BOBBIE ENTERS RIGHT wearing a clown suit and colorful wig. BERNIE ENTERS LEFT wearing coveralls and carrying rubber chickens. BOBBIE: Good morning, Bernie. 5 BERNIE: Good morning, Bobbie. BOBBIE: Love the suit. BERNIE: Love the hair. BOBBIE: How’s work at the factory? BERNIE: Oh, you know how it is in the rubber chicken business—signs 10 of fowl play everywhere you look. How about you? BOBBIE: We went to work yesterday, 26 of us in the back of a Smart Car, which was fi ne. When we got there, we all hit each other in the face with pies, which was fi ne. Then we put on giant shoes and red noses and makeup, which was fi ne. But the rest of the day nobody 15 got any work done. BERNIE: Why not? BOBBIE: Everyone was just clowning around. BERNIE: Well, I guess it serves us right for living in Comedyville. BOBBIE: I wouldn’t live anyplace else. You going to the Laugh Riot 20 tonight? BERNIE: I live in Comedyville. There’s no way I’d miss Friday night at the Laugh Riot. BOBBIE: Well, keep laughing. BERNIE: No, you keep laughing. (EXITS LEFT. BOBBIE EXITS RIGHT.) 25 PAT: (ENTERS LEFT and CURLY ENTERS RIGHT. COMMISSIONER JORDAN ENTERS RIGHT with MCMANN.) Good morning, Commissioner Jordan. Something special going on? COMMISSIONER: A big speech by the mayor. MCMANN: Here comes the press. 30 CURLY: And the rest of the town, too, by the looks of it. (The rest of the CAST, except the MAYOR, ENTERS and crowds around MCMANN and COMMISSIONER, who stand on the platform CENTER. DREW has a camera around his neck. VLAD lurks at the edge of the CROWD in a black cape.) 35 MCMANN: Come on, now, folks. Make some space for the mayor. He has a major announcement to make. COMMISSIONER: That’s it. Back up, folks. The mayor will be here any minute, so no funny business. 1 For preview only 1 ANDY: What do you mean no funny business? This is Comedyville! (General laughter from the CROWD.) CASEY: Say, how many police commissioners does it take to screw in a light bulb? 5 CURLY: The mayor’s coming, the mayor’s coming. (General sounds of excitement.) MCMANN: (Speaks like Ed McMahon of “The Tonight Show” [or a sportscaster].) Laaaadies and Gentlemen. Welcome to this morning’s big speech by the mayor of Comedyville. This morning 10 the mayor will be making a major announcement about the future of Comedyville. And now, the person who laughed all the way to city hall, heeeeeeeeere’s the mayor! MAYOR: (CROWD cheers as the MAYOR ENTERS RIGHT, wearing an outrageous outfi t with a colorful tie and a [squirting] lapel fl ower. He 15 looks like a cross between a politician and a circus clown.) Good morning, Comedyville! ALL: (Except VLAD.) Good morning, Mayor! MAYOR: Hey, McMann, did you know that last night I slept on a corduroy pillow? 20 MCMANN: You slept on a corduroy pillow? MAYOR: (Throughout the script the “rim shot” sound effect is indicated by an *.) That’s right, and this morning it’s making headlines!* (General laughter.) You know what I did yesterday? MCMANN: What did you do yesterday? 25 MAYOR: I went downtown and got a new car for my mom. MCMANN: You got a new car for your mom? MAYOR: Yes. I tell you, it was the best trade I ever made.* (More laughter.) COMMISSIONER: Didn’t you have an announcement to make? I can’t 30 stop traffi c all day. CASEY: With a face like that, I don’t see why not.* (Laughter.) MAYOR: Commissioner Jordan is right. Ladies and gentleman, you all know that in Comedyville, nothing is more important than laughter. From the rubber chicken factory to the clown school to the Laugh Riot 35 Club, comedy is the lifeblood of this town. But you also know that our economy is a bit rocky. Rubber chicken sales are down, clowns are unemployed and the Knock-Knock family is, well, they’re… MO: They’re having some hard knocks!* (Laughter.) MAYOR: What we need to save Comedyville is a way to export our 40 comedy. To do that, I’ve invited a big Hollywood producer to town this weekend. Over the weekend, Comedyville will also sponsor its 2 PHOTOCOPYING THIS SCRIPT BREAKS FEDERAL COPYRIGHT LAWS For preview only 1 fi rst annual comedy festival. (Cheers from the CROWD.) The festival will kick off tonight at the Laugh Riot and will begin the economic revival of Comedyville. Until then, everybody keep laughing. CROWD: No, you keep laughing! (The CROWD drifts OFF LEFT and 5 RIGHT after cheering. DREW, COMMISSIONER, MCMANN and MAYOR remain.) MCMANN: Great speech, Mayor. Now we’ve got to get you over to the unveiling of the statue of the largely forgotten Harold Lloyd. MAYOR: Who was Harold Lloyd again? 10 MCMANN: I don’t know. I’ve largely forgotten. MAYOR: Okay, but before we go, I want you to take a look at this new fl ower I’ve got. (Indicates the lapel fl ower.) MCMANN: What kind of fl ower is it? MAYOR: This kind. (Squirts MCMANN in the face with the fl ower.) 15 MCMANN: (Wipes off face.) That’s a good one.

  • Comics Studies Here And
    20 “Am I Doing the Right Thing?” Milestone Comics, Black Nationalism, and the Cosmopolitics of Static Sean Guynes-Vishniac Milestone Media’s Static (1993–1997) was an unprecedented dramati- zation of the complexity of black youth subjectivity in comics. Static addressed major youth concerns, such as drugs, sex, sexuality, violence, and physical and mental health. Attaching itself to Milestone’s mul- ticultural sensibility and reecting the company’s goal to bring black experiences to mainstream comics, Static made black youth central to confronting issues facing American youth and black communities in the 1990s. In the pages of Static, black youth didn’t generate the problems but rather, in the form of the black superteen Static and through his friendships with black and white men and women, black youth and their cross-racial relationships became the locus for confronting social prob- lems. Despite being a comic steeped in the multicultural ethos of the 1990s and of Milestone’s particular multicultural mission, the specic role of blackness and of Static’s relationship to black politics was never far from the comic’s narrative. In fact, although Eric Grifn, the founder of the Afrocentric comics publisher Ania, declaimed that, “Basically what Milestone does is create white characters painted Black. They’re not culturally aware” (qtd. in Brown 49), it would not be hyperbolic to say that Static was all about grappling with what it meant to be black in urban America. Following the example of several recent works of comics scholarship by Jose Alaniz, André M. Carrington, and Ramzi Fawaz that have quite usefully problematized the representation and political potential of “dif- ference,” or what Fawaz (quoting intellectual historian David Hollinger) dubs “negotiating the experience of otherness” in superhero comics (16), I argue that the series Static unfolded a cosmopolitan project that staged transformative encounters between characters of different colors, creeds, genders, and sexualities.
