Don’t touch Lorraine. Chaos ensues as the gang goes crazy on each other. Stress of being in a band and not having any money can do that and just one day you snap.
This comic was a colossal job. First, I re-wrote the whole thing… several times. I struggled with putting it into two separate strips and that just didn’t flow well. Then I wanted a bit more action in the final frame as the fight breaks out. I turned to one of my comic inspirations: Jack Davis. Jack is well known for his illustration work, but we know him from MAD magazine. His drawings always had TONS of action going on and all those subtle jokes built into every frame practically. I can’t even begin to emulate his style, but I looked to some of his bar fights and what elements he added. Thus the guy in the lower corner watching his beer go flying and the single fist taking a swing at some poor soul on the floor. Meanwhile, our instigator just walks out unharmed. Always the case, ain’t it?
The Doors “Touch Me” has always been one of my favorites as far as their radio hits go. “You’re Lost Little Girl” and “Unknown Soldier” are my picks for album tracks. But they had a ton to chose from so it’s hard to narrow it down.
Well, they really are one crazy group of friends/band mates. 😀
Still, I wonder what broke them up in the first place ?
Also, I wonder if Bud’s the only one who has a child amongst them ? 🙁
We are, sometimes, our own worse enemies.
Well, if he really wanted to be in a bar fight that badly … nothing is stopping him from jumping into the middle of the pile. I’m thinking he’s more scared of of fighting crazy mothers like that than he would like to admit.
If I was gonna jump into it, I’d certainly jump into the fray on the left. That’s just me … if I’m gonna die, it’s gonna be with a smile on my face.
And Jeff turns out to be El Kabong … with someone else’s kabonger. Nice, Jeff. Just remember … payback’s a bitch. In cases like this, a bitch on full-blown PMS and first week into going cold-turkey on cigarettes. 😀
Looks like when this goes to color we will be getting some great sideboob action on the gals goodies.
Hahaha, a totally unexpected ending to the previous flying bass strip. 🙂
“No. Every once in a while, I feel like saying ‘Fuck this band. I hate these people . I can’t wait till we break up’.”
– Black Francis of the Pixies, when asked if he liked his bandmates
Well this at least tells us what led up to the jailbreak picture
Oooo, it looks FABULOUS in colour! Especially the fish tank with its bass accessory. Damien Hirst would be proud 😀
…and then Curly joins in the fracas! Woob woob woob woob!
I might be wrong, but it seems that the girls put effort into pulling an ripping while the guys but theirs into punching. And I’m grateful!
Dunno what he’s talking about, this is the only bar fight I know of where “goldfish”, “flying guitar”, and “boobies” can all be used in the same sentence!
Lol what an interesting bar fight xD!
Sturdy Guitar
Indeed, but then again, Rock breaks Glass.
I see what you did there! 😀
And you know you love it.
I just noticed, That Beer defies liquid dynamic movements…. Must be a heavy ale…
Well another Merry Christmas some bar fight beer that rarely spills in my tale the fly boys and bar staff sing I’m a long distance daddy. Leave the violence outside the hairdressers and the married to a 40 year old hunky tonk runner. Involves a cleaver, corset heels, house coat with his bloodied boxers. The rest left to your imagination. Anyway I saw John Waters desperate living longing to be ruled by the amusingly despotic Queen Carlotta of Mortville they eat her in the end of the movie. The rebellious romantic princess Coo coo in love with a naked garbage man so injected with rabies. Even the neurotic Peggy Gravel a closeted fascist wearing a cute witch dress with caldron would be better than king Charles. At least Bluto isn’t raising taxes while punching either Bud or Jeff like in the 1980 movie Poppey. Bluto “Taxes, double taxes, triple taxes, quadrupal taxes sales tax excise tax” Robin Williams was fun in the movie.
