The Just For Laughs Comedy Fest in Montreal is in full swing.  This is Victor, the JFL mascot:

This cartoon is a prettied-up representation of a real monster who lives in the hills of Montreal and frequently descends into town and eats people.  Artists are afraid to depict his true appearance, so they present this cleaned-up cutesy version, but he is in fact horrible to gaze upon as well as omnipresent.  Yesterday I watched him ride down a city block crouched on top of a bus, leap off, and eat a child.   Then he picked his teeth with an umbrella he broke off a nearby cafe table.

For those of us who have managed to survive, the shows are awesome.  Here’s another blog post by Sara Faith Alterman, who is blogging the hell out of this and who says it better than I can.  Read!
