Hell’s Angels, the Iowa chapter.

They run thier bikes on bio fuel: made from corn.

Look out B.O., it’s Eric Von Zipper.

These guys will take care of “big red” when they take B.O. home. Then they’ll relieve the Plenty’s of all those green bags.

Uh oh … did he just run into that band “Gay Bikers on Acid”???

“Out of frypan into flames”.

I think B.O. Plenty is on the road to OZ.

margueritemPro says: Hell’s Angels, the Iowa chapter. Would that be Purgatory’s Angels, Marg?

watch out if it IS eric von zipper……he will give him ‘the finger’!

How can someone on a bike be taller than B.O.?

B.O.’s beard has become more controlled over the years. But the hat never changes.

And the nation that controls magnetism will control the world.

That hat on that motorcycle is just NOT going to work out.

Oh sure, go ahead! Lets see how silly we can get.

In panel two, why is B.O. suddenly reduced to only six inches high? (At first I thought, “perspective,” but since the road doesn’t appear to get narrower, we must assume that the little figure is a six-inch person just a few feet ahead of the wheel…)

And let’s not even mention that the artist clearly knows nothing about motorcycles… or physics, for that matter…

The Village People must be in town.

It’s the 2nd pretty good strip in a row! Of course the idea of a chopper (extreme front fork rake in panel 2) having dual headlights and a bunch of extra running lights is more than a little ridiculous, but only people who know something about motorcycles will notice that. The plot is advancing!

Of course I expect it’s just a fluke and tomorrow’s strip will return to the usual horrors, but let’s enjoy the respite while we can …
