Ever make that mistake? Calling someone a “secretary” or “receptionist” and then having them go off on you about it? Okay, if I do this to anyone, forgive me, I was born in 1957 when men were men, women were “chicks” and cars were made of solid steel. I, like Bud, can set the women’s movement back decades without even trying. So, sorry about that, Chief!
If you are thinking of anyone but Bowie for today’s title, then check in your iPod for a tune up. A great song from one smart cookie for sure. And the words even have some meaning today, well, kind of.
More Robyn this week as we begin to roll tape on the demo recordings! 🙂
*************
Bud’s lucky that he didn’t insult the version of Robin that I had commissioned you to draw for me……;-)
I call my wife that all the time – but she is one! Eh – what can you do?
Whoa! I wouldn’t mess with a chick who was that strong.
The greatest Bowie song IMO.
did she sharpen the drumsticks first?
We ought to offer song titles as challenges for the artist to use creatively in some future strip. Unfortunatley, all the rediculously hard-to-envisage ones were used in the 60s (eg 1910 Fruitgim Company’s “I Was Kaiser Bill’s Batman”) leaving only really easy ones to do the innuendo riff with (eg Caravan’s “If I Could Do It All Over Again, I’d Do It All Over You”).
Unless, of course, one mines the miniscule but annoying catalog of Little Jimmy Osmond.
But no-one is going to go there.
[Byron] I want to comment on the use of differing eye styles, but I’m not sure what I want to say. I think I’m finding the difference between Doe-eyed Robin and Mad Robin in this strip a bit, I dunno, distracting maybe? I dunno. The eyes thing seems to be a style you’re still developing into a signature and it’s cool, but there’s something about this one that is bugging me.
What the hell do I know? I can’t draw stick figures for Chrisakes. I’m still amazed by the hands. Very expressive. Ver *im*pressive.
Is that a Revox reel-to-reel Bud is fiddling with? Always wanted a Revox. in ’75 *everyone* used ’em as on-stage echo machines. No loop click like you got with an Echoplex. In the days when the musicians would list their instruments you were almost certain to find one lurking in amongst the guitarists’ stuff if you looked.
PS The consultant who sits behind me has David Cassidy’s “I Think I Love You” as his ringtone when his wife is calling him. It just went off. I’ll never get used to this synchronicity thing.
I deliberately never learned to type so I could never become a secretary.Of course,once the internet arrived ,I kinda regreted it.
Cha-cha-cha chaaaanges!
This is the prettiest Robin you’ve drawn so far. (drawn? is that right?
Her face on the first frame it totally cute.
But it’s still ass-kicker Robs. Eheheheh.
And such niiice cleavage… 😀
If you keep this trend up, I’ll have to ask you to change my commission from a Lorraine’s to a Robyn’s one, if you have not started it yet.
Go All the Way – Raspberries
Hey, don’t worry.
I’ve been a lot busy these days to.
Draw the comission with the character you see fit.
Also: if the bomber noseart turns out too difficult to do, you can make a Robyn Mechanic. 😀
Illegal fireworks?
Couldn’t the cops just see where they’ve been fired from and get to you?
170 miles is a fair amount, and sure gets a driver tired.
What car does you drive? Here in Brazil most people have small cars with small economic 4-cylinder no-more-than-1600cc engines. And cars here are really expensive… I decided to sell mine more than a year ago and take the bus and taxi to ride around. I’m blessed my girl doesn’t mind about that…heheh.
I had a Ford Escort Station Wagon, with a 1.8 16V Zetec engine. It was a runner for this country’s standards…
[Byron] Sorry about y’ Dad.
[Byron] Don’t you go through, like, 27 time zones on that drive?
Laughing HARD about your Tony Orlando collection.
Can you play the bass part to “Knock Three Times” or “Tie A Yellow Ribbon”? Just askin’ (*dodges housebrick*).
Secretary actually means “keeper of secrets” and used to be a position of responsibility and respect.
Of course “diss” didn’t used to be a word and “enormity” used to mean horrible evil, but I’m getting over it.
