Review
It's not heinous! Also not one of my favorites. A quick little one-shot focusing in on a local San Dimas Day of the Dead celebration festival; the Princesses are off at 'space camp' and Bill and Ted take the opportunity to try and chase a couple of local girls at the festival, using the phone booth to collect a small number of notable Mexican historical figures to impress the girls by letting them meet their ancestors, and then performing a concert to try to impress them again after the ancestors thing doesn't really work. When that doesn't work either, Death makes an appearance to remind the boys what the crux of the celebration is really about: family.
I will admit to being a little lost on whether we're supposed to take it at face value that Bill and Ted (and Missy, who also makes a brief appearance) have Mexican ancestry? Captain Logan is present at the cemetary the night of the festival as well, paying respects to Ted's great-great-great grandfather (who he also calls a "worthless deadbeat, just like [Ted and Bill]", so not too much respect, I guess) who seems to have known an ancestor of Bill's as well. When the boys go back in time to retrieve their own ancestors as well, they are wearing pretty traditional Mexican fashion and are several shades darker than Bill and Ted. At the beginning of the comic, Ted is the one who informs Bill about the nature of the Day of the Dead celebration, but demurs that he's not Mexican when the owner of the guitar shop they're at asks. Granted, Ted seems surprised by the existence of his musical ancestor, so maybe we're supposed to conclude that he is and just didn't know.
That's what I'm choosing to do, at least; why not take the opportunity to have fun with the idea that Bill and Ted are both Mexican like me?
That said, this comic doesn't do a lot for me other than that LOL. I don't really like the depiction of Bill and Ted as eager to cheat on their wives (or girlfriends, as this comic says, despite being set after Bogus Journey) and even besides that, I think their disappointment at being "shown up" by the Mexican girls' band is a little out of character as well. Also, being a one-shot, nothing much in this comic gets a lot of opportunity to breathe, so nothing in particular stands out either. The art is extremely solid, though, and the moment where Frida Kahlo encourages the boys as fellow artists is pretty cute too!
