Welcome to Thursday! Told you I’d be here. Count on it to continue.
Lorraine… a nun? Parish the thought. Ha! I crack me up… I worked for a rehabilitation center in the 80s that was run by a “Nunery” (as I like to call Convents). St. Francis Sisters, I believe. They were a fun bunch to hang around. I am not Catholic (by any stretch of the imagination) and I was not uneasy around them… they were just other folks I worked with. They could party too… as only Nuns can. So they enjoyed me a ton.
More on Monday as we unravel Bud’s and the gang’s history which will lead up to Bud telling a story that takes us back to 1977. We’ll get there in time, trust me.
I like a variety of music and this song by Finger Eleven comes up on my iTunes playlist a lot. Great song to draw by. And Lorraine is a Paralyzer at any age. Enjoy!
***************************
I’d still tap it
Is it wrong? 🙂
Now that she’s taken the nun outfit off, I don’t wanna tap it anymore.
But I’m a bad man.
It is wrong? No…. 🙂
I had the same reaction as Bud. Damn now I have to wait for the update to find out what the heck is goin on.
Toon in Monday… 🙂
I like the fact that she can still rock it under the habit.
That should be a band name… Rock the Habit. Double meaning… Nice! And yes, she can rock it…
😛
well isnt that a big surprise! heheh. and what a damn good song btw, they were pretty good in concert… especially when their amp blew and they started playing brick in a wall….ANYWAYS, its always fun to see these kinds of reactions 🙂
Thanks man! And I’m glad you’re enjoying the comic and the tunes. The tunes keep me going while I’m drawing, so I figured a long time ago, why not share them? Rock on…
😛
Great return of Lorraine! I put nuns in the same category as school marm teachers… Kinda wild under the standard uniform. Maybe that’s just my fantasy…
Had a HUGE crush on my 6th grade teacher. Hot for Teacher for sure… and I was only 12.
🙂
Holy @*%$ indeed. There’s a surprise you’d never expect to see. She’s pretty well dressed under that habit, I have a feeling she’s just dressed up for something. Can’t wait for Monday to find out.
I would think a great Nun band name would be Punk Penguins, or Party Penguins….or how about “Breaking the Habit”.
We’ll have to wait until Monday to see what’s really up with Lorraine… it has been 34 years since 1977 and a LOT can happen…
🙂
Musicians never “break the habit” so “rockin’ the habit” fits into their lifestyle a tad better. But maybe some Christian Rock group could take that name!
😛
Is that what we would called a NILF?
Antoine! Hola! And yes, it is… 🙂
LOL! Been there, almost. At my 20 yr. HS reunion, the gal that had been the biggest partier & uh,… least inhibited let’s say, (we had dubbed her our “student body”) showed up, an ordained minister. had alot of jaws dropping! Can’t wait to get the story behind this one!
Yeah, the wild ones sometimes turn out to be the straightest ones in the bunch. I never grew up, so no one is shocked at what I do or say. Haven’t been to a reunion since 1995 and doubt I’ll go again. I did my sentence in High School, I don’t nee to relive it.
🙂
Toon in Monday to see what Lorraine is up to.
Well, given how she’s dressed under the habit, I’m reasonably certain that it’s a practical joke .. and a pretty good one. Guess we’ll find out soon enough … 🙂
Pretty clearly it’s been a few years & been out of touch, but Plan 9 actually cut an album! Hope it was an LP .. which would be how many songs ..? About 12-ish, maybe? Drop a few hints as to their content and hold a contest (or two) for playlist entries and lyrics …
Considering her wild youth, the years haven’t been too bad on her. Still quite a curvy looker. Ahhh, the miracle of cartoon physics! Old habits are hard to break.
Well, they DO wear clothing under the habits… they’re not Greek togas you know… 🙂 But Lorraine would always wear something sharp, so we’ll have to wait until Monday to see what unfolds!
🙂
HAH! …. that was an awesome reveal. L-O-V-E-D it! Antoine topped anything else I could have said! …NILF ROFLMAO
Thank you sir!
Wow, Byron. Love the new direction. Art looks good and I love the drama you’re getting in this strip. Looks like you’ve been revitalized. Also love the establishing shot in the first panel, well done. Keep up the great work!
I have been revitalized. I was letting things get me down, and you just gotta keep on keepin’ on, as we said back in the 70s.
Thanks for the compliments! They mean a lot!
🙂
You gotta roll with the changes. And I think these changes are good! Keep on rollin’ Byron. ……………Great now I’ll have that REO speedwagon song stuck in my head…..LOL But that is good though. HELL YEAH!
Well, for REO, it is not a bad song to have in your head… And I’m gonna roll as long as I can… Thanks!
🙂
Lorraine always did have odd ‘habits’.
…that’s a nun joke. Kind of. Forget it.
And we’re about to find out about a WHOLE bunch more of her habits too…
Oh, and congrats on the guest comic over at GWS. Nice cover!
🙂
RAWK OUT!!!
Like I said, welcome back. It’s great to see you back in form, my man – and wonderful to see the gang’s still in action, too.
Even when they’re old they rock… 🙂
Thanks! Great to be back!
I once wrote a song about nuns called “Break the habit”. I’m bad too!
Welcome to the club…. 🙂
Oddly enough, a couple of weeks ago I dug into the past and picked up the CD of “Bad Habits” by The Monks. Not much known in the USA, I think, but the single “Nice legs shame about the face” was a big hit in the UK in 1979. I could definitely go for Lorraine on that album cover. 🙂
I shall Google it and see what I can come up with…
I have to say, I have a hard time imagining her slapping someone’s hands with a ruler for bad handwriting!
She’d probably want you to slap her with the ruler… 😛
just in case no one has caught it, and its just a minor thing, but there is an unneeded apostrophe in the 5th frame. sorry B, just wanted to bring it to your attention
Well, son of a…
That’s proof of reading without seeing… I’ve looked at the panel 100 times now and never saw that silly apostrophe… now I wonder why the hell I typed it like that in first place? Sometimes you type on autopilot and I probably type “we’re” more than “were”…
I’m surprised other Grammar and/or Punctuation gurus didn’t pounce on that one…
😛
Good grief, so there is! I think it’s a case of ‘that couldn’t possibly be there – there’s no *reason* it would ever be there – so it’s *not* actually there…’ 😛
Nice catch indeed!
well i wouldn’t call myself a grammar guru. But like you, i read the whole thing like 20 times and then it just stuck out like a sore thumb. It’s always a pleasure to help out a comic i love.
OMGWTFBBQ NILF FTW!!!
I know, I love NILF… 😛
