Sinbad Comic

Join Sinbad and his merry men as they embark on a dubiously-conceived quest to foil a dubiously-conceived but probably evil plot by the evil vizier Jaffar! Sinbad Comic is a screen-cap comic based on the incredible, incomparable, and inexplicable 1989 Lou Ferrigno film, Sinbad of the Seven Seas.

Sinbad Comic is currently on hiatus but will eventually return for the fifth and final season.

Groucho even mentions Eugene O'Neill, the author of the play, by name, in a joke about the way the characters speak their thoughts: "If I were Eugene O'Neill, I could tell you what I really think of you two." That joke flew over my head when I watched that movie last. I bet almost nobody gets it these days.

I took both the title and idea for this comic from the 1933 film "Strange Interlude," in which we hear the characters narrating their own thoughts in between spoken lines of dialogue. Animal Crackers was made in 1930, but the Strange Interlude film was an adaptation of a 1928 stage play, which was hugely popular at the time.

I don't remember the context of the Marx Brothers joke, but if there was any narration of internal thoughts going on in the scene, it was almost certainly a reference to that play.
