Daily Comic Journal: June 21, 2023: “You Don’t Need Singers, To Make A Memorable Song.”

Chapter:

Even though I lived and listened to the radio in those days, I was still surprised to hear so many instrumental songs that were popular and made the Top 100. It showed not only that there were a variety of music on the radio, but that bands back then and musicians back then could do more than sing, that they knew how to play their instruments. To give proper credit to the songs featured in this comic:

1972 – “Popcorn” – by Hot Butter

1972 – “Dueling Banjos” – by Weissberg & Mandell from the movie “Deliverance”

1974 – “The Entertainer” by Marvin Hamlisch from the movie “The Sting”

1974 – “Music Box Dancer” by Frank Mills

1975 – “Theme from The Rockford Files” by Mike Post “for the TV show “The Rockford Files”

1973 – “Tubular Bells” by Mike Oldfield from the movie “The Exorcist” 

1973 – “Jessica” by The Allman Brothers Band

1973 – “Frankenstein” by The Edgar Winter Group

My Artwork and Designs at Hasbro 1983 thru 1989

From November of 1983 through April of 1989 I was an artist/package/toy designer at Hasbro. During those 5 years I created and illustrated a lot of artwork on toy packaging, designed a toy line and illustrated many, many images that were used by licensors for a myriad of companies that wanted Hasbro characters on their products.

This past November I was a guest at the TF Con (Transformers Convention) in Baltimore. I printed a 56 page book that collected many of the designs and illustrations of the toys I worked on to sell at that convention. Along with all the artwork, I give background stories for all of these toys.

They include:

Transformers, G.I.Joe, Air Raiders, Battle Beasts, Army Ants, Inhumanoids, Visionaries, Cops n’ Crooks

I have copies of the book left from the show that you can buy here on my site. For just $20 plus $6 to cover shipping.

(And if you order before Christmas I’ll include free,  one of the personal Christmas cards I made and sent to family & friends over the years!)

Don’t be fooled by the date on the above comic, It was posted TODAY!

This is a DAILY comic, based on everyday of my life. Because of that, having to complete a comic every day and with the inability to get ahead by completing a bunch of comics ahead of time, it becomes very easy to fall behind.

You’ll note that the comic posted today is about ELEVEN months behind, but don’t let that fool you. It’s new and was posted today. I write notes at the end of each day, about what occurred in the previous 24 hours, so I have written material for every comic. Consider that a script.

So when you read the comic that talks about what happened to me on the date written on the comic, you’re assured that it actually happened. Albeit several months ago.

I have 10 years of comics archived (over 3,000) and if you haven’t read them yet, they’re new to you. I know that digging through past years of comics could be a pain, so to help you out I’ve broken down each year and a link that’ll take you directly to the January 1st comic of every year so you can begin reading each year from the beginning.

I’ve got Ten Years of Comics posted now…

If you’d like to read specific years you can start reading each year at the following links:

• February 17, 2010– I began my comics this year and to be truthful a lot of these early ones are pretty sloppy. BUT – this year I was involved in a car accident, my Uncle Al died as did my cat Oscar.

• 2011 – Was a roller coaster year. There was the good; I adopted Two Kittens and fell in love with Maria. But this year also was the year my father passed away.

• 2012 – Started well, but by the summer my heart was broken and I had to dive back into the dating world, again and again.

• 2013 – Began with the completed construction of my new Sun Room, had a colonoscopy and tried running for 365 straight days.

• 2014 – I met a woman who I thought might be the one, started playing Quizzo and began to be betrayed at work.

• 2015 – This year, well, it may well be the worst of my life.
