Love Robyn when she takes charge. Now the Chevy is a convertible… except to really be a true convertible it has to GO BACK with the roof over head. Hmmm, perhaps Robyn didn’t think that through. We’ll find out Friday! Oh, Jeff in the third panel cracks me up…
They do get to California, really… BTW, just to remind you all that, like his creator when he was 20, Bud drives a 1969 Chevy Caprice.
“Hello Goodbye” originally had a comma in its title (Hello, Goodbye) but Capitol Records here in the US messed up and left the comma out on the single, so the title was changed slightly. English majors were pissed… I picked it not only because I’m a Paul fan (love his bass playing) but we say “Hello Goodbye” to the cars in the comic today. We’ve had our fun with the Firebird, and now we get to drive a good old Chevy with 350HP V8 with 10:1 compression. The old girl hauled ass for a family car. And she had an 8-track! Weeee!

I actually like the sketched look for today! Of courses – the colored look better, but it’s always interesting seeing the initial concept of a comic strip! Love the Vet!
Hope that Chevy has a chassis.
The Sawzall and its clones are just about the best fun you can have while taking stuff apart. I used the Porter Cable version, called a Tiger Saw, to remove the frame of a ratty old back door so I could replace it with a prehung Stanley door. The frame had a steel “security insert” in it so I needed something with a bit of oomph, toolwise.
I fitted an all-purpose blade into the monster, gripped it firmly, the shaft jutting forward aggressively in the glare of the morning sun, it’s very presence screaming my superiority over all things with my manly tool, pulled the trigger and began the cut at about waist level on the non-hinge side.
The blade got about halfway through, then the vibration shook out the two thousand or so tenpenny nails the various owners of the place had driven in to “fix” the door over the years. The entire frame ripped out of the house, still gripped by the blade, whereupon it was thrashed into matchwood by the sheer vibratory power of the reciprocating saw.
Much manly hooting and screams of domination over all material things then ensued, along with primal screamed challenges to all rival cro-magnons who would dare to suggest they were my equal.
Then I nailed up the new door.
Hahahaha! Women are SO clever and inventive, aren’t they? 😉
Don’t mean to be a bother, but- being a Beatles fan- wasn’t Hello Goodbye in ’67? Isn’t that about 10 years off?
You are getting crazier day by day!!
CRAZY!
I dig double-sized comics! And chicks with power tools. Good job, Byron. It was well worth the extra wait.
Something about a woman working on something mechanical just gets my motor running 😉
See now I know “Hello, Goodbye” was a Beatles tune because I played it a few days ago on The Beatles: Rockband 🙂 As for the convertable… that’s cool man.. but what if it rains?
Having women handy with power tools is a mixed blessing…
If you value your car and keep auto repair and insurance down keep Robyn away from the tools she doesn’t think it though.
