“I wish they were all California girls…” Especially if they look like Mrs. Bergstrom. I’m with Bud, you don’t have to ask me twice when a hot blonde in a bikini asks me to join her by the pool (I’m still waiting…). Oh, 1965 was a great year for rock music, but the king of all singles was the Beach Boys’ “California Girls” Going through many, many different recording sessions and editing, the final version ended up being the most expensive single ever released at that time. They made their money back, by the way.
Where are Lorraine and Robyn? Hmmm… damn long bathroom break.

Love the Zing!!! Can really feel the movement.
I am an addict to Road Runner cartoons and how many times did Wil E Coyote dash out of screen leaving stuff like that behind? Tons, and it was funny every time. I miss Chuck Jones, man…
Ha! In my case, it would be “California Dreamin’ “!
Everytime a hot blonde in a bikini invites me in a pool, I always wake up….
Welcome to the party, pal! 🙂
I’m surprised he didn’t just jump off the ledge!
Well, you gotta change into a swimsuit! Unless there’s a Bat-Pole handy (how did they change their clothes on the way down those damn things?)
NO Bat-Pole jokes… I see them coming already… 😉
Thats it….. everytime I exit a room at speed, im going to say “Zing” 😀
Mrs Bergstrom doesnt look bad in a bikini does she 🙂
I think it would add a great deal to life if we all simply said “Zing!” when we had to leave a room. None of this “I gotta leave… or “My mom’s calling…. or “I gotta pee, man… Just ZING! “Oh, he had to leave, no problem.” Let’s start a new fad and see how far we get with it.
🙂
Isn’t there a MR. Bergstrom?
You meet him on Friday with Robyn and Lorraine. Chaos ensues.
🙂
MIIILLLLLLLFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!
*roar* 🙂
Awesome! He’s fast enough that he probably should have been present in panel 2…
Not sure that made sense to me even. Oh well.
It made sense to me… and that should scare you! 🙂
It’s a great far out comic, but we are really getting spanked over at TopWebComics, at a rank of 532 (now at 495 due to MY single vote). Any’all that’r fans, get over to http://topwebcomics.com, do a search for 1977 and vote for this comic. Ahem, “B”, why not put up a button to your own comic over there? I much prefer seeing your comic in a ranking that meant something “back in the day”, like 289, 302, 318, 327, 340…see where I’m going with this?
Okay, on second thought, I just did a push over at Facebook and on Twitter. I’ll do it for this week and see what happens. If we break into the Top 100, I’ll do a special comic. How’s that for motivation?
Go vote! 🙂
(We people from the 70s are also known for changing our minds like every 10 seconds… depends when the drugs wore off…)
Moreover, if MY SINGLE vote can move 1977 almost 40 places, think of what 140 Facebook friends could do?
I have similar quandaries with many of the comics that I vote from, you’re not alone. If the fans would just get out and vote…it’s no more than 3 clicks away!
First, cool handle of IronB12S… 🙂
There are Vote buttons on the bottom of the home page, but I have never really stressed them as I am not convinced they really do that much for bringing in new traffic. That’s just my opinion and it’s based on my stats. Also, to get into the Top 100 over there, one needs a lot of votes and I’d rather my readers (who are already here) enjoy reading and commenting on the comic.
I did push folks to vote for a competition that 1977 was in a couple months back and we won first place, which earned me another interview (and some guest hosting spots) on TGT Webcomics podcast. So, when 1977’s readers are motivated, then they step up.
It’s really ME you have to motivate, as I’m not that hung up on 1977’s “rank” on those sites. As you know, I’m from the 70s and I have a “whatever” attitude toward competition and awards and such. That’s just me.
But, that said, by clicking on those buttons on the home page, you do move the comic up in that site’s ranking and potentially bring in new readers. Some you have to “confirm” your vote and it takes a couple more clicks, so it’s not too bad. So, it’s a free world… click away if you’re so motivated.
And last of all, THANK YOU for being a reader and being motivated to vote for the comic. I do appreciate it very much, despite my 70s laid-back attitude.
good minds think alike Byron! I also got to see the pencil sketch of this one, *wink* Thanks for the shout-out.
No problem… I try to support other webcomics best I can.
And yes, great minds do think alike… if only we had great minds… (well, one of us at least)
😉
That was perfect! You and Dawn are nailing it this week. 😀
Thanks! Kinda weird how things like that work out with Dawn and I. Totally random…
Man! Mrs B looks really hot, and the older women always got to me when I was younger.
Of course now the “older women” are younger than me, but hey, that’s life! 😀
Memories of older women, OK …Zing!!!
😉
!
I have some really fond memories of some older ladies back in my day (they’re probably dead now… just kidding…). I forget which comedienne tells this joke, but she stated she likes younger men in bed because “they don’t know what they’re doing, but they can do it all night!” I had to laugh on that one for sure!
I know what you mean, old to me back then was “nearly 30.” Today, I could be a 30 year old’s father. Ugh. Time.
🙂
aint nothing like a nice lookin’ older woman!
Mrs Bergstrom looks hot in a white bikini but it reveals a lot when wet and devil to launder. Still I know where Jeff (shame he can’t turn into Jeffra the hot blond) gets his blond hair from. Bud she’s someones mother and she’s just a little too mature for you. As Buddet you wear bikinis and learn the secrets of woman hood from this beauty queen. Maybe it will like earth girls are easy space creatures crash into pool after starring at pink bikini. Buddet or Jeffra could wear one I wear one pieces myself with polka dots. Remember seeing the movie and even the song by Julie Brown earth girls are easy. “His touch was a love drug kiss me here kiss me there he still looked disgusting but I didn’t care.” Love Julie Brown she is so cute. Ah romance in LA and outer space gotta love it Gina Davis gets carried off into space in a retro flash Gordon space ship with Jeff Goldbloom. Then again there’s always the beach wonder if the waters cold do killer whale chase people out the water they do it British Columbia Canada yeah whales. Are they are jellyfish or sharks “I know they are no shark in trout stream”from bugs bunny Damned Hare. Maybe Humbolbt squid they call them sea devils in Baja California Mexico bordering California USA but they come out at night so the water is safe. At least they aren’t millions of dead tuna crabs tuna and whales eat them sometimes the poor little squat lobsters have die offs sad. Glad I swim in Lake Ontario where the fish aren’t big enough to eat people. So if I see a shark fin I say “I know they are no sharks in Great lake.” though with my it will cute little baby shark.
