THE CUPBOARD OF DR. CALIBANI pt.2
Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco, where you can see all sorts of bizarre nut-nuts on display, usually selling CDs or Lord-knows what else. Along the way Dr. Caliban has become “Dr. Calibani” for no other reason than to make a dumb parody work.
Please forgive the Monica Lewinsky and Kid Rock references; it’s hard for me to adjust to my generation getting older.

Dr. Caliban sure knows how to pitch. I love that build-up and your new header is tight, very formidable.

Quite the spectacle, Mr. C … looks like you’ve ‘dropped the boogie” yet again (so to speak)!

I swear I left you a comment yesterday, Mr. C (must have tripped up the spam filter for containing an additional Kid Rock reference – I dropped the boogie, you know)!

Hey gang, thank you for your comments and sorry I didn’t publish them sooner (it’s okay, SpilledInky, I don’t regard you as spam…yes, you dropped the boogie, yes you did!).
Chris Watkins, sorry your comment got deleted because Wordpress thinks it know better than me…technology is revolting!

Wait?? Was the oranges comment about monica or kid??

And the food! The food of Fisherman’s Wharf, when you’re landlocked in the midwest you can only fantasize about that kind of seafood.
I’ve never been to the San Francisco Teatro Zinzanni, but I’ve been to the one in Seattle, that was a really good time. Fortunately I wasn’t pulled into the show, otherwise I would probably look like the guy in the last panel . . .

Man, Dr. C can sell ice cubes to…ice cubes! What a pitchman!

HA! “The man who couldn’t wake up… but eventually did” sounds like an awesome album title!

@Bearman Nice to see you around these parts! The ‘oranges’ comment refers to any of the numerous poor souls who hang out on the street corners of San Francisco selling boxes of oranges or strawberries…I always feel sorry for these guys, not only because it’s got to be a very unrewarding job, but because I buy my produce at the supermarket.
@Dan Nice to have you around as well! Yes, the food…if you can stand the smell of some of the “fishier” parts of the Wharf then you’re in for some of the best damned Clam Chowder in a Bread Bowl you can imagine…ohhhh, so damned good! I’ve never been to the Teatro Zinzanni either, although I have passed by the photo mural where they have with the foppish guy sticking his butt out at passerbys (God, I miss San Fran…)
@David (the Brilliant Boy one) Thanks, man! Maybe he can sell this comic to a syndicate!…well, actually that would take a miracle or two.
@David (the Unbearable Bears one) Glad you enjoyed, bro! You know, that title could work on the cover of some lost LP from the ’70’s…great, now I have to go design that!

Hahaha, I love this page. Especially that last panel…

Much obliged, Brogie!

If you feel sorry why not buy one and give it back to them so they make some money and have something to eat..haha

…or I can bring a barrel of wine, add it to the fruit, and we can all make sangria!
IT COULD WORK!!!

Awesome! I like the oranges guy. This is a show I would go to.
March 12th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
Thanks for ‘journeying’ along, Dan! If I had known the Oranges Guy was going to be such a hit I would have played him up more…
As for the show…well, tune in Sunday to see the spectacle!
