Enjoyed your running commentary!
ReplyDeleteHa! These were funny! Yee Godz!!
ReplyDeleteI bet if you had more time you could have found dozens more just like these!
Fun and freaky post!
Fashion crime does not pay!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are some boss threads (to utilize the parlance of today's hep youngsters).
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, I'm wondering Peter, in that first panel, is not lying on the floor in convulsive laughter...
They're great! Ken's outfit from the first panel looks like it is straight out of the 80's. I am surprised it is from 1968. Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteLove reading your blog.
Hilarious comments, Jacque!
ReplyDeleteI will not be wearing gratuitous hot-pants this Halloween... Maybe @ Thanxgiving...
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, everyone! I think we all need a little comic relief once and a while!!! I am sure there will be a sequel to this one someday! :)
ReplyDeleteAs a child of the 1970s I must admit I enjoyed gratuitous hot pants.
ReplyDeleteVery funny! I'm totally am dying for some kind of context on that last panel. He looks like a lion tamer.
ReplyDeletefrasersherman: Hot pants are pretty cool, I have to admit!
ReplyDeleteSpectergirl: Believe it or not, in the story that guy has an identical twin. There are TWO of him!!!
Oh dear, I found at least two of those outfits extremely enticing ...
ReplyDeleteGood gravy, these are amazing. Re #10: How can her heart sink? It doesn't have anywhere to go, her organs must all be mooshed up into her ribcage as it is!
ReplyDeleteThere are quite a few of those mini corsets in the '70s romances. I have yet to ever see a photo of a woman wearing one...
ReplyDeleteJacque,
ReplyDeleteFunny stuff. you must do more like this. Hillarious commentary!
Good to know that my sense of humor has appealed to people! :)
