Joenis Norac, a very talented and funny artist, has graced 1977 the Comic with this year’s Halloween comic entry! I had an idea a while back that you never see stoner zombies, we’re just too laid back to become these angst filled zombies who want to munch on living brains. So, I tossed the idea [...]

Yes, most bosses are not that brilliant, are they? A bit more Devilish fun for Friday as Bud arrives. Did I plan for all these devil themed comics for the Halloween week? Hell no.
I’m self-employed and have an idiot for a boss…
1977 was a great year for music and Meat Loaf’s “Bat Out [...]

Now we know what the Chicago Cubs and Styx have in common. Cursed by the Devil herself…
I filled this one with all types of references, as I’m a big fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and love their really deep references they would toss out. Today’s comic has a few of it’s own. Check your [...]
Welcome to L. A., land of sunshine, smog, earthquakes, mud slides, riots, high rents, grid-lock traffic, and bubble headed bleach blondes trying to make it big as waitresses, um, actresses. Why do people want to live there again? Well, the gang has just “motored stately into big L. A.”, we’ll find out on Monday.
Foghat’s 1975 [...]
Never mess with a Mother, even a swinging one! I gotta get Lorraine back to being a Brunette, too much blonde, even for California! They’re on their way to meet the Devil/Producer. Mayhem will ensue.
The first time you heard Robert Plant’s wailing cry “Aaaaaaaah-ah!” at the beginning of Led Zeppelin’s 1970 single “Immigrant Song” you [...]
Oh my God! Lorraine’s gone blonde! I would suspect not for long… we’ll see. Hang on to your ass, Mr. Bergstrom, there is nothing worse than a woman scorned…
Enjoyed this one too much as I went nuts fixing this and that and in general spent too much time in the “sketch” mode. Getting the curves [...]
Yes, but what are the girls doing during the party? We now know what Bud and Jeff are doing. Watching two TVs at once is a real blast and a bit mind blowing even if not in an alter state. I know, I worked in Broadcast News for a couple years and we’d have feeds [...]
First, Rhonda/Brenda has come a long way since I first introduced her early last year (if you’re not up on the name thing, check out last October’s strips featuring her and the rednecks that beat up Bud). Second, yes, I picked a damn Helen Reddy song for today’s title. There are probably a hundred other [...]
TUESDAY COMIC! I have a lot to get through in this Road Trip, so I may up the the volume here a bit. We’ll see how I hold up!
Just when you think you have something good going on, someone shows up and spoils the moment for you. Happened many times in my life… especially living [...]
I never attended a “swingers” party, as we in the rock and roll business call that “gigging.” I have heard of putting your car keys in a pile and you pull out a set and get that guy’s wife/girlfriend. Rather sexist if you ask me. I ended up with our lead guitarist’s left overs most [...]
A little something for the ladies… both those in the comic and those reading it. Pool boy was modeled after me back in 1977… wait, why are you laughing? Man…
In 1978 Joe Walsh released a 9 minute masterpiece called “Life’s Been Good” I like the song for its references to the music industry [...]
“I wish they were all California girls…” Especially if they look like Mrs. Bergstrom. I’m with Bud, you don’t have to ask me twice when a hot blonde in a bikini asks me to join her by the pool (I’m still waiting…). Oh, 1965 was a great year for rock music, but the king of [...]
Did you ever have one of those days? You know, where nothing really goes right? Sunday was one of those days for me. Just tiny bits of “stuff” kept getting in my way all damn day. It was an enjoyable Fall day in Chicagoland and the wife and I started to trim some bushes and [...]
Thank goodness Bud gets most of his stuff for free, as now the gang has enough cash to finally get to California. We’ll stroll into stately Bergstrom manner on Monday, as the foursome spends some time acclimating in the San Diego sun!
Today’s comic title is a bit of a stretch. “Happy Together” by the Turtles [...]
