Next in Buss’s lineup is the ghost of real film pioneer Louis Lumière. In life the Lumière brothers amazed audiences with their 50-second film of a train pulling into a station. The Arrival of a Train, as it’s fittingly titled, was a modern marvel at the time of its release in the early days of film. 130 years later the ghost of Lumière isn’t content to rest on those laurels. In fact, he has storyboards for all the movies he’d like to make that all end in his signature way.
Boney Skele’Tony makes his Strong Legs return. Once trying to find his place among the skeleton dating scene, he’s now faced with a new insecurity: how does an old skeleton like himself fit in with the youth of today? Boney sets out to do what any cool kid would and tries his hand at skateboarding. Without muscles he’s doomed to fail at this, and he does, but it isn’t all for naught. He learns to accept himself for his unique ability to play his rib cage like a xylophone, something skeletons do all the time that a person with flesh could never.
Fans of Buss can rejoice that there is a whole new hour of his comedic oddity. Whether you’re new to his style, or coming back for more, catch Daddy Strong Legs at the Fallout Theater.
