So, even though I’m not a big fan of this Led Zeppelin album, I think it makes a crackin’ good title. And at last we’re in California… home of swimming pools, movie stars, and hillbillies… Stand by for 1977 to take over the state as we prepare for Plan 9 to become rock stars. Rock on, man…
I remember being really disappointed in this album when it came out. Their ZOSO album had been so damn good, this was a real let down for me, and soon after, I lost interest in Led Zeppelin. Give me their first four albums any day and keep the rest. That said, here’s the song I do like on the album.
Discussion (22) ¬
I am confused, they’ve met them before or was it before you re-did the time line?
Wow! You’re an “old timer” with the comic then! I don’t know how many have been with the comic since “day one” back in 2007. But you are correct. When I “rebooted” the comic on January 2nd, 2008, those original 50 comics were retired and are not truly canon anymore. (Robyn was not around for the first trip if you remember). Some of those ideas have appeared here, just more flushed out now. I’m kinda getting the hang of writing comic strips it seems!
Thanks for continuing to read the comic! 🙂
Love the house…you should sell it as clip art.
Yeah, clean up the trees and bushes and it’s pretty nice looking house. I’d put more effort into the windows too.
No matter, it’s one helluva house regardless and one I’ll never own for sure! 😛
So why IS he still living in Lombard? Isn’t the dope better in California too?
If my memory serves, Jeff was left behind to “fend” for himself to learn how to support himself and become responsible. The “push the bird out of the nest to make him fly” sort of attitude… except his parents being rich, left him the HOUSE in Lombard, and Jeff being essentially lazy (up until he met Bud) never accomplished much.
You’ll also find out in the next few comics why Jeff stayed behind in Lombard. 🙂
Byron — OK that sounds good, looking forward to it!
I would think the guest house could hold some major parties
That it will, Nate, that it will. 🙂
Ah, we all have days like that.
I spotted 4 mistakes, which puts you about 6 mistakes better than my typical strip. Plus, I am completely certain that I wouldn’t have spotted anything if your text below hadn’t begged me to go looking for them. LOL!
Kevin, look outside your front door…
Four?! Really? If you’re talking about my not drawing in the girls, then that’ll be a no as I didn’t want to muddy up the background. Besides, they’re obviously stopped and the girls had to pee really bad or something…
Okay, pony up the four mistakes… I’z gotz to know! (via Dirty Harry)
good question!
Me thinks he was pulling my leg… Kevin is a wee bit of a smart-ass… which is why I like h im!
🙂
*chuckles* I was just listening to Zeppelin this morning before I got online. 🙂
Make it a Zeppelin day then… because all the glitters is gold…
🙂
My sunday was very similar, Byron. I was SUPPOSED to get a comic done, but all I got to do was sketch it out. Bah.
That’s one helluva house. Nice architecture drawing, too.
Yep, Sunday sucked… at least Jimmie Johnson didn’t win the damn race again.
I’m a man of many stories… back “in the day” before computers… or BC… I actually studied to be a draftsman (today they’re called architects, but we men know better) and so I am REALLY good at perspectives, horizon lines, etc. Actually drew up house plans once in the 80s that my wife and I were gonna build and sell. But we had kids instead. Damnit!
If I applied myself I could do more of this stuff, but hey, I’m lazy! That’s why I’m an “artist”!!
🙂
To the tune of the Mickey Mouse club song. M-O-N-D-A-Y S-U-C-K-S. All I can say is thanks for attracting Mr. Murphy’s attention away from me. For both our sakes, lets hope he finds someone else to annoy.
speaking of zeppelin …
i played a danelectro DC-59 reissue yesterday (similar to the one page used, except not the right colour and several decades younger) at a music-go-round. great effing guitar. played great, sounded really similar to the original … played it thru a fender deville. even those new ‘replica’ lipstick pickups just rule. i can definitely see how page could get “that” sound out of those instruments. they’re just begging to be cranked and plugged into several fuzzboxes.
wish i had the bread to buy it. it would convert to being a lefty instrument very easily and i wouldn’t even have to drill a new strap button hole! awesome. ahh well.
can’t wait to see wot kinda dodgy shenanigans the gang gets into this week now that they’re finally in the land of decadence and excess. 😀 wish you could have made them take a pitstop a mile high… perhaps on the trip back? 😀
–dee!
p.s. the pile of dog crap subliminally made it into this comic — the bush row and the giant bush / tree in the front of jeff’s parents’ mansion looks, at a distance, like a green version of a dog coiley. d’oh!
That IS a nice-looking crib. What in the world is he doing hanging around with these guys? 😀
I call “shenanigans”! Someone used the term “crib” while not appearing on a cable channel specializing in music videos.
You get a “let” if you were doing the crossed-arms-while-crouching-and-shoving-your-face-into-the-knee-level-camera gang-signs too (yoyoyo)!
