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 [...]
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 [...]
Okay, not many pains are worse than gettin’ your nuts in a bunch…
Check out the Facebook page (click the “F” down there on the beer bottle caps) and check out the rough draft of the updated character designs I’m working on. Time for a face-lift here at 1977 as I stretch my cartooning chops, so [...]
(Friday’s comic updated really late, you may want to click back and see the completed version)
The real moral of the story…. be REALLY careful what you ask your parents, you may NOT want to know the whole story. I know my boys don’t…
One year ago, I started this story arc with the (still) unnamed daughter [...]
Okay, I’m not changing the format… two things caused me to be late: one, a client called and it was about money, two, I blew the comic out to a “double-tall” one as this just did not fit into a 3-panel comic. Ink & color later today. Promise.
Love Robyn when she takes [...]
Boom, Boom! Out Go The Lights
September 14th, 2009 | by ByronIt’s raining a wardrobe! And perhaps a car part or two. The neighbors must be getting pissed about now. Actually I was originally going to do this from the neighbors window, but getting the neighbor, a window, and then our gang in the frame of the window as stuff rained down was [...]
This is NOT what Ben Franklin had in mind when he invented the lightning rod, but I bet you top dollar if he had thought of it, he’d done it. I mean, come on, he stood in the rain waiting for lighnting to strike a kite he was holding. The man had balls the size [...]
An old saying, who’s origin I’m not sure of, was “Ass, Gas or Grass. No one rides for free.” Thus today’s comic title. Jeff’s being a bit of an ass, and they need gas, but we’re not selling the grass! Ta-da!
When people pull stuff like what Jeff did to Bud doesn’t it make you wanna [...]
Praying to the porcelain-goddess was something I did way too much back in the late 70s. The places I’ve hung my head would make you wanna, well, toss your cookies. Bill Cosby said it best when talking about puking after drinking too much “You’d swear your shoes had come out of your mouth…” Yes indeed.
Don’t [...]
If you do not know Charlie Daniels’ 1979 hit “Devil Went Down To Georgia” then the third panel makes no freakin’ sense at all. Go listen to the song then come back and laugh!
Holy Crap! What a week. As I write this, 1977 has a44 vote lead, but another 9 hours of voting is left. [...]
Oh, Bud you’re in for some trouble… or is he? Hmmm… me thinks he just might have something up those red sleeves of his. And the Devil is hot, literally. I love the hair-band horns. Can’t mess up a girl’s hair now, can we?
I crack up every time I read the Devil saying “Oh, God!” [...]
To fellow creative brothers & sisters who have had to belly up to the bar with the devil and sign on the dotted line with a producer or manager, I give you my sympathy… for the devil! That would have been too easy of a title by the way.
From the stories I’ve heard and what [...]
Will It Go Round In Circles
August 21st, 2009 | by ByronI had just the worst day on Thursday. There seems to be a Karma around myself and Thursdays. Most of the time they go by like normal days… but then on occasion, like yesterday, the world turns upside down. It was a busy day to start with but then nothing really went the way it [...]
The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
August 20th, 2009 | by ByronDo you know how hard it is to colorize a red-headed person? Their hair is NOT red like Bud’s shirt. Son-of-a-b… Welcome a new character. You’ll find out her name tomorrow as we move on from the flame thrower bit.
Every so often, I come up with a comic title that just smacks of perfect… well, [...]
Another Music In A Different Kitchen
August 19th, 2009 | by ByronSMORES!! Anyone not know what that is… Google, man. Or take your ordinary graham cracker, add in some Hershey’s chocolate bars AND then toast your marshmallows over an open flame, then cram it all into your mouth. A real gooey mess that’s just right for burning the fingers on young cub scouts and girl scouts [...]
