True story… I use to eat my bologna sandwiches with chocolate pudding on them so I didn’t have to eat my sandwich *then* eat my dessert. Hey, I was 10 years old. Also, I have no sense of smell what-so-ever (birth defect of nerve damage in olfactory senses) so I have a limited taste palette, [...]

Believe it or not, I never saw Rocky Horror in the theatres, let alone at a Midnight showing. I was at *other* type Midnight movie showings instead. I saw “Flesh Gordon” really messed up one night with a bunch of band mates. Funny as hell, especially in an altered state.
1977 saw a [...]
Long before Harold & Kumar found White Castle, we 70s rockers/stoners kept them in business. Nothing better than a 6-pack of sliders at 3:00am after a night out. For those of you not in the know, White Castle is a fast-food chain specializing in tiny little cheeseburgers you can eat in a single bite (if [...]
War of the Webcomics! … would make a great motion picture. It would certainly be better than that Tom Cruise “War of the Worlds” pile of crap a few years back… go with the originals!
Speaking of originals, who better to help a 70s rock comic declare war then Black Sabbath? None. Prepare to squash the [...]
A golden oldie for you all. Many of you were not around in 2007 as I experimented with doing this webcomic. I ended up doing 50 comics in 2007 before I “made the leap” into doing 1977 three-times a week in January of 2008. Those “classic” fifty are now in the Subscriber area. Mainly as [...]
Sounds as if David could use a little blue pill… Love the bird’s expressions. “What the hell?”
The updated site is settling in nicely. There are tons of new features I’ve yet to roll out, and will do some here and there. I’ve got a cool little random quote rotation widget that I’m going to load [...]
It must have been very cold when David went after Goliath which would explain the shrinky-dink of the statue. Lorraine decided to “enhance” David long before spam email promised *me* a bigger Mr. Happy… My only question is how do the pills know which area of your body to “enhance” or would I end up [...]
In 1977, Mike Olson, owner & manufacturer of Gnu Snowboards, made his first snowboard in shop class. You’re welcome Shaun White. While the rest of us were making ashtrays or dust pans, Mr. Olson was saying “I’m gonna make a really fat ski…” The rest is history.
Don’t know what a Dilly Bar is? Oh, man, [...]
Let it snow, man! It’s been almost two years since we’ve seen the powdery stuff here in 1977 and with this being Chicagoland, you gotta have some snow now and then. I am not trying to be too logical in the timeline with the comic, but obviously most of 1977 has taken place thus far [...]
And what a wonderful way to come back… I was reminded by my editor that this works two ways as Jeff’s parents made their millions off the Bi-Cotton Rod. I hadn’t even thought of that angle! I like this strip as it also conveys the characters are sometimes quite innocent at their roots.
Every so often [...]
Alrighty then…. after doing major work this week on client’s sites and putting out a few personal fires, last night just got clogged up with all types of stuff. So, here’s the pencil sketch of today’s comic. Inks and coloring tomorrow.
I’m bringing back Stoner Vision. As Bud smokes weed, various cartoon characters will appear. Mostly [...]
Don’t ask why they did this, they just did. Did you ever think something sounded good at first but then when you actually ate/drank it you about puked? Seagram’s and 7-Up are great together… replace the 7-Up with Mountain Dew and you’ve got barf. So, dried up Jalapenos ended up in the stash… perhaps not [...]
I will try most anything once… Jeff is becoming quite the cook it would seem. Never dropped Acid (except for the kind that comes in batteries and eats up your jeans) as my mind is already on full-tilt crazy and I don’t need anything to artificially enhance those images in my head. I’d hate to [...]
Hey, I couldn’t resist this Kiss reference… also, about as full frontal as 1977 is gonna get for the time being. I’ve been wanting to get away from boob jokes, but I had a few left in my system and thought with Valentine’s day just around the corner, I’d set the bar up a notch [...]
You can’t blame Jeff, she did ask what he was thinking…
Ray Charles is not the first thing I think of when I want to rock and roll, but one cannot ignore his sheer talent and his influences on all music forms over the decades. So today I stroll a bit from the 70s and [...]
Chet seems to be a swinger of sorts these days. Who knew nerds had it in them? Hmmm….
Oh, man, do I remember Quadraphonic as a miserable failure of an audio format. It was even worse then the Beta vs. VHS clash of the 80s. Here it was 2 vs 4 speakers. [...]
Happy Birthday to me… Oh, yeah, bolt on the handle bars to the headboard and go for a RIDE!
Been an interesting week, but here’s a good story for once! Wednesday had the makings of being a rotten day. Woke with a raging sore throat (that my youngest rug-rat gave me) and just feeling kinda icky. [...]
Another good title for today would have been “Run Like Hell” from Floyd, but I’ve been a little Floyd heavy lately, so I went with the great catch phrases from the two greatest baseball announcers ever… Jack Brickhouse and Harry Caray. Caray was over at the Sox for a while and has a bit of [...]
It’s my Birthday Week (February 5th for those new to the game), so let’s start it off with a little background on our favorite Irish drummer, Robyn McKenna. I was put under the table by more than one Irish chick back in the day and I learned quickly not to compete with them.
So, in [...]
Welcome back Chet into the comic, our overworked and overlooked computer programmer for 1977. Handy with tools too. Seems he’s looking for a way to spend his overtime.
T-shirt: “I got my Happy Ending Toy. Did you?” with Chet holding his Debbie Does Dallas Action Figure “Cheerleader Thrust Debbie” toy. Okay, how many WOULD buy it? [...]
