2011...

...is when the next Dude-les comic will appear. Sad, I know, but there are duties that must be fulfilled (apparently) relating to the holidays. Translated, it means that for one brief month of the year we both have lives worth living, and therefore our note pads and drawing tablets gather a thin film of dust until they are shaken off next week. Until then, we bid you adieu, and we leave you with the inspiring story of an individual who proved once and for all that man is faster than frog:

peace and hair grease!

Addendum

In case my explanation of the Spiderman fiasco was a little confusing, this Taiwan news report has generously offered to clarify the situation:

Merry Christmas!

The 65 million dollar man

Remember that time that Julie Taymor made a spiderman musical? Remember the time it was the most expensive musical ever produced, beating the previous title-holder by roughly $40 MILLION!?!? Sounds awesome right? Well apparently not. From what I've read, the plot revolves around some greek goddess of spiders giving Spiderman powers and then getting mad at him and creating supervillains to fight him. riiiiiight.

Also Uncle Ben's death is apparently not important to the story. And the spider that bites Peter Parker gets its own song. And the show is narrated by a "Geek Chorus," a group of nerds who tell the story while arguing about comic-related minutia. Need I go on?

Regardless of the questionable content, the biggest hoy-paloy surrounding the show is undoubtedly the absurd amount of dangers that all of the performers are in every night when they perform it. Two actors were injured before the show went into previews, the actress playing Arachne (the evil greek goddess) got a concussion the first week of previews, and now this...

So now this guy is hospitalized with broken ribs and internal bleeding, and performances have been cancelled left and right in order to buy time to put some new safety measures in place. And this is a week or so after they anounced ANOTHER delay in order to bring Bono and The Edge back to re-write the shitty music they crapped out the first time they went to work. Add as the poop cherry on the placenta ice cream the fact that this show will cost $1 million a week to run and we have quite possibly the most troubled show ever created.

I want to see it! SOOO BAD!

Maybe because it could close immediately and if I don't see it right away I'll be SOL until high schools get the rights to perform it. =P Or maybe because I really like spiderman and I really like theater, and the fusion of the two is just too enticing to pass up! Even if it sucks, which I'm pretty sure it will. It can be amazing at alot of things (visuals, stunts, special effects) and still be a complete piece of shit musical.

I hear the guy who plays JJJ is good, so maybe that'll make it worth seeing... maybe....

Also no comic this week. Bry is nervous about some mystery job that he expects to hear from at 1:30AM. I dunno, I'm just repeating what I've made up based on a couple of cryptic IMs.

Snow Day!

No comic tonight, though it's not due to snow. There's no snow involved as far as I know. I'll post some cool shit tomorrow, but until then, go see Black Swan. It's worth watching Natalie Portman's terrifying descent into madness in order to see her get it on with Mila Kunis. Well... it's ALMOST worth the absolute batshit insanity that ensues...

The fine and fancy Forties

Damn advertisements are 300% louder than the show that's on.  What is the point.
And yeah, Duncan has chest abs he works out that much.
