Here’s where I get creative in drawing naked people and not show all the naughty bits. A fun way of sneaking in that there is a Member’s Only area here and yes, I will have the uncensored versions of these comics posted there (as soon as I finish them). Lorraine and Robyn show up Wednesday. Prepare your magnifying glasses.
Speaking of the Member’s Area here’s an important note: Do not Log-In here at the Comic site, the Member’s site is a completely separate website, so go there and *then* log-in. And if your password does not work, click the “Lost my password” link and the site will send you a new one. In the transfer, it is asking everyone to update their passwords. I will be contacting everyone who joined last year at this time and see if you wish to renew. Expect an email soon.
And… you may have noticed the Comic site is a bit… well, lighter now. Yes, the entire 2008 comics have been removed. One, I hate how I drew back then, and two, the stories I started never really got finished (thus why we’re back at Sunny Acres, doing it right this time). So, the comic starts with Old Bud telling his daughter the story of 1977, which is not a bad way to start the comic. I am going to put those 150 comics in a digital eBook with a ton of extras by Summertime. Members will get it free, and everyone else can buy it. Probably be like $1.99 since it’s gonna be like near 200 pages.
The Doors had several great radio hits, my favorite being “Touch Me” (which would have been a fun title for today if I were being naughty). But, I chose “Hello, I Love You” as Bud meets Mindy… and she’s an eyeful.

Nice way to make an enterence for a gig, Bud.
Yet, I do wonder how can the gang not take advantage of this gig….
You’ll find out soon…
Oooooh, she’s a red head!
Collars and cuffs? 
Perfect match…
Where to look, where to look?! Why DIDN’T I wear my sunglasses?
Jeff is in like Flint then…
Welcome back, my friend.
Glad to be back!
Only Bud would be lucky enough to find a nudist camp where the participants are worthy of a startling glare! [grin]
Yeah, I’m taking a lot of liberties with the “average” person here. There are few people who look good naked… I’m not one of them. Which explains why I hate beaches.
Ah yes, our friend Bud. Always ready with a witty line and smooth delivery.
And speaking of members only. I to hope to be able to pass that barrier someday.
Well, Bud is me, so his “smooth” delivery comes naturally.
Nudity! On the internet?! Oooh, I’m gonna’ tell on yooou!
Sorry to hear about taking down your older strips; the truth is I think we cartoonists are the only ones ashamed of seeing the old stuff. I’ve noticed that readers often like to look back to the beginning (to see where the characters came from, how the art has progressed, etc), so here’s hoping they’re not off-line for good. The book collection of older strips is a nice alternative, I suppose.
Incidentally, I didn’t mean to say I didn’t like your old stuff…in fact, I miss it already! WAAAAAA!
Well, it’s not so much how I drew them but how I *wrote* them. I didn’t have any idea how to put together a comic strip gag if my life depended on it. I was trained in television writing and that’s a whole different beast. So, it took me a while to stop thinking like a TV producer and start thinking like a comic strip artist.
I’ve had many people comment on my progression, and I do like seeing the progress myself, but even from 2009 until now there’s been a quantum leap in what I can do. I kill at hands now… next I’m working on feet. But luckily I don’t have to draw those very often.
The old stuff is not gone forever at all. It’s the stuff from 2007 that I don’t share all that much these days. Now that stuff was BAD.
Why would a naked woman startle Bud if he already knew he was at a nudist colony?
It’s one thing to know and one thing to actually SEE.
Niiiice!
Thanks! And welcome to the party , pal!
