Ants

Byron — Wed, 22 May 2013 06:01:00 +0000

This hit me and I had to draw it. We get ants every year in our kitchen and every year we try something different. Haven’t tried rice yet, but I very well may. Though our stupid cats will probably play with the stuff before the ants eat it. No guarantees, but I’m going to try [...]

Open Invitation

Byron — Mon, 13 May 2013 06:01:00 +0000

I said I might be back, and well, sure as you’re sittin’ there, I will be. Starting July 1st, I’m drawing a page a week for the rest of the year, but you won’t see them until it’s published in February of 2014. I will put up teasers here and there so you know I’m [...]

Down The Road

Byron — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 06:01:00 +0000

In short, it’s time to say Good-bye… Yes, the time has come to retire Bud and the gang to the comic vaults and move on down the road. I’ve been drawing Bud since 2007. Six years is a long time and a short time. I have over 500 comics here and a lot of great [...]

Hyacinth House

A bit of fun at the expense of my fellow comic artists who are plagued by the need to establish where your characters are in the comic, but you only have 3 or 4 panels in which to accomplish this. I, for the most part, ignore the “establishing shot” rule unless I have the room. [...]

Gabh Mo Leithscéal

Another year, another St. Patrick’s Day with our favorite Irish rock drummer, Robyn. Today’s comic title, according to Google, is an Irish phrase meaning “excuse me.” So, Bud gets a little mischievous when he’s drunk. Sounds about right to me. Steve Martin released “Let’s Get Small” in 1977 and one of the more famous bits [...]

Even In The Quietest Moments

Byron — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 06:01:00 +0000

Even a beauty like Lorraine has her faults. Besides setting her friend’s hair on fire, or dumping drinks on Hugh Hefner, it seems her system can’t handle the spicy Italian foods she so loves. Raise of hands… who’s actually done this? Come on, you know you have. Sure, not as loud as Lorraine, but at [...]

Day Tripper

Byron — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:01:00 +0000

May be an old joke, but then, I’m an old fart, so I’m allowed. New to this short story? Click HERE to read it from the beginning. And that ends Lorraine’s career as a Playboy bunny. These guys can’t keep jobs, can they? I had a lot of fun drawing today’s comic. One, I [...]

Lookin’ Out My Backdoor

Byron — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 07:01:00 +0000

Your resident Old Fart Cartoonist has been on some wonderful -legal- drugs this past week and between the muscle relaxers and anti-depressants they put me on, I’m falling asleep like every few hours. Both drugs warn of drowsiness as a side effect, and they were right. So, you will get the inks and colors Friday… [...]

Keep Your Hands To Yourself

Byron — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 07:01:00 +0000

You know how dangerous rabbits can be… especially the ones with big sharp teeth. Run away! There’s a comic WAY back in the archive where Lorraine snaps their agents hand in her buttocks as he tries to grab her ass. Once of those comics I would love to redraw someday… Anyway, today I will be [...]

She’s Just My Style

Byron — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 07:01:00 +0000

Now wouldn’t Lorraine be just the perfect Playboy bunny? Damn straight! — (Inks and colors Tuesday) Had a Chicago Playboy Club Membership in 1979. My then college roommate and I thought we’d make it a road-trip one weekend, but sadly we never got there (strip clubs in Peoria had to do… uh, yuk). Lost that [...]
