MORRISON MONDAYS!
By BILL MORRISON
Back in January I wrote about a pin-up illustration of a sexy woman dressed as Robin the Boy Wonder that I did back in 1989. The painting was inspired by some articles from tabloid newspapers about Batman-obsessed men that were merged together to craft a story about one Bat-crazy dude.
When I was writing my column, I searched through boxes in my studio to find the original tabloid clippings that I knew I’d saved, but to no avail. Then, by chance, a few weeks later, I found them. I think there must have been a third story that mentioned the dry cleaner and the maid that were in the story that accompanied my pin-up, but that’s lost to time.
So, as an addendum to that column of January 19, I thought it would be fun to show the articles, along with the cover of one of the newspapers. In rereading the articles, I rediscovered some very interesting tidbits that didn’t make it into my earlier piece, such as $10,000 Batman movie premiere tickets, and a woman hired to cosplay as Vicki Vale.
There was also a lot more sex than I’d remembered, so proceed with caution!
