Panel 1: A young boy dressed as a fifer, a white-haired superhero, and another superhero with a headband march against an American flag background. The boy and the white-haired superhero play drums, while the other superhero plays a flute. The background transitions from blue with white stars on the left to red and white stripes on the right.

Spirit of ‘76

Happy Independence Day! Before we go out and start drinking beer, eating burgers and shooting off fireworks, we wanted to take a quick break to recognize the birth of this great nation. Alex has done a great job with an homage to ’76. Hope you all enjoy it and stay safe this holiday.

I’m not sure if it’s something I should admit, but my sole reference to “Spirit of ’76” was always a Looney Tunes cartoon from my early childhood. I wish I could find it on YouTube, but I’m wrapped up in other projects.

I modeled the guy in the center after a combination of some obscure characters (something I love) such as Spirit of ’76, a successor to Captain America, and Minute Man from the Freedom Force game.

Happy Birthday America, eff yeah!
