I could have used “Love Potion Number 9” by the Searchers, but I push my luck using ’70s song titles let alone golden oldies from the early ’60s. Google it…
Things never go as planned for Jeff it seems. Maybe it’s all the pot. Toon in Friday for his final plan, which is… unique. (Well, hopefully)
Inks and colors later today. I’m still getting caught up on these commissions.
In late 1976, McCartney released a three record live album called “Wings Over America” which was recorded on his big American tour. HUGE freakin’ fold out album with a poster and all types of illustrations. Sir Paul re-released “Maybe I’m Amazed” in this live form and it went up the charts again. Paul could fart into a microphone, put a snappy bass line to it and it’d sell back then. And I would have bought it too. I didn’t give up on Paul until a little later in the ’70s when I realized he’d fizzled out. His best solo album was “Ram” in 1971, though “Band on the Run” is a very close second.

Later on Axe would perfect the formula. XD
LOL! I didn’t even think of those commercials, but you’re right… 🙂
I hope it attracts squirrels b/c AXE is awful.
I’d like to order about a bucketfull of that stuff. There’s a couple people I owe, Big Time, for ,,,things they done me wrong. I’d like to soak their underwear in it. And lock a chastity belt over top of about three layers on them … 😈
As always … I totally love the sketch-up. thanks! 😀 😎
Love Potion No. 9 was also used as the basis for a truly horrible movie. Never watch it, if you can help it. So much more to life out there you could use that ~2 hours for. But, as far as the music goes, I totally endorse anything from the 2nd half of the 60s making a cameo in your strip. It’s fully appropriate since it was being played so regularly through the 70s … and was a God-send relief as an anti-dote for the entire Disco Atrocity. Queue up some Strawberry Alarm Clock or Zombies, any time, for example …
Yeah. McCartney & Wings, anytime. I think I mentioned this before, but I used to have the vinyl for Wild Life, original release. Played it ’til the groove wore through. While I love most everything else they did, that album is always how I think of Wings when they come to mind now.
I know what you mean about the music from the ’60s. This comic is about the ’70s, but the psychedelic music of the ’60s influenced much of the hard rock that followed in the ’70s. The funny thing is I remember more about the ’60s music than I do of the ’70s. Didn’t help that I drank away the latter part of the ’70s either. Having three older sisters who ranged from the Jan & Dean/Beach Boys era to the Beatles and beyond also helped me remember the ’60s. I can remember listening to WLS or WCFL AM stations back in the day in the car as my parents tolerated “our” music on long trips.
Never got into “Wild Life” certainly the rest of his stuff in the early ’70s I had on vinyl. I skipped his first solo record “McCartney” but had “Ram”, “Red Rose Speedway” “Band on the Run”, “Venus & Mars”, “At the Speed of Sound” and finally the live album “Wings Over America”. After that, I lost interest in his stuff.
“Didn’t help that I drank away the latter part of the ’70s either”
Disco will do that to you. 😉 Thanks for fixing my formatting typo.
Yeah, so anyway … I realize you’ve got a theme. But, the occasional legendary influence getting sprinkled in as tribute &/or cameo is no horrendous sin. The gang could hardly have formed Plan Nine without them. Being from the wealthy family that he is, Jeff should have a mouth-watering vinyl collection. and then, there’s working in a record shop. Throughout the 1980s I shopped heavily out of used and bargain bins. Rarely was I looking for new releases … most everything I perused was about 1973 back into the late 1950s.
Not that I entirely neglected newer stuff. It occurs to me that (if you’ve not used it yet) “Psycho Killer” might be a great title to apply to a squirrel murder fetish … 😀 Talking Heads is a band I followed far more closely than McCartney, for example.
Oh, I was not saying I would not use songs from other decades, and I shall use them when they fit.
Hmmmm… Jeff having a good vinyl collection… I get he does.
🙂
I just hope the squirrels don’t start following him everywhere!
My parents surrendered the car radio to us on long trips.. put on WFIL… that was the station that was always on… until my brothers (all older than me) discovered FM radio in the mid 70’s!
I really like Ram too… I think it’s my favorite McCartney solo album. His first solo record is somewhat disappointing, but has a couple of gems on it, I think. I still feel that Harrison’s “All Things Must Pass” is probably the best solo Beatles album!
The pheromone could still work if Jeff sprays it elsewhere.
We’d have squirrels humping all sorts of things if he actually sprayed the lawn with that stuff.
🙂
Now that Jeff has created this invention, it is a powerful comedic weapon in your arsenal. Concentrated squirrel aphrodisiac has vast potential. Vast. Both when used successfully and when it backfires. Almost impossible to go wrong. Use it wisely, friend Jedi.
THIS.
Look at those squirrels munching on their nuts! [grin]
Sometimes you feel like a nut… 😛
Tell me about it. 😉 😛
Uh-oh… see, now this is what happens when you mess with chemicals with more than one syllable, Jeff!
Happy living through chemistry, and Jeff excels at it… normally.
😛
Does that stuff also work on the ladies? 🙂
Probably. But why would you want a bunch of squirrels humping your lady?
LOL! Could not have said it better! Nice… 🙂
I can see Chip and Dale coming too!!! 🙂
Ah, Grooveshark! Where Letters to Cleo becomes Ani DeFranco, Black Sabbath becomes Led Zeppelin, and Paul McCartney was a member of the Stones. 🙂
