Well, like George Lucas himself, I finished this comic, then decided I wanted to “improve” it by adding some “special effects” and re-releasing it. But being as I didn’t want to wait 20 years to post a newer version of this comic, I have posted the “new” version here, and the “original” at my deviantART page, which you can find by clicking here.
My feeling was that in the original, you did not get (readily) that Bud and Jeff in the 2nd and 3rd frames were being viewed from the ladies “warped” point of view. The version here I think clearly hits you that they are being viewed by “purple haze” eyes. I also love the shadow effect in the 4th frame.
But, you be the judge and let me know which you like. Point of view is very hard to show sometimes in comics. It’s easy with video, you just lower the camera, add a fisheye lens, take it off the tripod, add some blurring effects and BINGO! you have someone who’s high showing you what they see.
What do I know, I’m just a cartoonist! 🙂 I love this one either way.

I’ve always felt that hospital dressing gowns were not ideal wear for fighting men.
The Force is strong with this one…
Bongs?
Are those what i think they are, or is my mind just permanently in the gutter…..
I like this one better, though I might have enjoyed it even more if you had already set a precedent for what Stoner-Vision™ looked like. I thought you were showing ACTION! sequences and that the girls really did see a wookie walk by. (There’s a fire-breathing dragon, why not a wookie?)
Moving forward from here though, there are about a zillion jokes you could play with using the Stoner-Vision™ device. I think you’re on to something here…
No I think cherub means dongs…
A bong is something utterly different….
I was going to Toshi Station to pickup some power converters. Then I got high…. R2, Roll another one, would ya?
Why…?
WHY did I have to search for “bong” and “dong” in Google (with SafeSearch turned off!!)??
Damnit…
This page is great!
This “remastered version” is much better than the original. The StonerVision(tm) 🙂 is very cool, but the gold goes for the guys’ shadow over the girls on the last frame. Very nice indeed!
Just one question: why did you draw the real Vader/Ben lightsabers, not the ones the guys assembled by themselves? It would match better with Bud’s mask.
Great week to ya!
That’d be “your”, not “you’re”. >_>
Wicked awesome, man! 🙂
The last time I smoked pot, in 1978, I go so stoned,
everything went black and white.
And then my vision divided into squares;
when various squares started blanking out,
it scared me so bad I haven’t smoked since.
And that was using a water-pipe.
