I can’t think of anything nice to say about the IRS except that it stands for It Really Sucks. Reality is about to bite our foursome in the ass.
Storyline has been going a while now, and it is the longest I’ve ever attempted. I appreciate your patience as the “artist” in me tells this story… once it’s done (and it will be done by before the year ends) 1977 will be more random but will have a nice back story in which to pull from.
Hey, what can you say about David Bowie? Hot. Talented. Smart. Business Savoy. English Accent. Blonde. Damn, I hate him. But, love today’s comic title. A little fun mixed in with the vocal effects and that great grungy guitar riff. Even applies in ways to today’s comic too. Score!
See you all back here Monday as we prepare to meet the TV people. This is where I get some revenge on the idiots I use to work with back in my Broadcasting days. You know who you are…
*****************************
Okay, I totally forgot this until a bit ago, but John Lennon helped write “Fame” with Bowie and sang the word “Fame” just before the guitar riff. Man, the 70s were harder on me than I thought. How could I forget that? Hmmm…
Discussion (30) ¬
Ahh, music in the actual post is so good. Especially for young’uns like me who are more music-deficient than they should be…XD
I can’t wait to be rich so the IRS can take half of my money! Yeaahhh!
David Bowie – ick. Hot? No way!
I’m enjoying the story. And I understand where you’re coming from- I’m in the middle of the longest arc I’ve ever written. It’s a bit hard updating only twice a week becasue it takes much more time. But I’m enjoying the heck out of it! 🙂
And I’m happy I don’t give a dime to the IRS! I feel like the money I had over over here goes to better use 🙂
Enjoying the story line and the little song widgets are a very cool addition. It’s like theme music you can play while reading the comic. (:
How can you tell she got a sudden chill when she is in a constant state of THO.
IRS smells anything being cashed in on.
Lol Bearman! Have to check the old weather alerts, but there must have been a constant sudden chill throughout 1977
Anybody remember the James Brown version of “Fame”? (same music, different lyrics)
Was it “On The Good Foot”? I’m not sure I remember.
The IRS knows…. o.O …. it ALWAYS knows!
Ah Yes the IRS man has awoken. I work for a CPA firm and let me tell ya, when there’s any kind of money involved the IRS man knows, he always knows. It’s amazing to me though, how many people will just refuse to pay, and when they are Tens of Thousands of dollars behind with the IRS they just gripe and moan about it, Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.
Ray Stevens had a song that went; “I believe if ten percent is good enough for Jesus
Well it oughta be enough for Uncle Sam.” No truer words have been spoken.
Re Bowie, you forgot ‘most gorgeous trophy wife in the galaxy’ and ‘father of one damn’ fine newbie film director’ 😀
Suggest you keep the story going and stop apologising for same!
ha ha ha, great last line there. something my dad would say, as well.
This song goes great with this strip, B!
You forgot that item about Lennon because it was lost in the MJ haze. LOL
I actually really like the longer stories, and this one’s no exception. My opinion is that you’ve only continued to get better as this has gone on. Yay for us!
Actually, the IRS is more reasonable than credit card companies.
The IRS only charges you 5% interest if you are late in paying your taxes.
Easier to negotiate with the government than visa or master card.
However, only the gov can put you in jail for not paying your bill.
Give the banking lobbyist scum time and they will bring back debtors prison.
