If you do not know Charlie Daniels’ 1979 hit “Devil Went Down To Georgia” then the third panel makes no freakin’ sense at all. Go listen to the song then come back and laugh!
Holy Crap! What a week. As I write this, 1977 has a44 vote lead, but another 9 hours of voting is left. So, we’ll see how it goes. UPDATE: Wow! Good news everyone! We took FIRST PLACE by two frakin’ votes! YES! You can view the results by clicking here. Man, it was such a nail-biter! Seems we nearly crashed the TGT website as the voting in the last 20 minutes of voting slammed his server. I’m impressed we did such a good job! I will plan on have done a nice Pin-Up of Lorraine for you all. It will be NSFW, so I’ll do an “R” version as well. You may view it at my deviantART Gallery by clicking this text. You will have to log-in to deviantART to see the NSFW version, sorry. The “R” version is for all to see. Seems kids like to troll DA for nude pictures. Who knew?

1st Place – Episode 32 – Byron Wilkins from 1977 the Comic (50%, 493 Votes)
Also, second week in a row that I’ve pumped out FIVE daily comics for you all. No, I doubt I can keep this up. The flame thrower story was too much fun to stretch out over two weeks, so I crammed it in last week. Plus, we got to the hot devil much faster too!
Next: California and all the debauchery it is famous for… especially those folks down in San Diego! Oh, you rock for sure… 🙂
Man, today’s title is ALL about Ray Charles. Now, admitedly he is not my style of music normally, but what a talent! Good God, he’s amazing. BUT it is Willie Nelson’s 1978 version of today’s comic title that gives me the official 70s tie-in! Snuck that one in under the wire!
Have a great weekend, and if 1977 wins, I’ll do something special for you all. Maybe one of those “pin-up” drawings you all seem to want Lorraine to do… we’ll see. My 12 year old can hardly stand it when I draw her with her clothes on…
🙂
its 441 for 1977 to 447 for those other strips as of 6:45 am EST. C’mon Stoners…. 8 more votes, Do it for Lorraine!
Just one vote down now. GO GO GO
Come one, Vote Early, Vote Often. Evidently you can vote once a day or something. And probably from every computer you have.
As of right now…7:56 EST… 1977 is ahead by 2 votes. Hope I helped. Love the comic!
Seems that 2 votes held on! Thanks for the votes! 🙂
Hotel California in our future?
Ssshhh! You read my scripts? 🙂
Hey, that means you HAVE to do Life in the Fast Lane!
VOting closed at 8:am EST (I just tried to vote from work computer and voting has ended). If Byron was ahead by 2 at 7:57 then odds are really good he won.
I was watching up to the last second and it was back and forth by one vote here, and one vote there! ARGH!!
They’ll announce the winner at 2:00PM EST on their podcast. Sneaky, but a great way to bring in listeners… which is why he did this in the first place.
I’ll have a listen and update you all then. REAL close, I know that. Also, remember, 1977 was up against a podcast that had TWO webcomics in it… so we really held our own!
Thanks to all for the support! 😛
Oh, I love Bud in the second panel… that would totally be me.. ignoring what’s REALLY important and playing with something. He’s “flying” the feather like a plane… I would so do that.
🙂
PS: Hint in the 2nd panel too… see the “Unless….” Ooo… loophole!
Two great songs mentioned there.
Yep, they’re both in my collection…
“unless..”
i see a loop hole
The Devil is in the house of the rising son…of God?
😀
And here was I thinking that I was so original for asking for a bomber pin-up Lorraine…eheheheh.
Didn’t think other readers have been asking for it too.
Everyone wants a pin-up of Lorraine… but I may do the Devil now too as she’s kinda hot as well (in many ways!).
I’m finally free this weekend to get to your commission. I have so many ideas, I just gotta do one.
🙂
1st place, wooooooo! nice touch with the feather pen
I try to put things like that in the comic from time to time… little things that happen that really have nothing to do with the primary comic storyline, but show little tid-bits to the character’s personalities. Or, just simply I had fun drawing a quill pen… yeah, that’s more like it.
🙂
Glad I got my 2 votes in on this one. lol Byron, I have to say that 1977 is, by far, my favorite comic. I was born in ’77, so I’m kinda biased, but it was a great year. Hehe
Keep up the great work!
It is funny that my readers are made up readers like you, who were born around 1977, and those of us who lived through it. I’m not sure who’s better off, but I’m glad to have had your 2 votes!
Mainly I’m glad to be able to draw 1977 and bring it to you great readers! 🙂
Now, I’m gonna crack me a couple beers and chill out for a Friday evening! What a day!
Whatever you do, don’t do a PG version of Lorraine, that would be so many kinds of wrong 😛
Congratulations on your win! I voted every day.
Oh, I’ve already started it and it looks damn good… but then I drew it, so I’m biased as I think everything I draw is good (at first) but this drawing is one of my better Lorraines and I’ll give a tease here soon.
🙂
Nope, not PG at all…
Congrats on the win, Byron!
Thanks man! Been a good day, but long! My first time being 1st at anything in recent memory and certainly first for anything I’ve drawn. So I’m thrilled!
🙂
Congrats on your victory, man! I’m lovin’ this crazy-hot she-devil.
Holy hell, is that a Devil Went Down to Georgia reference?
CONGRATS BYRON!!! wooo!!! is the pinup for subscribers only?
Oh, no, this is for EVERYONE and it’s already up on the left side there under “Byron’s Brain Droppings” segment. I got one “pig” comment already for doing her nude… so I call it successful! I’m just doin’ what you readers want man!
Oh those pin ups are awesome! But Lorraine is a little – well – bald in the nude shot. So do the collar and cuffs match?
Yeah, I didn’t draw the “carpeting” as in the 70s Playboy centerfolds they always airbrushed out that area or had it conveniently covered. As I looked at “reference” material, I decided to go with a more “clean” carpet area. But, yes, the curtains match the carpeting.
🙂
For those of us just working our way through the comic, where are the pinups of Lorraine currently located?
Hey TimOfMyLife! I updated the post with links to where the pin-ups have come to rest. Originally they were on the site, but after a bit I took them down. The only issue with deviantART is they do not allow NSFW material to be displayed to non-members. The pin-up with Lorraine with her bikini on is still visible. I will work on a Gallery page here for stuff like this.
Thanks for reading and welcome to the party pal!
