Those cocktail wieners won’t be around long. Seems Bud and Robyn put the pot field they found last week to some good use. They may never want to leave now.
I know mini-hot dogs as Vienna Sausages, but I have found that if I use a brand name I know, that the brand may be only a Midwest brand. Besides, wieners is a funnier word. Note the manufacture of the cocktail wieners is Von Wieners. Someone has to have that name, you’d think.
One of my favorite Rolling Stones tunes and fits rather well as Jeff is building a shelter this week. Off of the 1969 album release “Let It Bleed”, “Gimme Shelter” was originally labeled “Gimmie Shelter” on the album, but ever since everyone, including the Stones, have referred to it as “Gimme Shelter”. Trivia for your Monday.
BYRON! this page is great! your art has come up to a new and exciting level. I enjoy taking a creative break from you page for a few months then coming back and seeing how much you grow as an artist! Man you are an inspiration!
Thanks, man! I always push myself to learn new techniques and work on character posing and expressions. Working on coloring Liz Staley’s “Adrastus” comic has helped significantly with my coloring process. So, it just takes time and practice.

It’s good to see the gang at least has some essentials – cocktail wieners and a change of bikinis for Lorraine.
You can’t be stranded on a desert island without proper swimwear… it’s a rule.

We’ve been rewatching _That ’70s Show_ on Netflix and Donna had a line almost exactly like Bud’s in panel 5! (^_^)
That show was very funny in the beginning. It ran out of steam long before it ended, which a lot of popular shows do. The episodes that end with the 1977 license plate tag are, oddly enough, some of my favorite. Coincidence? I think not.
🙂
This is true. Jackie Gleason stopped making “The Honeymooners” after only 39 episodes because he didn’t want his show to be one of those — he sensed he was out of good original ideas and didn’t want to sink into repetitiveness, self-parody, or forced tone changes (like the old “we’re having a baby!” schtick) to keep the show going.
I respect the hell out of him for knowing when to wrap it up.
Isn’t it amazing how quickly ones clothes rot off after becoming stranded on an Island? [smirk]
A couple comics ago, I had Robyn state that when Jeff blew up the plane, he burned all their clothes with them. Bud was complaining about wearing a loin cloth. Keep up with the class, sir.
🙂
Those wieners are looking better by the minute!
Especially when being carried by Lorraine. 🙂
What happened to Lorraine’s Bikini?
And then I realized you answered that…I’m a little dumbfounded though…Considering how small Lorraine’s bikini is.
Sometimes I leave out what I think is boring exposition and hope that the images will suffice. If you look at the comic where Jeff blows up the plane, the gang is in nothing but t-shirts, as their ready for sleepy time. Thus, all their clothes, including Lorraine’s new bikini, is on the plane. A LONG time ago, I established that the girls go mostly commando (no underwear of any type).
But, in the next comic, I am going to show how they made their loin cloths, so I should explain their clothes situation then.
And thus by the simple necessity of using 1 t-shirt to clothe 4 adults the thong was born. 😉
LOL! Nice. 🙂
Though with all that hemp, you’d think they’d have enough material to clothe them all for years. Mind you, actually turning hemp into clothing probably requires equipment and skills that are somewhat lacking on this island…
