Welcome back Jeff! Seems life has been very good to him… or so it seems. We’ll find out shortly. I am envious of that post-sex towel. Gives a whole new meaning to Towel Day.
Next update is this Friday, then I get back on schedule for next week as I continue to recover from the comic convention this past weekend. And… WELCOME NEW READERS! Check out the archives or better yet pick a storyline from the links on the right.
The Clash brings us a very appropriate tune for the day. Now, who does the song belong too? One of the ladies or Bud’s daughter? You can figure it out, I’m sure.
🙂
*********************
All right full cast.
The band is back together for sure… 😛
glad you’re back and that these guys are back. age has been kind to all of em cept Robyn IMO. Where’d she get dragged through?!
Well, as a tough Irish-Catholic girl from the south side of Chicago, I figured Robyn would have done many things in her younger years to add her share of bumps and bruises along the way. Just being a mechanic alone wears out the old body. Ever see an old mechanic? Yep, that’s Robyn.
I kinda had to smile when I saw the entire gang coming back together in that last panel.
They must be up to something, because this can’t be a coincidence 🙂
His poor daughter probably just figured out why she wasn’t allowed to go out the other day 😛
Yes, the daughter is in for some eye-widening experiences for sure now that Plan 9 is back together (in some form at least).
Hail! Hail! The gang’s all here!
Magnificent entrance by all. 😀 😀 😀 Jeff’s comment is perfect … and I expect that Bud’s daughter is experiencing compounded trauma from her viewing angle.
I’m glad someone caught she may be seeing up either Lorraine’s towel or Bud’s robe. I had to snicker every time I wrote her lines down there.
I’m such a kid…. 😛
Ohh-kayyy…so 30 years have passed and somehow Jeff is EVEN HOTTER? ~boggles and faints happily~
And there’s a reason too…. 😛
Jeff still fighting the barber I see.
Once a long-hair, always a long-hair. We know Jeff would rather quit a job then get his hair cut, so why would it change now?
🙂
Looks like they were getting some Afternoon Delight!
Aw, man, worst freakin’ song ever and it got played to DEATH on AM radio back in the day. That and “Wildfire” are songs that make me want to buy a 44 Magnum and blow the radio out of my car’s dashboard. Ugh.
But, yes, the did indeed have get down in the afternoon! 😛
…man, they all look so damn OLD! o.O You should run a contest on which one has E.D. and which one has begun using Depends undergarments!
Speaking of which, shouldn’t Lorraines ummm, “money makers” be dangling closer to her knees at her age?!? [grin]
Those first 3 panels are priceless! [all done]
You’ll find out soon enough why Lorraine’s boobs aren’t in her waistband.
No E.D. for my gang. We’re rockers, and we don’t need magic to conjure up some Thor’s Hammer! TMI…
Now Depends are another story… 😛
Seconded re both the rockin’ middle-aged males and the well-preserved Lorraine. Hey, I know an old rocker chick who still sports a USA size 4 to 6 arse…in fact I see her every morning… 🙂
woo haha Poor girl.
Yeah, I’m sure she’s gonna need some therapy… or a trip to the mall.
🙂
Still blonde in his 50s? Methinks Jeff is hitting the hairdye bottle.
And not the ladies? Oh yeah, there’s some dye jobs going around.
🙂
Holy crap! The gang is doing great in their 50s with only minor wrinklage!
It’s a real pity Bud’s wife didn’t have that rub off on her; RIP.
I’d like to think I might have that later; I’m in my early 30s, while when I tell people my real age, they react with shock that I’m not in my early 20s.
True story.
I’m 54 and don’t look it. I have a client who’s in his 40s but is mostly gray and everyone thinks he’s older than me. Of course, I still act like a kid, so that helps too.
Yes, I don’t harp on it, but Lily is in fact dead at this point in time. I’m not going to dwell on it, but felt making Bud a single parent gave him reason to settle down and be a bit more “normal” so to speak.
But, I think that’s about to change… 😛
Maybe it was something in the air from approx. 1956 – 1960. I recently went to a multi-class HS reunion for ’74-’78 (I was a ’75er like you Byron…) & by-and-large, everyone looked remarkably good. I’m your age & am constantly told I don’t look it, plus, my long hair (blonde like Jeff’s), while containing some gray, is not readily apparent because the gray/silver blends in & is not as noticable. Also, compared to later & today’s kids, I think (most of) our generation grew up alot more active, used our imagination more, didn’t have all of the manufactured entertainment & a seditary lifestyle, not as much of a junk & processed food diet, etc., etc. It paid benefits we’re enjoying now in our 50’s (that & probably being well-preserved by all the drugs…).
Metooby – my old Da’ was a natural platinum blond and there was no was to tell if/when he ever went grey. I’m not too sure about the drugs preserving our generation though – it’s more like those of us who remembered to stop taking them by the time we turned 30 are still alive to tell the tales of what we did BEFORE then 😛
I remember reading earlier that “modern” Bud was still friends with Robyn and Lorraine but saw no mention ( in that comment ) of Jeff. I then wondered what accident had befallen him to take his life. I now see that he’s in this strip and realized I was wrong. Or did I speak too soon?
