Hal Rudnick’s solo comedy show is opening at UCB Theater in Los Angeles on May 29th, and I recommend attending if you enjoy laughter. Check out some of Hal’s videos, or watch him in Reno 911 (season 4, episode 9, you superfans).

I enjoy mapping out mundane objects and machinery with this method…trying to capture the nuts and bolts of something complicated without possessing enough practical understanding of how the parts function together. It might be incorrect to use cargo cults as an analogy, but they come to mind.

In other news, my mini-comic, It’s Sexy When People Know Your Name, is now available at Buenaventura Press, where you can pick up LOTS of other goodies. I’ve been especially digging the latest from Johnny Ryan, Matt Furie, and Souther Salazar.
