Prolific cartoonist/illustrator/animator/musician Luke McGarry, who has done all sorts of wonderful comedy and music posters and art (including for Festival Supreme and MAD Magazine), joins in for this week’s TCB Field Report. Luke runs us through his winding path to being one of the go-to illustrators, especially when it things get imaginatively silly, and the wide, wide, very wide myriad of projects he has coming up (graphic novels to tour art to much much more). Also, “hot” takes on Julio Torres’ A24 movie, The Mary Tyler Moore Show doc, and Bo Burnham’s Inside getting a theatrical run.

You’re seeing a lot of Tenacious D in the news and deservedly so. They’ve announced their worldwide tour and the second edition of their comedy and music festival, Festival Supreme, is tomorrow.

On their appearance Conan, Jack Black goes into how he funded the festival as well as going through a map of the haunted house/maze, one of only many attractions coming tomorrow afternoon at The Shrine near USC.

Then, of course, no Tenacious D appearance on late night would be really complete without Jack Black and Kyle Gass rocking one of their tunes live, which, in this case, happens to be their song “History”.

Exposition Park will no longer be the site of the 2nd Festival Supreme, but don’t worry as this does not mean it’s cancelled. The date is the same, the mind blowing, amazing line-up is still the same, and, actually, they’re in the same part of town.

The Shrine Expo Hall and Grounds, another gigantic LA venue, will be the home for this year’s Festival Supreme, which is literally a brief walk from Exposition Park on the south side of the USC campus (The Shrine is on the north side).

Tickets are still on sale for $99.
