Comedy Central is my default channel when the tube is on, so last year I caught both of Maria's half-hour specials back-to-back one night. Usually I draw my cartoons and listen to TEH COMEDY without looking up to see what a comedian is doing.
But when I heard Maria's little voice deepen and broaden into the voice character of her yuppie boss, this time I had to look up. I was really floored. She really captured the creepy confidence of super-powered corporate types. I stopped drawing and kept watching, because Maria's facial expressions and body language are as much a part of her comedy as her famous voices. Plus her writing is sharp, precise and truly subversive.
After that I discovered the SuperDeluxe shows, bought her CD and became a gi-normous fan. But in a totally appropriate and non-creepy way, as Maria might say.
That is all. Good luck, Maria! You deserve much success!
