PacChild
This stencil is sprayed in a location where I’ve been crossed out or had “toy” written on any stencil or tag that I’ve put up.
So I’ve put this stencil in a tricky place- right smack dab in the middle of the wall. It can’t be reached by leaning over the top and it’s hard to reach from the bottom.
I’d like to see someone cross this out!
Well, no, actually, I wouldn’t. But, I would at least know that they worked for it!
Did you know that Pac-Man was going to be called “Puck-Man”? It’s true! They changed it for North America, because they knew that vandals would scratch out part of the “P” on every cabinet, everywhere, making their game “Fuck-Man”.
Did you know that Posterchild was going to be called “Poster Girl”? It’s true! I changed it to the more enigmatic and gender-neutral Posterchild, but I was originally going to go with the feminized version- just to throw people off the track and to further distance my secret identity from myself!
I mean really, wouldn’t John Jonzz really keep people away from his secret (secret) identity if he transformed into a fishnet wearing, lipstick daubed, Martian Womanhunter? If Peter Parker had worn a stuffed bra under his spidey suit? If Wonder Woman had bulked up her suit with armoured, muscle-like padding?
Of course, this transgendered identity protection probably wouldn’t have flown under the comics code back then, but I think this could be a really interesting idea for a new superhero!
