screen time” for Robyn and Jeff! Yay! And Bud is not being weird, remember he’s wearing Lorraine’s pants and they don’t fit all that well, so he’s just holding them up! I wanted to make reference to Buns of Steel, but that was an 80s thing… oh well.
Calling all Rush fans! Yes, I’ve used a Rush song title! It is from their 1975 album “Fly By Night” and this title is just perfect for today’s comic (for many obvious reasons). But dig this lyric from the song: “Behind the beauty, cracks appear. Once with heads held high. They sang out to the sky. Why do their shadows bow in fear?” Now isn’t that just dead on for today’s comic? Rocky will certainly bow in fear for sure.
The band gets a name! Stand-by for action on Thursday! 🙂
Now there was an Excellent Album! Fly by Night is my fav with 2112 a close second!
Yay, Rush! When I heard “The Trees” on WRXL back around ’79 or so, it changed my ideas of what Rock was capible of being… which, considering that ’79 was also the year I discovered Judas Priest, AC-DC, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, The Ramones, the B-52s and The Plasmatics, was saying something!
Yay Rush! I love 1977 and I love Rush. More Rush references please!
Attention All Planets Of the Solar Federation…………absolutley. Rush is my favorite band (religion) thanks for making a reference.Hemispheres,2112,Caress of Steel are my favorite albums (yes i said albums just goes to prove how old i am) ive always loved the epic stories. wish they would do another one
And I said it on dA Sunday: Buns of a Steel Trap!
Yet another Canadian referance. You’re doing me proud here man.
So, when are you gonna name-check a certain Uriah Heep song? 🙂
I like seeing the supporting cast more too! A story with the girls as the main characters would be cool for a change of pace someday.
Sorry your vacation was so frenetic. Lena and I discovered that we enjoy the second or third trip someplace WAY more because we’re not so crazed to see everything there is. One time we went to Disneyworld just to see the shows. We ignored the rides (except for a very few favorites) and took naps in the middle of the day. It was the best vacation EVER.
yay Rush 😀 I’m just getting into them at the moment, they have some really great songs!
That is one deadly bun trap 😛
