Why is Bud on the bald headed guy’s back? Why is Lorraine so forlorn? All this and more in today’s exciting “leap day” comic! Rapscallion! Look it up! Rolls right off the tongue, doesn’t it?
Well, they say it’s an “extra” day of the year and then ask how you’re going to use that [...]

The boys are in the manager’s office hoping for a full-time gig playing at the Ground Round, but end up making money anyway. Look for the subtle exchange Jeff makes!
Bud and Jeff set up for their first gig at the Ground Round Grill and Bar. In many areas of the USA, the Ground Round helped launch many a career of very unsucessful musicians. Besides playing in a balcony, there was a juke box downstairs, a TV always on, people in the bar area and [...]
…or how to eat peanut butter and celery for a month. Which I did in May of 1977 as I ran out of money and jobs.
In May of 1977, the last month of my sophomore year and the first year I lived in an apartment, I ran out of money. Budgeting was not a concept I [...]
Now, who hasn’t had this problem?
The Dating Game circa 1977. Chet stops by for a visit and keeps his testicles intact this time.
Guys will be guys, and girls are just plain nice to look at.
The boys are about to experience “girl power” to the max and the beginning of a great friendship will begin. I re-drew the first panel a couple times to get the right “angle.” And is it wrong to get turned on [...]
The ladies of 1977 move into Bud and Jeff’s neighborhood and we learn that life is ALWAYS about your point of view.
In the day, I used my 200mm telephoto lens on my 35mm camera much in the way Jeff uses his binoculars; to watch pretty women from a far. In the last apartment building I [...]
Oh yeah… the days of the munchies. I was famous for eating an entire package of Oreos after certain late night toking sessions. So much so, my roommate actually hid his Oreos as I would devour any in the apartment on those special nights.
That is the joy that is 1977… hopefully it brings back some [...]
This entry never got off the ground for me. I re-did the first frame like 3 times and I’m still not happy with it. Forgot the shading the first time around, and my first ending was nothing short of a editorial cartoon and that’s not what 1977 is all about. “Doonesbury” can do that, I’m [...]
This is part two to the country frogs comic of Monday, but I had to put in my birthday comic on the correct day! LOTS of little things in this entry, look closely at the first couple panels!
Birthday School:
Well, thanks to Martin in the UK, I now know what type of beer those silly Brits [...]
More Beatles references! And yes, it IS MY BIRTHDAY!
So, get out the fireworks and celebrate my, er, Bud’s birthday!
What could be more serene than two country bullfrogs sitting at the edge of the pond reducing the mosquito population? Well, you’ll find out in today’s comic.
I’ll probably get some crap for this, but I simply love the Three Dog Night song “Out In The Country.” I have lived on some farms in my life [...]
Jeff is so innocent sometimes…
I love Bud’s expression as he hides “his shame.” Shit-Eating-Grins are my specialty it seems!
We’ll see more of Debbie (how much more?) soon enough! Stay tuned!
