Last evening, a bunch of us went up to Hollywood to see the first of six presentations of the Oddball Comics Show by my longtime buddy Scott Shaw! Scott has amassed a great collection of comic books that cause you to stare and wonder, "What the hell were they thinking?" Some are hilarious even without the scathing commentary Scott provides.
He's done this for years at comic book conventions, often to packed houses that love every minute. You have five more chances to see him do it, Saturday nights at 8 PM at the Oh My Ribs! comedy theater up on Santa Monica Boulevard near Cahuenga. Each week, he also has a special guest to provide some additional play-by-play and last night, it was me. Next week, it'll be animation authority Jerry Beck and Scott is also promising some of his racier covers.
The theater is not large so you might want to reserve seats now. I promise you will laugh and laugh a lot.
P.S. In case you can't read the word balloons on that Betty and Me cover on your monitor, she's saying, "Archie, did you have any trouble rescuing me?" And he's saying, "I sure did, Betty! I had to beat off three other guys!" Like I said: What the hell were they thinking?
