Alrighty then…. after doing major work this week on client’s sites and putting out a few personal fires, last night just got clogged up with all types of stuff. So, here’s the pencil sketch of today’s comic. Inks and coloring tomorrow.
I’m bringing back Stoner Vision. As Bud smokes weed, various cartoon characters will appear. Mostly from Hanna Barbera (the cool stuff) but I’ll dip into other shows as well. I grew up on Saturday morning cartoons in the 60s as my parents soon discovered that from 7:00am until Noon, if cartoons were on, I was generally quiet and *not* bothering them or my sisters. Yep, two or three bowls of Cap’n Crunch (with sugar on top) and five hours of cartoons, and I was ready to tackle Saturdays like you never knew. Now you know why I’m hooked on Mountain Dew and Adult Swim shows. Love cartoons.
Warren Zevon released his first album in 1976, and toured during 1977 popping in on Jackson Browne gigs. But it was 1978’s “Excitable Boy” that brought him to the lime-light. Everyone knows “Werewolves of London” and should know today’s comic title as well. The line “… the shit has hit the fan…” makes me laugh even today. So, Bud’s getting sued and it’s time to bring in some “Lawyers, Guns and Money”. And who better for a hired gun than Space Ghost? Yep, no one.

Ha!
Sweet! The ACTUAL update! 🙂 Good stuff. Yeah, I still love the old HB stuff. My favorites were Johnny Quest and Ant and the Aardvark. Oh, and Atom Ant when I was a kid. They still play that stuff on Boomerang TV if you get it. They’re owned by Cartoon Network…
Seeing Space Ghost, I don’t mind the wait…
I am so willing to wait for anything that has even a slight reference to Warren Zevon… ‘send lawyers guns and money… the sh*t has hit the fan’!
Second only to ‘Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner’.
Warren Zevon. Too many great songs to try start picking favorites.
Thank you, thank you, thank you… Warren Zevon (RIP my friend) AND Space Ghost in the sane reference?!?!? Way too cool. I LOVED both – especially Space Ghost – in fact, I have all of the original episodes from ’66-’68 on VHS somewhere. I also really dug the Space Ghost Coast to Coast that ran on the cartoon network in the early 90’s – especially fun to watch in an altered state of consciousness as the humor & show could be strange & wacky at times. Can’t wait to see the finished product!
Um. Erm. Right. Having gone ‘WTF is he on about?’ and having then wikied on Space Ghost and read a number of pages, I’ve come to the conclusion (yet again) that you and I don’t inhabit the same universe. Space Ghost? Adult Swim? Broadcast television? WTF?
FWIW my husband once showed me something called Harvey Birdman that he’d downloaded. It was almost funny. Well, some of it was. Now I’ve learned where that cartoon came from.
Your love of toons and my total distaste for them probably equal out 😀
You Earthlings are odd. Just saying.
😛 😛 😛
Some weed! O.O
I recently read the Zevon biography, “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead: The Dirty Life and Times of Warren Zevon”, it was a collection of memoirs and thoughts from his friends, collaborated by his ex-wife Crystal Zevon.
It was entertaining in the beginning, and tragic all the way to the end. I never read a biography where you love and hate a man at the same time.
From Rescuer of people to Lawyer, he would give Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law a run for his money if he also wasn’t a TalkShoe.. I mean Late Night Talk Show host. 🙂
One thing is for sure, Hanna-Barbera will never truly die. All their old cartoons get remade at some point. And people said those guys weren’t any good. Well if they really weren’t why make new shows based off their old work? Obviously something is going on there. 😉
