I have known Scott Shaw! (he spells it with the punctuation mark) for well more than half my life. Among our many points of bonding is a love not just for cartoons and comics but for bizarre cartoons and comics. There are few things we like better than to look at some inexplicable, strange comic book and wonder aloud, "What the hell were they thinking when they did that?"
Scott has actively collected such items and some years back, he began shaping them into his Oddball Comics Show, which he has presented at many a comic convention. He's been doing it so long, he started with a prehistoric device called a — let me look this up to make sure I get the name right — yes, it's a "slide projector." That was a thing some people used in the era before PowerPoint to project "slides." Don't ask me what "slides" were. I barely remember. I think they had something to do with something called "film."
Anyway, Scott would do these shows at cons and a packed hall would laugh its collective ass off…and every so often now, he gets his act together and takes it on the road. Starting April 7 and for several Saturdays thereafter, he'll be doing it at the Oh My Ribs Theater (hey, I didn't name it) in Hollywood. If you're close enough to go, you should. Here's a little trailer for the event…
