Stoner Vision has returned. Let’s get jacked and see what magically appears… man, my hands are HUGE!
Mr. Hornet is based heavily on the ’60s TV show “The Green Hornet” logo. Al Hirt did a phenomenal job on the “Flight of the Bumble Bee” for the theme and of course I fell instantly in love with the Black Beauty. The show wasn’t nearly as campy as “Batman” and featured an up and coming Bruce Lee who showed us Americans how to kick ass. Don’t even get me started on that damned film they made a couple years back. Another example of taking something and having Hollywood totally f**k with it. I refused to see it based on the actor chosen to play the lead. Ugh. Though the car looked bad-assed.
So enjoy Mr. Hirt’s rendition of “Bumble Bee” even though the show was about a Green Hornet. Ah, well, you know us TV type never give much thought to logic…

Hey Doc, did you see the size of that chicken.
Stop smoking that stuff. 🙂
By the way, the Green Hornet theme is one of the bests in TV’s history. Great version here. 🙂
Dude, you should have used The Brown Hornet from Fat Albert. That was totally 70s…
Hornets totally love spleen. True fact. Just wait ’til the gang finds the MotherShip. Spleen juice. Everywhere. I sure wouldn’t want to be them … 😀
Yah, and totally … the Brown Hornet. If you’re ever running short on ideas to wallpaper the kids & cast up, you could always re-interpret Fat Albert and the gang, maybe sort of a race-reversal/ other-side-of-the-mirror kinda thing. Not sure how that would work. More of a concept in progress.
Hmmmmm … one of the girls as Weird Harold. OKay. Bad Idea. Time for some brain bleach and shake the Etch-A-Sketch a bit to clear that vision. 😯
i see them as more the Speed Buggy crowd.
If I -EVER- saw a bee that big, I kid you not, I’d shit my pants! #TrueStory
Hahaha! I recall the first time I ate shrooms in college, I spent the night watching a hornet fight a spider. It was quite interesting. 😀
The timing of this comic is perfect with the movie release of “Hunger Games”. No doubt you saw the movie and were inspired by the hornet’s nest scene within.
“Al Hirt did a phenomenal job on the “Flight of the Bumble Bee” for the theme(…)”
Um…no. The Green Hornet theme is, vaguely, structurally similar to Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Flight of the Bumble Bee”, but that’s about all.
Compare: Green Hornet theme – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuoNLnrPlFM
Flight of the Bumble Bee – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QV1RGMLUKE (Note: This is a longer version than what I usually hear. Most versions last about 1:30 or so.)
I think that confusion arises because “Flight of the Bumble Bee” *was* used as the introductory music for the 1939 serial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH73nAKogXM
“(…)of course I fell instantly in love with the Black Beauty.”
*NOT* gonna argue with you on this one! Black Beauty was *AWESOME!!!* (Mainly because it looked like a *car* rather than a freak of Nature…)
Once, whilst fripping my trains out, I befriended the most colorful bug in the universe. I awoke the next day naked on the kitchen floor with a dead grey moth on my stomach.
Lol! Little hornet my ass! This guy must be too wasted to realize how huge that thing is xD! Well, this is he 70s’ and all, so…Everyone and their mothers used to get high off theirrrr asses!
Hmm. As usual, I’m the dissenting vote here. Knowing almost nothing of 1960s telly apart from Star Trek, The Prisoner, Man from U.N.C.L.E., Doctor Who, and Corrie, I went to see the Seth Rogen-Jay Chou film last year and thought it was terrific fun (as did the rest of the party). I’ve less than zero interest in seeing the original telly series as it sounds to be as awful as the Batman ones was – I’ve finally been subjected to a couple of clips of *that*, and, like, eww eww EWW.
But let’s not argue 😀
One, loved the Green Hornet/ Batman Crossover episodes, but otherwise, never watched the entire series. Which I regret. Still, good chouice for today’s comic..
In relation to hornets, the fact that Bud hasn’t been stabbed by it’s stinger shows just how lucky he is, and I happen to have the same luck. Entymology is my thing, and Hornets of most species are not friendly in the least. With that Red and White combo on, he’s lucky it isn’t morethan one, since they’re agressive alone. Still, if it tralked, I’d be going for a Pool net and a Giant 12-Gallon Tupperware container. Cha-Ching!
I watched both as a kid, I liked batman better however. I was a fan of Bruce Lee, however. Found out a little while ago that he was supposed to get the Kung Fu role, instead of Carradine. Would have been a better series, in my opinion.
