The “Twilight Zone” use to scare the heck out of me as a very young child in the early 60s. What a great show it was for its time. But then I’ve cross-pollinated themes here as Bud and Jeff are dressed like the MIB guys. I’m kinda that way…
I know, Golden Earring’s “Twilight Zone” came out in 1982, but they had a big hit in 1973 with “Radar Love” and I’m pulling one of those rare exceptions where IF the group was big in the 70s, then I can use ANY of their songs. It’s a big cheat and one I won’t use too often. But it is a cool song and man, it fit today’s comic perfectly!
Oh, Lorraine is wearing a traditional Swedish outfit called SVENSKA DRÄKTEN. Thanks to my friend Joppe from Sweden for keeping me up on Swedish traditions. Well, that and Google. 🙂
1977 takes to the “friendly skies” in Wednesday’s comic.
*****************************
Totally enjoying the comic… um… hey. Why can’t I find your name on here?I mean, I see your SIGNATURE, but uh… I can’t exactly READ it. Jeeze, I feel stupid.
Anyway, I just wanted to say good job, and ask how you were enjoying Manga Studio EX. I color a comic in Photoshop but I’m always on the lookout for ways to improve/streamline things.
So thanks a lot… you.
(Jeeze…)
I’m not old enough to remember the 80’s (despite being born in the 80’s, I don’t remember too much until 1987 or so when I turned 4…) but I found the song Twilight off the “Light Years” compilation CD I bought for my mum a few years back…
As we’re talking great music from around 1977, can we expect to see a reference to the double-A single We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions from that year?
I just LOVE Lorraine’s outfit. Blue and yellow, can’t be more Swedish than that, right.
Well, I’m from Sweden and I can’t remember ever seen that color combination on one of these classic Swedish creations, they are usually more colorful.
One thing bugs me, why is Sweden used when a far away country that has to be exotic/esoteric in some way. It sucks big time In real life.
I could see jeff being a MIB agent.
Love Lorraine Swedish outfit Robin should wear one too they would look so cute.
