The “Lost Weekend” begins with a bust and the group being crashed. Think it may have something to do with the beer? You’d be right!
Hope your Holiday Weekend went well for all you American readers. I enjoyed some really cool weather… no, it was down right cold (well, for summer). Hovering in the low 70s/high 60s for Sunday and Monday! Actually wore a jacket to go out Sunday night! Haven’t done that since like May!
Well, today’s song has been covered by them all it seems. The song’s roots are tied to the post-Buddy Holly Crickets, but was a major hit in 1966 for the Bobby Fuller Four.
his name is charles! We finally get buds name!!!!
Armed and dangerous? Bud?! (or should we say Charlie? Heh) – ah, this must be one of those famous cases of mistaken identity…
Its looks like the Law lost this one. 😀
Mighty form fitting uniforms on those law officers! (Not that I’m complaining, although he looks to be “packing” as much as she isn’t.)
Yeah…that’s why it’s not always effective to go for the flashy entrance. And why did the guy shout “Not so armed and dangerous”? I’m gonna guess he’s going to keep dong that during the whole scene.
At least everyone’s pants are still on. One of the hazards of being born in 1970 was that my childhood was filled with far more passed-out, pantsless adults than is probably considered normal.
And my parents weren’t even partyers. Partiers? How do you spell that?
Regardless: I’m excited to see how this particular story pans out.
Hey man
I just recently found your comic, and so far, its been pretty awesome, man.
While I’m not really a personage of the 70’s (I was born in ’72, so the 80’s and 90’s were really my ‘coming of age’, time, so to speak), I still enjoy your references, and of course the music! 🙂 Although my recent tastes has migrated to the current rock groups of Disturbed, Slipknot and Sevendust, I still enjoy loading up the classics; and all the memories, of course!
Your comic reminds me of a few girls I knew, way back when, who personified the lyrics of the ‘Pretenders’ song, ‘Middle of the Road’.
“I’m standin’ in the middle of life with my pains behind me”
The funny thing, is that one of those girls thought that the lyrics said ‘…with my PANTS behind me’! …And boy, did she live that way, too!
Hah! anyhow, thanks for a fun comic, and I’ll be sure to keep reading.
Mondegreens – always fun. i’m the man who heard the Blue Öyster Cult/Patti Smith collaboration “The Revenge of Vera Gemini” as “when the Holy Windshield Wiper Gets Me” – the real line being “I’m in the hole in which she finally gets me..”
