Ah, never trust anyone over 30… one more comic before the Christmas comic!
I wanted to give you all one more comic for all the nice comments you’ve have passed along to me this year and this season! It means a lot to an old fart like me, plus my family has had a few issues this year and it makes us warm inside knowing I’m entertaining a few of you!
😀
So, a comic of our favorite pet dragon… Poco! Someone wondered if Poco had made the move to the girl’s house and the answer is yes… this comic is acutally hinting to a part of the new storyline in 2009! Mystery abounds…. damn this old fart!
Oh, 1977 saw the release of a fairly decent album from Blue Oyster Cult and the first track on side 1 was none other than “Godzilla” which became an immediate FM stable staple. I love the song, particularly the line “Oh, no! There’s goes Tokyo!” and went with that as today’s title instead of the song’s title. A wee bit of a different spin for a year end bonus comic!
Enjoy!
I was only wondering how long it would take you to break your “vacation” and pop out with another strip.
For almost a second after reading this I thought “Oh man, I want a fire-breathing dragon lizard.” Then I thought of my house burning down and changed my mind.
Merry X-Mas Dude.
The guys go Tokyo, Poco meets wasabi.
2008 has been a great year for comics, and 1977 is no exception. (I think it’s definitely ahead of the curve for the new comics this year, actually)
And… Poco!!
Enjoy your Christmas break and we look forward to 2009’s glory.
RE Kevin: Oh, the WACOM will not be gathering any dust for sure. I have a huge storyline I’m scripting into several smaller arcs, plus I’m doing a new format (like today’s comic) and I need to see how long that’s gonna take to actually complete each comic. I also want to get ahead this year and try and maintain a buffer.
So, even though I won’t be posting, I’ll be very busy with 1977 just the same! I think I may get Christmas off, the boss is a real jerk…
😀
RE: B- Wasabi would be a good fuel for Poco’s fire. Gotta take that stuff a little at a time! Good with salmon though! Yum! 🙂
RE: WordOwl – There was a great crop of new comics this year and I’m glad to be in that group for sure!
Yes, I’ve come a long way this year. I cringe at the comics from January now, but that’s part of the process. The comics I experimented with in 2007 I can’t even look at now. UGH! But I really look forward to the improvements I’ll make this year and where I’ll be next year at this time (perhaps in jail, but that’s a long shot!)
Thanks for your support and great comments!
I think you meant “FM staple” (played on FM a lot) instead of “FM stable” (idk, played on stations that are only on in barns?). Oh & love the lizard, hope to see more Poco 🙂
Yep, Me, you’re right! It’s one of those times where no matter how many times you read it as you’re writing it, you read it the was it’s suppose to be not as it really is. Having been thrown off of at least two horses in my day, I know what a stable is too! And, as a former DJ of rock and roll, I should know the difference!
I stand corrected! Thanks! 🙂
@Byron, Re_B:
Now he’s got me wondering, would different spices allow you to adjust the power/intensity/distance (or just the flavor) of Poco’s flame?
Hmmm-m-m-m…
Wasabi vs. Jalapeno vs. Habanero vs. Bell-peppers vs. Black Peppercorns vs. White Peppercorn vs. Tabasco vs. Curry vs. (muttering)…

& finally, a simple Christmas Puzzle-Message:
“ABCDEFGHIJKMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ”
Greetins DMS_Run! I think you started your holiday celebration a wee early from the sounds of your Christmas puzzle! 😀
That would be a nice running gag for Poco “Poco ate babaneros! DUCK!” or some such silliness….
I tried the links and got an “expired message” or similar message. I’ll try later!
Blue Öyster Cult! Yeah!
(Cue also “Burnin’ for You”?)
Am I crazy or did Poco just roast Fonzy?
Well, I have not thought of that, but “Happy Days” was a huge hit during the ’70s, so Fonzy is in my sub-conscious whether I want him there or not. 🙂
Cool seeing you go through the Archives! Thanks!
Just don’t dress as Astroboy and do your best at farting the cute little creature to death and Bud and Jeff should do fine. If not Bud can turn into Buddet and then sailor moon then have Jeff turn into Jeffa and Lorraine and Robyn into sailor mars, Jupiter and mercury (at the sign of the cat). Lorraine’s got class but not easy on the gas unlike the mercury bobcat see to many ads on Hockey night in Canada as a child. The Fonzy throws like a nellygirl in baseball practice. Behind the scenes Henry Wikler could not throw baseballs so he getting nogies, wedgies and hauled up the flag pole in his fruit of the looms. At least he’s not a freshman or it’s the popular paddle on his rump mohahahaha. The Fonz ahhhhhh that hurts.
