1977 the Comic

Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers

Byron — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 06:01:00 +0000

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 [...]

Back When My Hair Was Short

Byron — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 06:01:00 +0000

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 [...]

Short People

(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 [...]

It’s A Long Way To The Top

Byron — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 06:01:00 +0000

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 [...]

Hair of the Dog

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 [...]

The Letter

Byron — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 06:01:00 +0000

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 [...]

With A Little Help From My Friends

Byron — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 06:01:00 +0000

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, [...]

American Girl

Byron — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 06:01:00 +0000

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

If 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 [...]

Jenny Everywhere 2010

Seems there’s this chick Jenny, and she’s, like, everywhere. Here’s my vision of Jenny Everywhere for the 2010 Jenny Day. I’m including the original sketch as I actually like it better…
