I enjoy cult classics just as much as the next person, I actually didn’t realize how much until I stumbled upon Dave MacDowell’s hilariously nightmarish illustrations. The reason I say this is that I actually recognize all of these ‘characters’ if not the contexts Dave MacDowell’s puts them in.
Dave MacDowell’s illustrations must be made into posters or something of the sort, so clever they are, not to mention the talent behind them in general.
