Welcome back all you readers! Let’s rock this joint! (Or least light one…) Thank you all for your past and present support. It’s gonna be a great ride, so hang on to your ass, I’ve just shifted it into OVERDRIVE!
In honor of my “Star Wars” homage, let’s play that awesome main theme that got us all hooked on the movie in the first place.

THIS LOOKS AWESOME! Great to see the comic return with such a great opener (re-opener?) Way to go Bryon and Lena. I don’t know how well you’re #2 marker for success is going but #1…. I for one at least love reading your work, and can’t wait for more.
super start,reminds me of my Starwars pillowcase.
This is amazing! And really nice site update!
A big thank you to my readers who are early risers on a Sunday! Well, you UK folks are already past your tea-time, but you get the idea…
I’m really glad to be back to normal updates and getting on with 1977… the fun returns!
Site looks great. Love the bottle cap buttons at the bottom.
Hey Man, good to see you back in business..
Great new look, and great references in the picture. Smells like wallpaper material …
Site looks awesome, man. Playing in the major leagues now.
I hope that the Subscriber bonus strips will be included in the next book. Thanks for the weekly funny, and keep rockin’ bro!
YAY! I’m glad you are off and running. Love the Star Wars inspired (Can we say inspired? Or should we say rip? LOL.) picture.
I just gotta say that working on the site was way fun and you’ve inspired me to spend some more time doing artwork. I have some stupid failure issues with it I need to overcome. But, watching you and Kevin have so much fun with your art, makes me realize I’m really missing out by not making time for my own. Being creative is important to me and I’ve really got to make it a priority. I’ll be having fun and posting on my blog new work as it comes.
Hey Lena! A BIG thank you for all your work on the site.
But as far as “failure” issues… just take a look at the first comics of 1977… they suck. Poorly written and poorly drawn. But, by doing the comic, my style is coming around. I’ve already improved so much since January of this year and this break allowed me to concentrate on some much needed practice as this post shows. I could have not pulled this off a year ago.
So, go do. If you have a dream, just freakin’ do it as we’re not getting any younger. I was 50 when I decided to become my life-long dream of drawing comic strips, and if I can do it, well, anyone can.
Ta-da. 🙂
RE: Drew – OH YES the subscriber comics will be in the next book. That would be cruel not to share them at some point. The subscriber comics will NOT be on this storyline, but just general fooling around and maybe a bit more risque as it’s in an area where you have to sign in and I don’t have to worry about some grade school kid showing his class in the library Lorraine’s naked boobies… Its been done, I know…
🙂
Man, that is an amazing work of art!
You should DEFINITELY offer this art for sale at the store, in digital hi-res or printed. It’s one of your best shots so far, man!
(I still prefer the one of the band on the couch, tough…heheheh.)
If the first 1977 strips “sucked”, I would have not read them. I think they were good and I still like to read them today.
It’s a great reopening for the site. So lets rock, man! HEYA!
Welcome back Papa!!!
I’m glad to see you back on track in doing what you love!
There seems to have some bugs around(not being able to read comments, and the plugin widget below the WCP Collective one), but I’m sure you guys will figure it out!
FYI, love the new site as well, especially the Led Zeppelin pick!
Cheers!
Hey Antoine! Let me know if you can see the comments now. They should be showing for anyone now.
Also, if you could click on the RSS feed and see if you can view it as well. Two bugs we’re working on.
And I’m glad to be back… bugs and all!
Beautiful poster art, Byron.
“It’s gonna be a great ride, so hang on to your ass, I’ve just shifted it into OVERDRIVE!!!”… would that be maximum overdrive?
The previous post was from me. I forgot Lena had borrowed my computer!
LOL! Seems Lena gets around!
Everything is fine!
The RSS was probably fine already since I saw your posts in my reader early this morning 🙂
