This is not something I expected to see in a comic book, especially in a comic book The good boy mayor turns into a bad guythe third installment with Dave Scheidt and Miranda Harmon Mayor’s good boy series, tells the story of a talking dog mayor in a small town.
At the beginning of the book, Robert Eberman, the father of the book’s protagonists, Abby and Aaron Eberman, is looking through his record collection. When Aaron interrupted, Robert defensively grabbed the album he held against his chest and held it there for several panels. As you can see above, this is a Cub album, specifically their second album, 1995’s Come out, come out.
For those of you who don’t know, I think most of you, or at least most Mayor’s good boyCub were an all-female band from Vancouver in the 1990s who played simple, lullaby-like pop-punk rock tunes with sing-song lyrics that were either extremely charming or a little cloying, depending on your preference. preferences. They call their style “embracing the core.” As a teenager I loved them unconditionally and my favorite song was “My Chinchilla” from their debut album betty coke, which is either a cute and innocent love song…or an ode to a real pet chinchilla. I interpret it as the former.
In the previous panel we saw Aaron holding two more albums, They Might Be Giants 1988 Lincoln and The Cure’s 1989 disintegrationso Robert may have come to Cub through “They Might Be Giants”, they came from Come out, come out on their 1996 album Factory showroom. Regardless, we can agree that Robert had good taste in music and had a valuable record collection.
This isn’t the only connection to Cub Comics, nor the only reason they are mentioned on comics blogs. The cover art is betty coke From legendary cartoonist Dan DeCarlo.
The only question now is who is there Mayor’s good boy Is the team a Cubs fan, Schedit or Harmon? Or both?
