I’m interrupting Lorraine’s work story just for a bit… she returns on Monday! A very good friend of mine and fellow webcomic creator Antoine Gagnon has been a bit under the weather of late and also gone through a few stressful things in life this year, so I wanted to do something to cheer him [...]
Archive for ‘1977 Comics’
Hairstylists of the world ASSEMBLE!! And rid the world of smart-ass young men! Who can’t dig a chick with a chainsaw? Unless she’s gonna turn you from a rooster to a hen… A little 70s nod today with the “Six Million Dollar Man” showing up on the boy’s t-shirt. SMDM was everywhere in the 70s [...]
(Due to switching hosts, Friday’s comic posted late. Go take a peek!) Revenge is a dish best served cold… it is very cold in 1st grade… Lorraine Strikes Back on Wednesday. Yes, when I came up with the name “Hairway to Heaven” I immediately Googled the name and indeed found a number of hair salons [...]
This week, I moved 1977 to a new host (Dream Host for the curious). At this point in time, the comic site has over 400 comic posts and well over 5500 comments. Add in all the attachments, etc., and you’ve got yourself one whale of a job when moving the site. With WordPress/ComicPress sites, there’s [...]
First, welcome my son’s 8th grade class to the webcomic. Adam started school today and all his friends (well, the boys anyway) sneak a peek at the comic when they can. “Hey, boobies!” is what they mostly snicker at. Well, here’s some boobies for you boys! Enjoy! We end up at the hair salon on [...]
Tonight, on a very special 1977 the Comic… Bull. But I really liked this one, I even took out the “joke” in the third panel. It originally had Robyn in the background running with her hair still on fire. It did several things I think to detract from the comic. One, it really made Lorraine [...]
Heh, Ms. Crabby Pants… I tinkle a little every time I say that… Beware those damn BIC lighters… they can set fire to just about anything. Hair burns fast and stinks up the place as well. Robyn is gonna want to move in with Bud and Jeff when this is all said and done. Monday, [...]
Sometimes shit happens, and who you gonna call? Not Lorraine… I spent more time on this damn strip then most of the others combined. I fussed and fussed over Robyn’s position, expression, her hand, her foot, the damn engine… then I even re-drew Lorraine’s face in the third panel as well. All in all, I [...]
The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get
by Byron on August 16th, 2010If you’re new to the comic, you can find where Jeff’s car went “boom!” by clicking here! So, what did Jeff drive the night before? Hmm… Only stoners know for sure. Joe Walsh is one helluva guitarist and one crazy son of a bitch. Crazy in a good way. In 1973 I picked up his [...]
I grew up with my fair share of toys. Some were destroyed due to my being an overly sugar-fortified young boy, but a lot of my toys were lost to the constant moving we did. My Dad, being a teacher, moved sometimes on a yearly basis (we moved twice in 1969, great…). So as we [...]
