Michelangelo's nightmare

Sep 05, 2010 20:16

I just had a thought . . .

What if "MAD's maddest artist," Don Martin, decided to do his own version of Michelangelo's masterwork, the paintings that adorn the Sistine Chapel ceiling, in his inimitable Neanderthals-with-hinged-feet style? And then went on to do his own versions of all the other great masterpieces of Western religious art?

And what if the leading lights of the fundamentalist/televangelist world learned of it? What would the sight of God and Jesus with hinged feet and that "Duhh . . ." expression on their faces do to them?

And then, of course, there's the next annual "Everybody Draw Mohammed" Day . . .

Oh, and then we could go on to "Everybody Draw the Great Old Ones" Day, you know, Don Martin's rendering of Great Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth, and all the rest of the Mythos Gang . . .

. . . But there are some things nobody wants to know. -- Though I'd love to have the ticket concession to the event . . .

cartoons, mad magazine, humor, religions, art
