Double Vision

What a pickle, eh?  Easy on the MILF jokes, I’m not done with this story yet!
I once dated an older woman and what fun it was too!  Not only was she older, but she was my BOSS!  Double score!  She’d give me her credit card (in 1979) and tell me to go wash [...]

You Can’t Always Get What You Want

You Can’t Always Get What You Want

And Jeff learns another lesson in life… lie.  Okay, not all the time… only when it counts.
BTW… the Bi-Cotton Rod is what I call a generic Q-Tip.  Jeff’s dad created it and is filthy rich… for those of you not quite up to speed with 1977’s back story.
Today’s comic title is one of [...]

Psycho Killer

And it’s just that easy to scare the you-know-what out of little kids.  Try it, you’ll be the hit of the mall!
1977 featured the debut album from the Talking Heads and today’s song title got a lot of attention and justly so.  iTunes calls it “smart, danceable and a littlel demented.”  Not bad [...]

I Wanna Be Sedated

OH, Lynda Carter was my favorite fantasy & poster in 1977.  I  had this HUGE poster of her as Wonder Woman… like 4×5 feet… took up a whole wall practically.  It was the conversation piece of my apartment for a while.  That and Farrah’s poster.  Ah, to be young again…
1977 saw the release of TWO [...]

Five O'Clock World

Five O'Clock World

Welcome to the offical launch of Sunday comics for 1977.  In the grand tradition of print versions of Sunday comics, the first two panels are designed to be “cut out” as a “throw away” joke.  Many newspapers would (will) cut the format of Sunday comics from 8 to 6 panels, so the first two are [...]

Fat Bottom Girls

The Polaroid SX-70 made the 70s even more wild and crazy as “swinging” folks would exchange fun little photos of each other.  Today we just text these to our friends…
I haven’t done a full-on boob joke in a while and felt I’d wrap the first week of 5 updates with a little treat for those [...]

Gimme Your Money Please Part 3

At least check the safety first, man… 
I’m starting to get into the newer format.  I like being able to tell something in a row without having to worry too much about recapping the previous comic.  If you don’t mind the smaller format 4 times a week, then I’ll keep this up.
For those of [...]

Gimme Your Money Please Part 2

Hump day comic!  And we’re not done yet! More tomorrow and then the exciting conclusion on Friday.
Super tired when I wrote this, so I’ll mention the FaceBook fan page again.  Click here and become a fan!
Enjoy and I’ll try and rest up…

Gimme Your Money Please Part 1

I use to eat an entire package of Oreos when the munchies kicked in.  Seems Bud has picked up that trait…
1973 was a great year musically, and one of the over-looked albums that year was Bachman Turner Overdrive’s first album.  It rocks for about 33 minutes and there’s not a “skip that” song in the [...]

In the Hall of the Mountain King

Happy 4/20!   Google it if you’re not “hip” to what it means…
Today starts a 5-day update schedule.  Normally I would start this on Sunday with the larger format comic, but given the punchline, it had to go up today.  But, this and the next four are tied together as one mini-story arc.  To [...]

Lazy

Okay, now this is my first attempt at the new coloring technique and it was  not too bad to do, but I’ve got some more learnin’ to do!  I’m gonna do this size format in color Monday  thru Thursday.  Sundays will also be in color but will be that BIG panel that I was using [...]

Black and White

Here’s a sample of a comic done in “pencil mode” in my drawing software.  If I were to skip the inking and coloring stage, I would save a lot of time and be able to produce 4 or 5 strips per week, with maybe a Sunday comic in color.
Now, I am asking your opinion on [...]

Speed King

It turns out Jeff becomes an engineer for NASA that heads  up the project that SLAMMED a multi-million dollar mission into the surface of Mars because someone, just someone, didn’t convert metrics into english measurments.  “Next version for SURE we’ll get it right…” Or he’ll become a Microsoft software developer…
Haven’t seen Annie in a while, [...]

Gentlemen Take Polaroids

Okay, I did A LOT this weekend, even a Sunday comic for Easter and I just ran out of steam and time.  I will update this comic at some point Monday, but until then at least we all have this.  Actually, in a more finished form, I would not mind this format.  I am a [...]

Easter Eggs For All

To celebrate a little bit of Easter 1977 style, I bring you a true fact from that year.  Yes, it was 85F here in Chicago and YES, we were out drinking in the sun.  It was a Sunday after all…
Also, to help with the Easter Egg Hunt contest going on over at WebComicPlanet.com I am [...]

Raise A Little Hell!

Today’s comic is SOOO me in 1977.  If you enjoy the 70s portions of this comic, you can thank my drinking habit from that era for spawning ideas like today.  Um, oh, Sorrento’s Pizza in Lombard, Illinois was to die for.  Deep Dish Pizza to the max.  Green Peppers, Sausage & Pepperoni was the standard [...]

Never In My Life – Part 2

Oh boy is right, Robyn.  I love how Lorraine just drops into her oblivious mode from time to time.  And I’d bet she is a good kisser…
Okay, the pots… ceramic ones.  The mugs are in the final firing this week and I’ll have images then.  Once I have those, I’ll put up pricing [...]

Never In My Life – Part 1

April 6th, 2009 | by Byron

Never In My Life – Part 1

First the title… from Mountain’s 1970 album called “Climbing!”  Great rock album, and I think one of their better tunes.  In case you don’t know… Mountain did the original “Mississippi Queen” that Ozzy covered a year or so back.
Wait just one minute, now… You are asking “What the heck are you doing here, Byron?”  And [...]

She’s Not There

Today’s comic title is from the Zombies in 1964… BUT… Santana did a cover on their 1977 album “Moonflower” and for a cover, Santana’s version is not bad!
Then… while looking  up today’s song title on iTunes, I ran across a group called “Plan 9″!  The bastards!  They were originally formed in… 1979.  Oh, so close.  [...]

Oh, Boy!

April 1st, 2009 | by Byron
Posted In: 1977 Comics
Oh, Boy!

OH BOY!!  Buddy Holly’s 1957 hit never was so popular as when Quantum Leap fans would edit badly recorded VHS footage to the song as infamous Sam Beckett would say “Oh, boy…” as he leaped into yet another body (when did this man sleep?).
For April’s Fools Day, a nice nod to one of my favorite [...]
