On Thursday, May 3rd, 2012 Joe Pera was unable to host his open mic “The Comedic Explorers’ Club of Long Island City, West”. Before the show I had received this telegraph, explaining the situation.
Dear Friends,
It is with a heavy heart that I write you from my hometown of Buffalo, amongst the frozen wastes where a nighttime chill can steal the life of even the burliest of Christian men.
The Summer Thaw is in full swing and Papa has summoned me to take part in the Acorn Harvest. As we all know, Winter in upstate New York can last 11 months and our efforts now mean the difference between life and death, as we sit in the darkness drinking acorn wine, spiced acorn cider, and acorn tequila… which, truth be told, is just some Jose Cuervo we found in an upturned tractor trailer in 1996.
However, it’s not all fun and games. Raiding parties from Ithica and Syracuse have been constantly pillaging our forests and our mayor says we must strike back with the ferocity and cunning of the noble Yeti. The promises of fresh apples, glory, and plenty of comely young “snow brides” have called many young men to take arms in the upcoming battle.
Oh dear, Papa is calling for me. Wolves got into the elk pen again. I swear, when I finally turn 21 I will leave this place and never come back… Joke onward, my friends. Joke on and know my thoughts are with you…
except Jeff Wesselschmidt, that acorn-thieving bastard.
Yours in Odin’s Love,
-Joe Pera
Drew this while in a mopey kind of mood.
Feel much better now.

This point is best exemplified by my friend and amazing comedian Nick Turner:

Quick Response: The premise is that the very idea of a flying man is so preposterous and impossible, that the gathered crowd is DESPERATELY trying to find an explanation so they can HOLD ON TO THEIR SANITY. Only the confident worldly brave American can assure them that this is a new era; “No, it’s Superman!”. It’s actually pretty brilliant.

The podcast has been lots of fun lately, recently we talked to author/comedian/blogger/podcaster Sara Benicasa about her recent writing stint at Marvel.
Lots of jokes. Good times. We talk about the Morlocks, Spiderman, and the B-52’s.
