Patriotic Reading Room 1776: the Movie Conclusion

When Last We Left a Disfunctional Congress...

...no, not the one currently screwing up America!
The one screwing up the founding of America!
Specifically, conservatives, even then, "right-wingers".
Some called them Tories.
Some called them "traitors"!

How Thomas Jefferson was ...persuaded...to write the Declaration was abridged in the comic...but not in the movie!


To keep the horny Jefferson on-task, a little feminine assistance was imported from Virginia...

Sexually-satiated (in a tasteful, Comics Code-approved way), Jefferson pens the Declaration of Independence...

...and then the debating really began...


One matter the comic avoids, but the movie (and the play it's based on) doesn't is slavery and how it was addressed in this situation...

And now, back to the voting...
And thus was the "Great Experiment" Born!

Happy 249th Birthday, America!

I Hope and Pray We Reach the 250th!

Patriotic Reading Room 1776: the Movie Part 1

Before Hamilton, There Was a Broadway Musical About the Creation of the USA!

But, unlike Hamilton, there was a comic book adaptation of it...when it was transformed into a movie!



As you can see, doing a musical as a comic book has a major drawback!
NO MUSICAL NUMBERS!
But we have a solution...Insert the songs back into the narrative!

Now, on with the comic...

Time for another song!

Again, back to the comic...

Mars Attacks: the Musical! People FINALLY Catching on!

...there is NO Mars Attacks Broadway show in the works!
Bleeding Cool has posted an article HERE, restating the points we mentioned HERE!
Having worked on Broadway (Patrick Stewart's A Christmas CarolKreskin, and several others) and on Mars Attacks, both the 1990s comic and the movie), I had a gut feeling that this was just a joke.
A little bit of research (without even having to call anybody at Topps or Broadway producers I had worked with) confirmed what I thought.
The fact that most of the comics "journalists" (such as Comic Book Resources HERE) fell for such an obvious prank, reporting it as actual news, is a sad commentary on the intelligence of those so-called "reporters".

Mars Attacks: the Musical...NOT!

As we point out at The Beat...
If it’s real, why isn’t a legit theatre producer’s name connected to it?
Why is it nobody outside of the comics/card trade press mentions it?
And one more giveaway…“Ever since I saw The Sound of Music as a youngster living in New York I have dreamed of a career on Broadway…” said Layman.
Layman was born in 1969.
The Sound of Music was staged on Broadway twice…in 1959-63 (before he was born) and 1998-99 (when he was 30, hardly a “youngster”)
Yet, Comic Book Resources, Geeks of Doom, and others act like it's real...
