The Austinist kids beat me to it, but I just noticed this afternoon on one of my periodic checks of David Rees’s site that a staged adaptation of his Get Your War On strip is being performed locally by Rude Mechanicals theater collective. It started this past Thursday, but runs another two weeks. I’m not sure how well Rees’s hilarious strip will translate to a live stage setting, but the results should be interesting at the very least.

I saw Rees speak at Alamo Village at the Texas Book Fair just before last fall’s national elections. He was damn funny, if a bit overconfident that the election would turn out differently than it did. I’m all for anything that promotes that strip, so go check it out. You’ll be supporting him and local theater in one event. How can you argue with that?
