Let it snow, man! It’s been almost two years since we’ve seen the powdery stuff here in 1977 and with this being Chicagoland, you gotta have some snow now and then. I am not trying to be too logical in the timeline with the comic, but obviously most of 1977 has taken place thus far during the warmer weather, so now it’s time for a little cold. I don’t intend on dwelling on the cold, but since it *is* winter-time for a lot of us around the world (except those crazies down under who celebrate Christmas on the beach) I figured why not let it snow.
I was always a day late and a dollar short in my younger years. Mostly as I was drinking and watching TV, just like Bud. “Hey, rent’s due.” “Man, ‘Star Trek’ is on!” That sort of stuff. Kinda true to this day, but luckily I have my little pocket PC that keeps me on target (most of the time).
In 1974, Queen released it’s third album and I can remember not being thrilled with it as I was with their first two releases. This album headed them into the multi-track production that would be the basis of nearly all their works to follow and gone were the real rockers that had dominated the first two albums. So, it is natural for me to pick the one of the more rocked out tunes for today’s comic title. You can bet our duo is a little stoned, a little cold and certainly a lot of crazy! It was the 70s…

Great strip today, Byron. Queen were the first group I listened to as a kid. It started with ‘We Will Rock You’ and it went from there. I remember in the mid 80’s after they released ‘Hot Space’ the crap I heard about being a Queen fan. People were so down on Queen after that until they were ‘revived’ by the Wayne’s World movie. Now everyone loves them again, lol. Btw, Brighton Rock from that ‘Sheer Heart Attack’ album was my all-time favorite rocking Queen tune… 🙂
Don’t forget Fat Bottom Girls.
Hammer to Fall! Not to mention Tear it Up. And for that matter, I’m in Love with my Car.
Eek! I forgot Now I’m Here!!!
‘STONE COLD CRAZY, YA KNOW…’
Ah, I remember Chicago in the wintertime. Nuff said!
Oooops. 🙂
I relate to Bud’s attitude,I always figures if you hid from a problem long enough,it went away.
Looks just like my street! Well..okay actually not so much this year. My part of Canada isn’t living up to it’s snowy reputation. ;P
Procrastination never makes winners out of anyone. 😀
It’s a snowmobile!!!
