This painting was printed in an edition of 1000. The image was originally created as a fold-out poster for Fox Kids when the Sam & Max animated series was on the air. For whatever reason I thought it would be fun to do a "what's wrong with this picture" idea. The poster was done as an ink drawing with rough marker color guide for the digital colorist to refer to. A collector bought the ink drawing so before I shipped it to him I had it reproduced onto illustration board so that I could paint on top of the line drawing with acrylics.
When I wrote the the legend I decided to make the call-outs completely incongruous. I don't have a clue if any of the tiny readers of Fox Kids magazine laughed or could even make head or tail out of any of this. At the time it never occurred to me to worry about it, though if I was to do it all again I would only rethink my use of the half-assed term "wacked-out".
