Comic Riffs is a blog devoted to the comics fan. Come in, sit down and put your feet up as we celebrate, contemplate, eviscerate and pontificate on cartoons.
Last weekend, NBC's superhero drama
"The Cape"
-- in which the cliched "honest cop" Vince Faraday (David Lyons) becomes the titular masked crusader, fighting crime in Palm City -- debuted to mixed reviews and nearly 9-million viewers. This weekend, it was "Saturday Night Live's" turn to render judgment.
"SNL" spoofed the cape itself as standard superhero garb, imagining what other garments -- from sleeping masks to Spanx -- might imbue their wearers with quasi-superpowers.
Comic Riffs' favorite is "The Smock," in part because Bill Hader -- who has co-written a Spider-Man story with "SNL" head writer Seth Meyers -- is such a big-time fanboy himself.
Here 'tis, the internecine NBC spoofage:
