Oddball Comics hits the LA Comedy Scene

Apr 11

Posted by

Cartoonist and comics historian Scott Shaw! is taking his popular Comic-Con show Oddball Comics to a Hollywood comedy club all month long. Every Saturday night, he is presenting a slideshow of some of the silliest, weirdest and most baffling comic books known to man, and provides hilarious color commentary and background information.

Oddball Comics is appearing weekly at the comedy club Oh My Ribs! in Hollywood. Every show has a different focus or theme. This Saturday will be about sex, drugs and rock and roll. It will include a special look at the hidden (and not so hidden) sexual imagery in comics covers. Animation historian Jerry Beck will also join in on some of the commentary.

The show started last Saturday night and runs weekly until May 14 for a limited run of six shows only. If you’re in the LA area, catch it while you can. The show starts at 8 PM. Tickets are $20.
