Erin's Hot Tub Party
Added 2018-04-15 22:03:58 +0000 UTCHere's a little flashback for you. If you lived through the '80s (in America, at least), you remember Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers. Their TV commercials were always funny. Not hilarious, but droll.
Anyway, I sent pictures of B&J coolers to Tzratzk when I wrote up the spec for this illustration. They were ubiquitous at parties in the mid- and late-'80s, at least among my crowd.
Now let's talk about the real focal point of the scene. Erin wanted Mark and Leah to meet Christy, so she organized a party. She has her own motives, but who cares? I mean... really.
Kinda makes me wish I'd had a sister growing up. Ya know? Then again, the grass is always greener, so to speak. But I digress.

I think that's Mark, Paul, Christy, Leah, Erin. (because I doubt Christy would have her hand on Leah's ass.)

2018-04-16 08:33:16 +0000 UTCYeah, but wine coolers in general are passé, so they don't advertise much anymore (not on TV, at least). But back in the '80s, B&J commercials were up there with the Wendy's "Where's the beef?" lady and the Energizer bunny.
