Today strip is to remind everyone that the comic does actually take place in 1977 as I reference a rather big story from the summer of ’77.

The title is a little nod to those anime nuts who love Dragon Ball Z. My middle son has like all the DVDs and lets me in on some of the trivia behind the series. This reference is on YouTube and is pretty funny. No, I wont’ be doing the Fusion Dance anytime soon.

And a little trivia… below is a picture of my favorite shirt from, well, 1979, but I can cheat. This shirt is the model for Bud’s shirt that he wears everyday. I practically wore this shirt everyday and it died a very slow death, becoming extremely faded and worn by the time I actually decided to stop wearing it at all. Can’t find these today, nuts… Oh, it’s from National Lampoon’s Animal House.
