My two oldest boys were the right age to have seen and owned on video the Disney movie “Rescuers Down Under” and it was the original inspiration for this comic.  But, using Google to verify I spelled the title correctly, but what did my aging blood-shot eyes behold? The original “Rescuers” movie came  out in… 1977! Shit, couldn’t have planned that one better.

I toyed with a stoner reaction for Bud in the third frame, but finally just went with what you see.  Probably more fitting. Stand by to touch down in Latvia on Monday and a couple weeks worth of comics visiting this scenic country!

The Byrds launched several musical careers and were better at performing Dylan songs then Dylan himself. Today’s comic title was released in early 1966 and was actually banned by some radio stations thinking it was referring to drugs when in fact it was about flying in a plane to a gig in England. Duh. The Byrds essentially created folk rock and then helped launch psychedelic rock songs with today’s comic title. David Crosby and Roger McQuinn are the two best known musicians from the Byrds.
