With Bud and Jeff saying adios to Illinois State University and the Rites of Spring concert, our next storyline is about to start. After today, I will only post some guest art here and there along with some updates on what I’m up too. Some of the guest art is pretty cool and from folks you may or may not know.
In the meantime, you can help me NAME BUD! That’s right, Bud is only his nickname and I need a “real” name for him. CLICK HERE TO ENTER YOUR SUBMISSION. Keep in mind he was born in 1957 and his last name is Chambers. Plus, I’ll be looking for not only a fun name, but a reason behind your pick if you have one. That will sway me a lot! Hint. The winner gets drawn into the comic here upon it’s return August 1st plus a COOL PRIZE to be named later. Enter today! I’m taking entries until the end of June.
Okay folks, vacation time for me and my family. See you on the other side. It won’t be long and the new 1977 website and story-lines will be posting sooner than you think! Thank you all for the support during these trying times and know that you are the best damn readers in the industry. Suck it you other webcomics!

Insert ominous music in that last panel…
I kinda thought batteries made men obsolete.
Ah, they do. Robyn has her “Handi-4000” vibrator named Rodney that has made an appearance or two in the early days. The squirrels used it to harvest acorns off the tree!
I sing that song all the time “I have a party in my pants, party in my pants, party all the time”. I forget who sings it, I think its a Jackson! *smirk*
When were men NOT obsolete?!?
If it weren’t for the fact we make the sperm, we’d been killed off a LONG time ago by women folk. Or at least stranded on Australia or something.
🙂
Sadly, I know that “Party all the time” is actually an Eddie Murphy song, if you can believe it. And luckily it takes more than batteries to make men obsolete. But, if women invent a device that also kills spiders and opens jars, we are doomed, man.
Lawn care and car maintenance is the only reason women keep us around guys, face the facts. It certainly isn’t for the sex.
Ah, you’re not alone there Mr. Racine with knowing that confounded Eddie Murphy song. It was produced by Rick James and the sad part is was NOT meant to be a funny song and Murphy really was taking himself serious in that song and video. It was the sign Eddie was on his way out.
Back rubs! And getting possums out of the chimney 😛
Now back rubs ALWAYS leads to rubbing other things… so we men aren’t allowed to close to you women… for good reason. Doesn’t take much to launch the Saturn V in our pants.
🙂
Possums and birds. I’ve done bird patrol personally, but no possums yet.
Sadly I knew the Eddie Murphy track as well, but I always remind people of this. While Murphy’s was bad, it was a million time better then “Bruno’s” IE Bruce Willis’ attempt at a music career… Guh, that stuff will make your ears bleed.
What is it with these Hollywood types thinking they can sing in a band? They perform for their friends at some party and suddenly they think they’re freakin’ Elvis Presley or something. When in fact those “friends” at the party are just industry idiots who will clap for anything they do just so they can attend a party at Bruce Willis’ house. Get over yourself celebs… you can’t sing for crap!
🙂
It’s worth remembering, though, that a lot of actors started out as musicians and a lot of musicians started out as actors, so the lines are blurry 🙂
However, there is NO excuse for Gwyneth Paltrow and Scarlett Johannson thinking they can sing. NONE. Argh. Make it stop!
Yes, it’s the untalented bastards who THINK they have talent because they have money. Close all recording studios when they approach.
😛
Pretty late but… HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Hey, I take greetings of any type any time! So thank you!
🙂
Gasp! You guys mean.., industry wags were just being polite with William Shatner regarding his singing carreer?!?! Say it ain’t so, Joe!Gosh I hope he never finds out…
LOL! Aw, man, that Shatner album was the worst EVER! But, Nimoy’s “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins” comes in a close second. What is it with these guys thinking they can sing?
People like Paris Hilton to Shatner need to get a grip and realize just because they have money doesn’t mean they can sing for shit.
Now, me, I realize I can only sing three notes and two of them are wrong, so I stick to my trusty bass.
