Thus starts the BIG ending of our gang’s California Road Trip. All the loose ends will get wrapped up in one tidy story arc that starts today. Drawing the damn car about wore me out… I’m not a technical artist by any stretch of the imagination. Love the fourth panel with Robyn and Lorraine clinging to each other!

By the way, I will NOT post a comic this Friday… it is Christmas and this artist is taking it off!

Late in 1976 the Eagles released “Hotel California” which I eagerly awaited as it was the first with Joe Walsh on board as a guitarist. I have followed Joe’s career since1971’s James Gang “Thirds” album and the single “Walk Away”. Joe’s talent knows few limits and he’s truly as laid back as he appears. He is a fan of local (Chicago) talk show host Steve Dahl and Joe will drop in from time to time and just crack everyone up in the studio. Classic stuff. So, Robyn and Lorraine are in the “fast lane” for sure and we’ll see where it takes them on Monday the 28th. A little 1977 trivia… “Hotel California” was slated to be released in “Quadraphonic”… a FOUR channel audio format that failed miserably. Hey, you only have two ears, how you suppose to listen to the other tracks on headphones? Quad would die in 1977 and later come back as… Surround Sound. Hey, how about that.

Enjoy your holidays and try not to burn down any trees. Have a little eggnog for me…
