Last week was a bit stressful as I had to attend a funeral for one of my Aunt’s on my Dad’s side. My Father is in a home that cares for his Alzheimer’s and was tough “going home” knowing he wasn’t there. But the upside, I did get to hang with my other relatives whom I’ve not seen in a long, long time. I hope our next visit is on happier notes.
Now that I’ve bummed you out, let’s light some Taco Bell farts! Yes, 1977 brings me back from any situation rather quickly. This was a fun comic to draw but again rather hard. Had to do the bus then come up with an angle that shows Jeff lighting a fart that made sense. The usual pose to light a fart is to roll on your back and aim your arse skyward and let the lighter do it’s job. That pose would not have worked in this situation. As you may or may not know, I use a web cam on my PC to pose hands or body angles. The images of me unzipping my pants and bent over holding a lighter should never see the light of day… they are a bit scary. Maybe for bonus material for next year’s book…

In honor of my friend and fellow Webcomic Alliance member Dawn Griffin returning from her honeymoon in Jamaica, here’s BTO from their rare 1979 album “Rock n Roll Nights”. Rare as it seems no one but me and a few other die hard BTO fans bought the darn thing. Trivia for this BTO album is it features Bryan Adams first song to be recorded and it also marked the first time he worked with Jim Vallance, who was the producer on the BTO album. So, you can thank BTO for that partnership it seems… Anyway, rock it Jamaica style this Monday!

XD
I can’t stop laughing at that!
Nothing like a good Taco Bell fart joke to start our week off with!
🙂
haha You know it turns out that Taco Bell’s meat stuff was more lecthin than meat?… dude that stuff is suppose to be for making soaps and health junk. Not mixed with meat biproducts.. lol I’m so glad I’m a vegetarian now. lol
Honeymoon in Jamaica, eh? That goes well with 1977’s biggest preoccupation apart from rock and roll 😛
I like the way you make us think Jeff’s going to buy his way in with his awesome, er, samples, and then he does something entirely different!
Yeah, a bit of a tease shot… But it gets your attention one way or another.
🙂
hot man crotch!!! ooo baby! lol
haha “The images of me unzipping my pants and bent over holding a lighter should never see the light of day” Depending on the person you could raise money by either showing the pics or promising to keep them hidden. I might pay to keep them hidden.
Either way, the photos may be a good fund raiser!
🙂
Man, that’s better than any super-power. I really like your color palette lately, Byron. 😀
It’s the sun setting in the background. I’m usually Mr. Blue Sky kinda artist, so I’m trying to expand my palette. Glad you noticed and liked it!
🙂
Good thing he waited until AFTER the redhead twins had left.
Yeah, nothin’ worse then setting your date(s) hair on fire with lighting your fart. From personal experience, they generally do not go out with you again.
🙂
hey thanks for the song! 1979 was the year I was born too ;0)
Well, I considered texting you while you were in Jamaica, but I didn’t want to interrupt your reading! ~zing~
For BTO fans, it’s a cool song. For everyone else… who knows…
🙂
I’m thinking that actual flame was not required to scorch his eyes … The look of impending horror on the bouncer’s face is completely priceless. 😀
Too chock-full of WIN in the details to cover them all, but Jeff looks amazingly cool in panel #4, the scorched outline on the side of the bus indicates a godly blast, indeed! I think even Lorraine would be impressed. 😉
Thank you all around! I seem to have done well on this one!
🙂
Yeah, the bouncer’s final comment is meant to be a play on words… yes, his eyes are burning from the fart but also from the view of having a guy moon him… then set him on fire.
😛
I feel sorry for the bouncer. security guard or whatever…
Now we know why methane isn’t a Noble gas…
Nice! 😛
HOLY FUCK……NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE ASS OF THOR!!!!!
Well, that’s good advise! Real name or not, nice to have you along for the ride!
Discovered your comic on Jan 25,11 Thanks to 3 snow days I’m caught up. This comic brings back the memories, yes I am a child of the 70’s graduating in 1979. Keep up the great work.
Welcome to the party, pal!
I love when new readers get to read the whole archive in a single shot. Really get a feeling for where the comic has been and where it’s going. I’ve planted a lot of seeds along that way that are just now growing. It also shows how I’ve grown as a comic strip artist and writer… and I have a long way to go yet, but I’m having a good time.
Thanks for becoming a Member too! That is truly appreciated!
