Canned Air #251 The Bawdy Tales of Lazlo Cale

We welcome comic creator Andrew Maxwell to the show to first help us in this week's Retro Roundtable. It was this month in 1947 that the events of Roswell, NM took place, so we remember famous aliens throughout pop culture. We discuss aliens like Alf, The Kraang, the creatures from Independence Day, and the origins of Men In Black! Failure to listen to this episode ends with punishment by probe!   Then we turn our attention to Andrew to discuss his Kickstarter, running until August 8th, for his comic The Bawdy Tales of Lazlo Cale. Our story takes place in a futuristic Paris, filled with inter-dimensional time portals, following an explosion of a literal time bomb. However, instead of erupting into chaos, the city became a unique ecosystem of different eras existing simultaneously together. Dinosaurs, samurai, and flying cars are just a few of the things you might see on the city streets. The protagonist of this tale is an ex-gigolo turned art dealer, who uses this new set of circumstances to profit and acquire art. He has recently been tasked with finding the city's most notorious gangster's stolen painting, or suffer the consequences. Oh, and did we mention this mobster is his ex-boyfriend? Don't miss you chance to back this project at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/382592035/the-bawdy-tales-of-lazlo-cale  @IHateMaxwell @Grenade_Fight CannedAirPodcast.com @CannedAirPod @Canned_Air If you'd like to show your support, you can either visit our Patreon page at Patreon.com/CannedAirPod or you can leave us a review on iTunes!
