Gobo Gazette

It’s another Mother’s Day! Have you ever heard the phrase “a brother from another mother”? How about a baby from another lady? No? Me neither. I think the soldier from the Party of Adventurers™ is thinking something like that right now. How do parent’s deal with this? I know I was quite rambunctious when I was young. Quite the handful. I am guessing that they will just stay the course and get the job done. At least that is what I am trying to do. It is not that easy sometimes…

I hope that all of you mothers out there have a wonderful day today. And a special shout out goes to mine. You’ve had to deal with us monsters growing up. Thank you for not shaking us off when we got too clingy.

And for all of you monsters out there. Make sure to do something very nice for your mama, especially if you are still living at home. (Yes, you know who you are – I was one too for a time.) It should not be “another Mother’s Day”, make it something special. Flip the script. Change things up. You know your mom best, so give it your all!

Bam wants to wish you all a Happy April Fools’ Day… in English! It was going to happen eventually, right? With all the word bubbles now having actual words in them? It was only a matter of time before one of the gobos slipped and spoke clearly. Clearly the Gobo Gazette Instagram feed is the behind-the-scenes of the comic strip. The gobos are quite industrious and have been the heart and soul of ever step of production. especially the many props. I was going to hold off for a bit longer for the twist but I figured it was better now than later to move forward on a very Office mockumentary of goblins working at the local printed newspaper while moonlighting at a theater.

“They’re always after me… pot of gold?” Everybody’s always talking about Lucky’s charms, but nobody ever talks about his stash of cash! Maybe Bam will come back later to steal a bowl of cereal. It is once more that time of year where everyone celebrates a guy who was captured by Irish pirates and then chased off a bunch of snakes. Or so the story goes. But the mainstream masses primarily celebrate the mass consumption of alcohol. If you are one of them, enjoy yourself but also drink responsively. St. Patrick’s Day is what I’ve always referred to as one of the three amateur nights of the year, where young adults meet – and exceed – their limits. The other two nights are New Year’s Eve and Cinco de Mayo. It is one of the reasons I don’t like going out of the house on these days. It can get a bit rough. And dangerous, especially on the roads. So, enjoy the non-reason for the season but please, for everyone else’s sake, have a designated driver. And if that driver is working (i.e. taxi, Uber, Lyft, etc) give them a tip for dealing with your shenanigans… especially if you can’t hold your liquor.
