I read an interview of Charles Schulz where he talked about how a comic artist worked on creating elements of the strip that readers would remember and like (Linus’ blanket for example). Today, I think I have introduced one of those recurring elements… and his name is Rodney the vibrator. I have already sketched out about a half dozen various ways Rodney will show back up in the comic (after leaving Latvia of course).
Anyway, the plane has landed and our gang is working their way through customs. For the sake of clarity, I’m not putting in Latvian terms on signs and such as the comic is done in English, so consider them “translated” on the fly from Latvian for you. You’re welcome…
The Beach Boys “Good Vibrations” was a monster of a hit back in 1966. The recording of the song spanned several months as Brian Wilson bounced back and forth from this single and the album “Pet Sounds”. In the end, the single was the most expensive recorded single to date and was edited from several different sessions. This recording technique would influence Paul McCartney and the Beatles a great deal as they would apply the same techniques while recording “Sgt. Peppers” the following year. I just like the damn song!

Hey, do you have any banners I could use to link to this site? I can make one myself, but I’d be happy to use yours if you already have ’em.

If you want something different, let me know!
First drugs, then Swedsh outfits and now Rodney the battery operated boyfriend (aka BOB).
What’s next ??? Maybe we’ll witness Delaila in Lederhosen. No, please forget that. Pretty please with a bong on top.
Oh, you meant a couple of banner ads. 🙁
I guess we’ll just have to wait for the other.
Just sent the link and the banner to my web monkey. I told her to wait for tomorrow though. She’s only half web monkey, she’s also half stress monkey.
The costumes lady should wear a miniskirted soviet era uniform for effect. Poor soviet official saying ” Don’t Irish people have anything of value, why bring religion into this and what is Rodney.” She’ll have to call local KGB or get arrested for counterban thanks Robin ruin a single mothers life.
