If you would like to ‘favorite’ the strip, (and maybe the sketch, too), simply log in and click on the ‘Favorite’ star directly above the strip. Mr. McEldowney very kindly asked for us what purpose is served by favoriting, and this was the answer:
I asked my editor at Gocomics about the purpose of “favoriting” a strip. Her answer was this: “‘Favoriting’ allows people following you to see what comics you like. ‘Favorited’ comics also show up under your profile, and allow us to see what comics people are enjoying.”
Basically, I think it provides a method for spreading the word.

When you’re good, you’re good, and Dru gives a perfect example of that. Love how her skirt and shoes match her eyes.
Sisyphos said, 7 months ago

Oh, soooo fine! Dru drool drips from my mouth, which hangs agape (and that ain’t Greek for love, friends!)….

Kinda reminds me of Fred Astair dancing with the hat-rack.
jml58 said, 7 months ago

A nice litle something Dru´s almost not wearing.
Fairportfan said, 7 months ago

I don’t think i’ll be making a flicker of this one. There’s only one real difference i can see, and it might come off a bit risqué as a flicker…
Sisyphos said, 7 months ago

“Last night” I was going suggest this (Julie London, Sway) for Dru’s number, but now it seems too tame!

Radical-Knight, kinda reminds me of Cyd Charisse. Dru, do do that voodoo that you do so well…
Fairportfan said, 7 months ago

I bet Lena would be jealous of Dru’s improvements.

And that must be one happy mike stand.

They often/usually do when she’s picking her own outfit rather than picking it out of someone’s fantasies; just as Pib prefers green, Dru likes red.

I don’t think Astaire got quite as … ummm … friendly with the hat tree as Dru does (bottom left)…
Sisyphos said, 7 months ago

Couldn’t find the red dress, but here is Cyd Charisse dancing a hot fantasy number from Sombrero (1953):

Welcome back JonD.

That’s quite the gownless evening strap…
Sisyphos said, 7 months ago

On the other hand, this scene with Cyd, in red dress and black opera-length gloves, from The Band Wagon (also 1953), with Fred Astaire, works for me:

I really need to find where she does her shopping!

She’s not bad, Brooke just Dru her that way.
Mikkail said, 7 months ago

“Nice dress, Dru.”

“This old thing? Just something I threw on.”

“You nearly missed…”
Gweedo Murray said, 7 months ago

You’re welcome marg and .cc.
White girls can go doo doo doo… too. It just wouldn’t sound as good. The Cyd Chalisse (Charisse) dance by the statue looked pretty Good. If only Edda were that tall. Such good moves for so long of limbs. I suspect there isn’t much story line as those kinds of pictures are more about terpsichorean. Mom loved those kinds of flicks and was probably a fan of Cyd. Didn’t pay attention as a number of her interests were outside my ken. Now if there were a common binder like a pibgorn strip involved.. who knows.

If Billy or Abe Minsky were still
around, would this kid get booked!!
Saskfan said, 7 months ago

Andy Capp has been sighted on the couch here too, so it’s fine to mention it in his strip.

Now, as to Dru and today’s um, strippppp: Oh, MY… my, uh, what was I saying? Oh yeah: how am I supposed to get to sleep now?!?

Joe: I’m not sure I can brook that pun. :)
Saskfan said, 7 months ago

How about julie London singing “Go Slow”? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWZkRNEULi4&feature=related

Sorry, don’t do tiny URLs…

Mikkall, that’s a lovely description!
LLeRay said, 7 months ago

I think she designs her own wardrobe, ejcapulet.

To me, it looks like she’s doing Life is a Cabaret or Money Makes the World Go Round like Liza Minnelli.

This might be Nat’s dream that Dru has created/invaded.

But I got one he||uva wallpaper out of it!

Yes, i said i wouldn’t, but someone said i should, so i did.

Two new flickers:

She has legs that are well worth a stare. She is packing (after a fashion) a pair of 38s. And though I’m pretty sure she doesn’t need, or have, a gun, she WILL be Trouble. I didn’t know Miss Cloverly could sing.

A great song.

Back in the 80s, Lou was adamant he wouldn’t do videos.

So one day (this was back when MTV actually played more videos than anything else) i’ve got MTV on and i hear some familiar chords, and i look, and it sure looks like it must be a Lou Reed video:

Gweedo Murray said, 7 months ago

Okay so the show number looks a little Frisky in Flicker font. The MASTER..ER..ER. is now building for the flicker work up. Wonder how far he’ll go? No question how far people in here will go…
Lou can duck and weave the grungy streets of New York on one of those things.
Fairportfan said, 7 months ago

I just posted a revised version of the flicker at http://electronictiger.net/avail/flick/090420.htm

The image you see when you click the mouse was too tall.

The new one - from Jen Breeden’s Devil’s Panties {http://devilspanties.keenspot.com/} is great; it’s Jen’s portrayal of her own reaction to the punchline (background, last panel) that really makes it funniest for me.
Fairportfan said, 7 months ago

Silly me!

I forgot to mention that virtually everything associated with the two new flickers - including the comics themselves - is probably NSFW to a greater or lesser degree.
yankeeharp6 said, 7 months ago

porn lite
Sisyphos said, 7 months ago

Excellent flicks, fairportfan (and luckily I checked them out in time to see both versions of the one you changed). EDIT: interesting to note, too, that Dru’s cleavage is actually more explicit in the finished art than in the sketch….

Interesting that Reed would do a commercial when he was resisting videos….

**Sisyphos says:

I think that the actual video for Walk on the Wild Side, when it came out, was very similar - may have used some of the same footage.

(His first video, for the song Video Violence, featured a robot “Lou Reed” ripping its own face off…)

Nothing “lite” about it.

And guess what?

If you don’t like it, you don’t gotta read it!
