Let’s try this again, shall we?
If you’re just tuning in, this is the updated version of the previous comic. I will tell you all now this comic is why I don’t show the characters performing very often as it is very involved. At least for me it is. All the equipment, crowds, lighting effects, and difficult shadow angles make for one difficult comic to draw and color. Then, to add to that misery, I added in not one, but two throwaway characters that I still have to develop their looks and coloring. And finally, to get the idea across, I had to create 10 panels which makes everything smaller and harder to draw and fit in the dialog. Ah, the joys of creating comics.
Bud’s affliction is actually a real thing. Some men have allergic reactions after the “big event” and the result is a ton of sneezing. It’s not an allergy to sperm, which some women have, but the physical act of crossing the finish line causes an allergic reaction. Rare, but real. And now you know. That was so worth it, wasn’t it? Man, I should stick to fart jokes.
And I finally remembered a song that has a reference to sneezing, and that would be the Moody Blues’ “Higher and Higher” with the opening line being “Blasting, billowing forth with the power of ten billion butterfly sneezes…” I’m a huge Moody Blues fan, and their fourth album “To Our Children’s Children’s Children” released in late 1969 is one of my favorites from them. Have a listen if you’ve never heard it. It starts off with about a minute of the sounds of rocket engines “blasting, billowing forth” and then the song rocks out. Hey, it was the ’60s, man. 🙂
It’s better in colour thank you for getting my mind off Justin Trudeau’s imitating his father use of the war measures act on truckers like it was the 1970 October crisis. When Pierre but Ottawa and Montreal under martial law. Too bad it’s not MASH love how Pierce and Trapper put casts with hooks on both of Frank Burn’s arms. But that’s just so cruel yet funny. Wonder if Justin sleeps naked oh the humiliation just like Kenny versus Spenny. Meanwhile Vladimir Putin is reenacting the soviet red army invasion of the Ukraine in 1920 as the Bolsheviks defeated the imperialist only 2 years after being independent of Russia. They left the Soviet Union in 1992 only to forced into Russia by Vladimir who thinks he’s a tsar or the romantic fictional Cossack Taras Bolba. Saw the movie with Yul Brenner and Tony Curtiss in the movie Taras shoots Andre in the novel Taras burns him for siding with Poles and not the Cossack. I even remember the line of the fair Polish princess “Oh Andre I can not bear to live without you.” Only with Vladimir Putin he is Taras Booba topless showing off hooters and see him in cartoon dancing to Boney M Russian love machine and blowing up the world. As I saw MIGs and Sukhois but no Yaks fighter planes and artillery and tanks on you tube one remembers listening to March of the Soviets. Realize this is not East Berlin 1953, Poland 1954, Hungry 1956 and Czechoslovakia 1968 it reminds one of coloured soviet propaganda films of the cold war red army. Even the 1984 movie Red Dawn famous quote soviet commander occupying small town USA after shooting local rednecks. “You don’t shoot pigs to catch a wolf”. Hopefully it won’t go nuclear, mass dead, draft buzz cut ouch or if they don’t draft you work at a war plant with Rosie the Riveter good god not Rosie O’ Donnell I think I’ll die. But your comics will comfort me as I plan to put casts with hooks on both Rosie’s arms no matter what it’ll be worth it.
This is my favorite Moody Blues album. This is where their concept album form hit its height, in my opinion, a marvelous SF odyssey. So many good tracks, but so much more when taken in as a whole album concept and story in one sitting.
Yes, it is one of their best albums. I didn’t discover the Moody Blues until 1970 when “Question” was released as a single. When I went to find the album, I was surprised to see that they had FOUR albums before that. It took most of the summer, but I saved my lawn mowing money and by the time I started 8th grade in August of 1970, I had all of the albums released up to that date.
