Added DiffLines:

This comic deals with the adventures of four buddies who decide to start a rock group. It reflects a slightly embellished account of real events in the younger life of creator W.Byron Wilkins (assisted by his active imagination and a well-tuned sense of the absurd). It is set in 1977, hence the title, with flash-forwards to the later mature life of AuthorAvatar C. "Bud" Chambers, who in the present day is a widowed father of a teen daughter, wondering where his life went.

!!tropes inexpertly played by the creators of the critically declaimed sixth worst album of the 1970's include:

* AuthorAvatar: "Bud" Chambers is a bass player, as was Byron.
