Today’s comic gets the band rehearsing and allows me to “nod my hat” to Chuck Jones. In 1943, Jones directed a Warner Bros. Bugs Bunny cartoon called “Super Rabbit” wherein Bugs obtains Superman like powers from a fortified carrot. After[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Bud comes up with a creative way to get around a bar manager who’s a chauvinistic creep. Well, perhaps I did… There were always these “scary” manager types at the bars I played at. They’d greet you at the door[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I NEVER met any girls like that in my little farm town that my family still calls home… I’d would have never left if they did… Don’t laugh, but today’s title, besides being a popular expression, is also a very[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The song is actually called “Fly, Robin, Fly” a 1975 song by the German group called Silver Convention. It was basically an instrumental except for the chorus of the song title followed by “Up, up to the sky!” No, I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
No, Bud didn’t get mad, he was surprised and his “feminine” instincts kicked in, so to speak… The manager is modeled after Danny Devito and is named for the character used by the Firesign Theatre in the “Nick Danager” adventures. […]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I remember once in the TV series of “The Incredible Hulk” David (Bruce) Banner making a comment he needed to invest in stretchy clothing. Bud should do the same… Well, at least Bud can play without worrying about being left-handed![…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Damn knots… Today’s song is from… okay, don’t laugh… Neil Diamond. Actually a fun song from him somewhere around 1979. Fitting for today’s comic as Bud is trying to get into Lorraine’s jeans for a whole ‘nother reason then most[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
First off, it’s great to be back from my week off. I missed drawing our struggling quartet and it was fun to get back into the drawing routine. Some “screen time” for Robyn and Jeff! Yay! And Bud is not[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Gotta love Jeff, our resident stoner… Bud looks none too with it either… and the band’s name is simply “Plan 9” and this is thanks to a special friend of mine from Australia! Oh, and the movie… worst movie EVER. […]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Before you 80’s children start giving me crap about today’s comic title, it is NOT the Journey song, but the a great little rocker from the Dave Clark 5… Who? No, not the Who, but the Dave Clark 5. They’re[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I love the first frame… think hard to the beginning of this year… Paul McCartney’s 1973 hit “Hi, Hi, Hi” was actually banned on a lot of AM stations here in the USA. Apparently even though Paul “cleverly” spelled the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
And to finish today’s title: “…to the show that never ends!” Karn Evil #9 Part 2 or some nonsense like that from Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s “Brain Salad Surgery” Cool album cover. So, what did you do on your “vacation”[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Seems doing an “Abbey Road” take-off is mandatory for rock and roll comics like 1977. I wasn’t about to actually draw them crossing Abbey Road mainly as it’s been over-done, and I’m not drawing all those damn cars in the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
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[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
