Well, like George Lucas himself, I finished this comic, then decided I wanted to “improve” it by adding some “special effects” and re-releasing it. But being as I didn’t want to wait 20 years to post a newer version of this comic, I have posted the “new” version here, and the “original” at my deviantART [...]

And now they’ve seen “Star Wars.”
As a parent, I’ve always thought the Jedi Mind Trick would be a cool way to teach your kids. “Don’t pee on the seat… monsters will eat your penis…” But alas, the Force does not flow with me.
No real trivia today, except I saw “Star Wars” TWELVE times [...]
Jeff sarcastic? Nah…
Switch out today… the title is a group who had a hit in 1970 called “Venus.” And my Mom, God-bless her little soul, thought they were saying “I’m your penis, I’m your desire…” Okay, I was 13, Mom, but I don’t think AM radio of the day would let a group [...]
Having grown up around older sisters… I know first hand they can be REALLY gross when they want to be. My middle sister is a champion belcher and can take on entire biker crowds at bars and blow them away… I had such good role models as a child…
This is my contribution to a long [...]
It is rare that I can take on a current event in the comic, as well, it’s in 1977… but when our friends from “Lost” stumbled into 1977 this week… they were asking for this.
The title of the comic is not a song nor is it gibberish. Hints: Look at the title of [...]
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 title “HI” the meaning was clearly “HIGH” and we can’t have pop songs telling our youth [...]
St. Patrick’s Day. Beer. Puke. All makes sense…
Our favorite Irish-Catholic drummer is once again bringing in the spirit of the day with a much better comic then last year’s (check the archives).
Here in Chicago the river should be running green as will be the McDonald’s milkshakes and beer. I’ll have my Mountain Dew sitting nearby [...]
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 known for the song “Glad All Over” that’s played at sports stadiums a lot these [...]
Ah, Jeff… what can we say, eh?
I think this is a great example of what the entire series is all about… the day to day happenings of our gang in 1977. Oddly enough, it doesn’t feature the other three at all and yet strikes me at the moment as the “nail on the head” of [...]
Bud is doing what I spent a majority of my “free” time in the mid to late 70s… soldering. I built a lot of my own stuff, including a neat little audio mixer from scratch. I built three synthesizers from kits and after those, I put away the soldering iron for a long time.
“Pictures at [...]
An avid reader (Phil!) asked me last week what had become of Jeff’s pets. I had a story arc that was to explain where they are presently (as Jeff’s house is at the moment condemned) but with the start of the new year and the “BIG” story, I essentially put that on the back burner.
Rest [...]
Thank God for rowdy chicks… and beer…
Any Chicago rocker from the 70s remembers fondly Off Broadway (USA) and their 1979 hit “Full Moon Turn My Head Around” I have the single! Yes, I bought 45s even at age 22. I was broke, okay? Great rocker and I guess they still play now and then. A [...]
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. So bad, it’s great. Ed Wood was notorious for making films CHEAPLY plus showed no [...]
