I was a little kid in the 70’s, but I don’t really remember seeing bell-bottoms. However, if you check any sketch books, doodles, or cartoons that I drew back then, you’ll see I drew everyone with bell-bottoms. That can still be seen in my toons nowadays. Just look at the silhouettes of Kidd and Geezer in that last panel. Specifically the ankle area. I think the trauma was too much for me and I blocked the memory of bell-bottoms from my mind.
In other news… This is strip number 100! To celebrate, I’ve redone the site with some new colors and graphics. No major changes. I did include some new banners if anyone wants to link to the strip.
Thanks for reading! See ya in the funny papers!

I think there was a law and the Fashion Police would enforce it.
He’s not proud of it now, by I’ll bet back in the 70s he was just swingin’ in those things!
Congrats on the 100!
Wow! You could steal puppies with those things!
Congrats on #100, Frank!
That’s probably how those puppy mills got started. Will the bell-bottom crime spree never cease?!
