Okay, not many pains are worse than gettin’ your nuts in a bunch…
Trivia: I worked Super Trouper arc spotlights back in my lighting crew days of the late ’70s. Those things are beasts, especially the older ones like I used. We used to leave the side door open and let the arc light gives a mean tan. I’m sure that was not healthy. 🙂
UPDATE NOTE: I printed up hard copies of this comic and sold them at the 2010 C2E2 comic convention. In the final hour of the convention, Steve Sansweet of Rancho Obi-Wan bought this comic and it is now in his HUGE Star Wars collection. Cool!
Deep Purple’s album “Who Do We Think We Are?” is another overlooked classic rock album that is full of some great stuff. It is the last studio album with Ian Gillan and Roger Glover as part of Deep Purple for some time to come. Besides the radio hit “My Woman From Tokyo” there are several really good songs and I think this album has a better overall sound than its predecessor “Machine Head”. Today’s comic song also features some good old fashioned flanging back in the day when studio techs held their thumbs on the reel as it played to achieve the sound effect. I’ve also included my favorite song off the album called “Rat Bat Blue” which is just a good fun rocker and also a GREAT tune to test out stereo systems with at Best Buy as the thing starts off quiet and then BLAM! It will part the hair of anyone within 100 feet. Rock on.
BONUS! Rat Bat Blue

Um, clicking on the Facebook bottle-cap gets me a ‘this page does not exist’ message. URL please?
And welcome back! Looking better than ever 🙂
Wow I didn’t know dressing like STar Wars characters took off so quickly.
O.o
Awesome!! Now if only bud can get her to dress up like Leia they’ll have a stellar time. 🙂
Deep Purple? And here was I thinking you had gone all “Abba” on us.
Though how you could have a strip themed on the late 70s and not so much as mentioned Abba is a bit of a puzzler, now I come to think on it.
They were *everywhere*.
Blinding!
Dark Helmet 😀
Love how Bud calls her “man”. Not that I’d stop to put on Bud’s get up, but I’d imagine I’d get out of it pretty quick with a woman wanting to show me how much she missed me!!
Heh – “Starship Trooper” by Yes would have worked, too – but I’ve always preferred Deep Purple over Yes.
What was up with the production on Machine Head, anyway? It features most of DP’s greatest tracks, but the whole album sounds like it was miked through a sofa cushion. The muffled sound is really distracting. Do you know if the album was ever remastered?
Love the new designs! Now Robyn looks like Runaways-era Joan Jett… which considering how much they have in common (time period, attitude, giving the finger to “chicks can’t rock” morons) is perfectly appropriate!
Good to see you back in action, Bryron. Cheers!
Oooh man, I had a long weekend and I came back to this. Oh how I laughed. I actually had a boyfriend once who was very much into dressing up like that. Only it was Darth Vader. I’m a geek, just..not that MUCH of a geek. 🙂 Also, I like your redesigns, Byron. It’s always weird to readjust, but I don’t think it will take long to get used to them. They’re very keen!
Love the hair, strapless bra and panties but Bud should not geek out. Or at least try a sailor bell bottoms while singing in the navy I’ll dress as sexy naval officer in a mini dress or skirt with the heels. With luck he’ll turn into Buddet then again I went to comic cons as a teller show girl, tuxedo lady and a sexy witch. Even Brittany Miller from the comic sorority girls versus zombies fun computer comic. Just love high dresses and heels so I shouldn’t be so hard on Bud.
