Whoops! I was pretty sure footed most of the time when I tied a good drunk on, but every so often I had my mishaps. I never fell OUT of the car, but once I slid OFF a car. Running up to my friend’s car, not realizing he had just freshly waxed the damn thing, I did a “Superman” type jump onto the hood of the car and was instantly propelled onto the sidewalk on the other side. A sober person would have simply gotten into the car.
Notice Bud being a tad “angry”? Hmmm… Not saying anything else. If you don’t know what happens to Bud when he gets angry, then read up on the archive. One never knows what the future may hold…
“Take It Easy” is a nice easy rocker from the Eagles. I’m a fan of the Eagles with Joe Walsh as they acquired a slighter rougher edge to their music, particularly on “The Long Run”. But today’s comic title is inspired by their 1972 hit penned by Glen Frey and Jackson Browne. The lead off lyrics inspired me to make this today’s title:
“Well, I’m running down the road tryin’ to loosen my load…”
And Bud is doing just that… 😉

Oh god, I KNOW what happens when he’s angry…
this is gonna be gooooooood
I wonder if it happens if that voids the Devil’s contract……… and what Jeff’s parents would say if they saw the Budette……..
OK…thought this one was Little River Band but then remembered it is called Take it Easy ON ME.
..uh, that maybe hurt
Excellent! I thought you would have gone with ‘Bad Moon Rising’ for the title, but reading your explanation, it all makes sense.
At least they’re not going through Colorado, where there could have been a 500 ft drop! That would be a bad hangover.
Oh…and his bare ass is out! That’s gonna leave a mark.
Interesting that people look forward so…*eagerly*…to the coming change. S’all a bit…Freudian if you ask me. Probably caused by seeing “The Lumberjack Song” performed at too early an age.
I hope the ditches are wide and soft in Nebraska, otherwise someone’s going to have “embarrasing personal itch” for a long time while the road rash heals. :o)
if they were here in colorado, they were in the mountains, and it was snowing out, bud would be too cold to even want to be droppin’ trou. 😀
what’s amazing to most is that sometimes when yer going up steep inclines up in the mountains, it seems like yer perfectly level. however yer car, being in 2nd gear and having to climb really hard, says otherwise. 😉
you totally need to have the gang drive thru here, stop in denver, stir up trouble, drink some coors, and shove a few cases of it into the trunk (having mysteriously run outta huber). that woz the thing to do back in the 70’s here. rocky mountain high, anyone? 😀 …
i recall that one of my uncles used to always bring back as many cases of coors as he could afford when visiting here in 70’s from minnesota, before he moved here. it is so funny that everyone thought that the beer was more potent when in actuality it was simply the altitude that got you f’d up more quickly.
i live so close to the coors plant that i smell it when they’re seriously brewin’. i actually have grown to love the smell of burning malt, and it smells great when they’re in high gear…
–dee!
This is by far one of the funniest 1977’s yet! Every panel was hilarious. Great job, Byron! I’ll have to remember not to moon drunk from a moving vehicle now. 🙂
Just discovered your comic. This is great stuff! I’ll be back!
heh heh heh, this should prove entertaining.
Ah, Nebraska: Gateway to South Dakota.
They really need a better state motto.
Just realized that Robin is apparently driving the car and we didn’t get a look at her…… is her shirt still soaked from the Wet T-Shirt Contest?
Ouch!!!!!
Hey, I grew up in Iowa and I was born in Nebraska! Don’t moon either one!!! jk
Byron — I bet you that is the fastest time between moon rise and moon set in the whole history of the world!
That was awesome. I figured for getting whacked in the ass with a tree branch, not falling out of the car! LOL!
