Today Tisher and I got dressed up and went out to Montrose beach and Marty was kind enough to take some pictures for the forthcoming season of Bubble Boys. It was freezing but surprisingly beautiful. Snow whipped with sand and everything frozen.
I imagine the pictures will turn out well, how evocative they will be of 1943 and WWII remains to be seen- Tisher and I in dress cloths being buffeted by the wind. But with some imagination, standing there coatless on the iced-over beach head, you can get a glimpse of what that fear might have been like, what determination it might have required. Bubble Boys is a comedy show and we've tried to exaggerate, lampoon, and absurdize 40's tropes and premises. We've endeavored both consciously and subconsciously to be respectful or at least walk the line around outright mockery.
Season 2 will be much more crass, bizarre, edgy, goofy, and dark than season 1 but hopefully not offensive. A teaser will be released January 29th.
