Infamous Disneyland Orgy Illustration Now a Shirt
…although not for long I’d guess.
Wally Wood created the original Illustration in 1966 shortly after Walt’s death for Paul Krassner’s publication The Realist, and Paul still sells posters of it on his site. Did Paul license the artwork to SITUATIONORMAL who made the shirt? I’ll find out in the morning. If not, then he’ll be the one issuing the “Cease and Desist.” For now they’re available at Krudmart.
The subject matter reminds me of a conversation I had with the late John Hench, one of the original designers of Disneyland. He was wondering if the success of the Disney parks wasn’t partly due to humans having a “genetic memory of the garden of Eden or some other paradise” and our desire to return to that paradise, or as he put it, “a land of free love and all the bananas you could eat.” At which point he nudged me and said, “but I don’t know what the ladies thought of it.”
UPDATE: SITUATIONORMAL did not license the artwork from Paul Krassner and has been sent the “Cease and Desist” letter as expected. I’m cuirous, whose will arrive first, the one from Disney’s Lawyers or Paul’s?
