Tomorrow night the Wexner Center is screening a documentary entitled Caveman: V. T. Hamlin & Alley Oop, about the famous comic strip caveman and his colorful creator.
In addition to it's comic-centric subject matter, it's written and directed by Max Allan Collins (Road to Perdition, the Dick Tracy strip, Ms Tree, one billion mystery novels), and includes interviews with people you likely know and love, like Will Eisner, Stan Sakai, Sergio Aragones, Frank Stack, Trina Robbins and Mark Schultz.
I have a review of it up at Done Waiting, which you can check out here. It's not that great a piece of filmmaking (plus, I believe the hated font Comic Sans is used liberally throughout), but if you're into comics, it's definitely worth a looksee. Just be prepared to have that fucking song stuck in your head the rest of the night.
