Well, rock me like a hurricane, Trevor Kent of Taka Comics has graced 1977 with a guest comic strip! The genious that is Trevor has managed to put the entire storyline of 1977 into three panels. This is how MOST musicians end up. Whatever happened to the members of Frijid Pink, the one-hit wonders from [...]

Seems doing an “Abbey Road” take-off is mandatory for rock and roll comics like 1977. I wasn’t about to actually draw them crossing Abbey Road mainly as it’s been over-done, and I’m not drawing all those damn cars in the background!
I actually have some logic to the order in which the 1977 gang appears in [...]
And here it is. Late for sure. Bud get’s his just punishment today, but I don’t think I’d want to be around when they do finally cut him out!
With today’s comic, I have decided to take a break. Yes, I’m going to put the comic on hiatus. The comic will return on Sunday, [...]
No, I’m not doing the color vs. B&W topic again… I had to cover for a client on a live broadcast last night plus when I got home BOTH my older sons were in the house and “wanted to chat” so life kinda got in the way. I will finish this up today, but not [...]
Google Major Matt Mason if you are not aware of this ultimate action figure from the late 1960s. Supposedily based on “real” NASA equipment, a young boy of 10 (me) really dug good ol’ Matt. But this was the day before injection molding made some really cool looking toys and Maj. Mason suffered from really [...]
And let the penis jokes begin… Inspiration for this came from “Animal House” and a very similar scene… The “real” Chet (my real life friend) probably never used that particular pick-up line, but I know he thought about it… and I’m sure his Mr. Happy works just fine under pressure…
Aerosmith’s “Toys In The [...]
And that was the worst thing, man… If you couldn’t get Frenched on the first date, it was like over already. Bummer for Chet… Let’s see how he does tomorrow!
“Welcome To My Nightmare” was not one of my favorite Alice Cooper albums (those would be Billion Dollar Babies & School’s Out) but the appearance Alice [...]
I wrote three versions of this comic before deciding on this version. Bud’s expression and little dance in the final frame makes it for me. The other versions were essentially following the guitar from manufacturing to several owners then to Bud, but I didn’t like the fact that the bass was not new and always [...]
The belt sander getting away from the operator and running down the floor or hallway has been done many a time for sure… and like a pie to the face, I laugh every time I see it, but I wanted something a little different for Bud. He’s been putting people in harm’s way all week [...]
How is it some people just seem to know every damn thing? My “Chet” was one of those folks and the really irritating part was he did know everything. What class in high school did I sleep through that these types seem to know a sprocket from a socket? Lesson one in home demolition… look [...]
Thanks to the best readers in the webcomic world, I was able to rewrite my original comic of Chet getting shot by a nail gun and turned it into this. I couldn’t find any good sources of nail guns in the 70s and reader not_a_monkey sent me some great links and a photo that I [...]
The pisser of this comic was originally Bud was to have shot a nail through a hat Chet would have been wearing, but it seems nail guns didn’t come around until the 1990s or so. At least I couldn’t find any references to them before 1990, so I changed it to a saw, which is [...]
