In the end, though, I decided to keep it simple. Plus, it allowed me to use the words centerfold and Mario in the same headline, which I believe I've never done before now (even while prepping the headers for my posts about the "Super Studly Mario Bros.").
As for why I decided to title this post, "Centerfold Mario," I think the following sketch, produced by artist Curtis Bathurst, speaks for itself:
The illustration is an homage to a controversial Burt Reynolds centerfold that appeared in a 1972 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, by the way. If you've never seen said image, check out the post "Super Mario's Birthday Suit" on Bathurst's blog at your earliest convenience.
I'm telling you Bryan! Nobody knows how to respond to this! I think that makes it art, or offensive -- one of the two.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean "nobody knows how to respond to this"? Nobody who visits this blog, or nobody in general? Either way, I think it's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAlso, offensive art often is the most enjoyable art :P
If there were a +1 or Like, I would click.
ReplyDeleteAh, well, a comment accomplishes nearly the same thing, Darwin. Glad you like it :)
ReplyDeleteMY EYES!
ReplyDeleteOh, you *know* you dream of seeing Mario naked every night ... or at least every other night, Trxd :P
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing. Enough said.
ReplyDeleteReally, it should be available as a poster, don't you think? People would buy it by the boatload!
