And to finish today’s title: “…to the show that never ends!” Karn Evil #9 Part 2 or some nonsense like that from Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s “Brain Salad Surgery” Cool album cover.
So, what did you do on your “vacation” from the comic? A lot, mainly house stuff and regenerated myself to doing 1977 5 days [...]

And they lived happily ever after… Our girls are a bit naughty, now aren’t they? And good for you Chuck… keeping your hair nice and soft by rinsing it with beer! What a guy!
Quick story, as I was never lucky enough to have two girls in the shower with me. BUT… my freshman year there [...]
Men and our stomachs. Now, do you take sex over a Grand Slam breakfast… come on, you thought about it, you know you did… Breakfast for sure. Lasts longer and is more satisfying, right ladies? Yep.
This is one of the rare times I’ve used silhouettes. Mainly I like to draw the characters and feel using [...]
And they say guys are perverts! Good for y0u, Lorraine! We’ll be seeing a lot more of Chuck as they days progress here…
I finally was able to see the new Star Trek last night. Now, first, I am a fan of the Star Trek films with the original cast, particulary Wrath of Khan and Undiscovered [...]
I have an adage I go by, and it is quite simply “Professionals Steal, Amateurs Copy” which by that I mean nothing is new or original. All you have to do is look at the Hollywood system and realize that the biggest films are merely “rebooting” old ideas.
Okay, every one out there who played bass in bands in the late 70s AND did not find out what a “rubber” was until their FRESHMAN year in college, raise your hands… Okay, just me, but it’s the truth. In short, my Mom was an ER nurse and she called things by their proper terms… [...]
And didn’t someone just say I owned everyone for continuing the comic in color? Never tell me the odds…
I saw a great little single panel comic that was done in Film Noir style and have wanted to do a similar bit for 1977. But the subject? Hmmm? Well, the comic is based on Sex, Drugs [...]
And with that, the shower brush is put away… well, for a while at least.
Sorry for the delay, but that happens. I do not keep a buffer of any sorts as I like being able to react to reader’s comments to the comic. Had I had a one month, or even a one week buffer, [...]
Welcome back Robyn and someone with some common sense.
I’ve known several women who have faced the challenge of raising a child on their own, and it is not an easy task. In this case Rose just assumed Robyn was curious about her age and how she ended up single. Nope. Our drummer girl merely wanted [...]
I love Jeff… “What? Oh!” I laugh my ass off everytime! Our favorite stoner indeed…
The Cars 1978 self titled album was a real kicker. I use to play “Good Times Roll” in the last bar band I played in down in Champaign/Urbana, Illinois, or the good ol’ University of Illinois. Yeah, big deal, I went [...]
Some Mom’s might think it’s an okay present…
I was asked a while back if I was going to dip into the Yes catalog and today’s comic title should answer that with a big YES. 1977’s “Going For The One” is perhaps their best, but lesser known albums. It featured the return of Rick Wakeman on [...]
This answers Bud’s daughter’s question if he’d “ever seen Grandma Peterson naked?” And, well, that’s a yes.
I chose “Mother” by Pink Floyd from “The Wall” not only because of the obvious title, but because in the song the “mother” of the main character really messes with his mind. I’d think seeing your girlfriend’s mother, who [...]
Who’s your favorite fire breathing pet Pagoda Dragon? POCO! Named for a southern-rock band out of the 70s (duh), Poco brings a more surreal aspect to 1977 the Comic, and I just love drawing little critters. I am seriously considering doing a spin-off of the adventures of Poco and the squirrels. I’d like to animate [...]
Take away the women, and this story is basically true for me. In a nutshell… my freshman year in college, my parents moved basically across town. I came home at Christmas, got drunk and came home to the WRONG house. My dad was notorious for shutting off the electric garage door opener to force you [...]
And now back to 1977… no technology allowed, please.
Bud’s daughter is school age, say a senior in high school around 18 or 19. So we’re hinting at what happens with Bud and Lily. All we know is they meet now and at some point get married in 1987. Hmmm…. I will have to write the [...]
One more time, with gusto… It was…Okay, one more than back to the 1977 time line.
My kids ask me why I acted the way I did back in the day and my usual reply is “It was the 70s.” Like that’s an excuse for being drunk/high all the time for most of 1977. But, it [...]
Oh, I bet you didn’t see that coming… I’m a sneaky little shit sometimes!
We’re back to the future for a moment or two here, then back to the 1977 story. I’m also seeing if you all are paying attention! If not, sneak back to the first three comics of this year and you’ll [...]
