here’s a couple panels the book I’m working on about why our parents were right and and all kids who drink the devil’s water turn bad. Incidentally, it also promotes abstinence, as I didn’t get laid in the back of a truck until I was out of high school. Hi mom!

Miraculously, that White Snake song manages to culturally represent, in a single musical ninja-leg-sweep, everything great AND everything awful about being a boozing outcast. I remember growing up in Texas, where we had a radio station who only played that one song, all day and night.
This describes my teen years exactly – except it was: musicians in vans; never drank before school probably only because we lacked imagination; and our hangout was us jamming grunge and punk tunes in older friend’s mouldy basement.
Even the song is close. Mine would be “here we go again infatuation touches me just when i thought that it would end” (wonder if anyone reading this would know who that is without having to google it)
Good times for sure.
The next book is looking good. Also, I wish got a truck as my graduation present.
Butt rock? Nooooooooooooo!
yeeeeeeesss! so much of it! what did you listen to in high school, Chopin?
I would have loved to smoke weed in high school. Because a straight A student did it. So in my high school only the popular and successful kids smoked weed. So in my case, not smoking only implies a lack of friends.
huh. well, I grew up in Northern California where everyone smoked weed, regardless of social class or popularity. You weren’t really missing anything though, just a bunch of dumb conversations in which someone will inevitably say “but if you really think about it, think about it… then it makes sense”
I listened to pretty much what I listen to now: “alternative rock”. Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More, etc. Oh, and New Wave. Yeah, I’m a dork. XD
me and my friends didn’t do the weed or drinking thing but we did find everyone at our school to be profoundly retarded. i remember a lot of sitting and laughing with a few games of sardines here and there.
The one time I really drank in high school, I had so many screwdrivers that I watched all of Children of the Corn without remembering a second of it. Then I was sick the whole next day. Which was Thanksgiving. My high school sins were not very exciting.
ha! quinn, i did the same thing but it was the first time i watched “the shining.” before the opening credits finished, i asked what movie we were watching no less then 8 times.
This describes my thirties.
Kevin Smith already did a movie about people like you. Three of them, in fact.
