This comic will make absolutely no sense to you if you’ve never played Super Mario Bros. Or any of its 13 thousand sequels. And if you haven’t played Super Mario Bros. (or any of its 13 thousand sequels), then shame on you. Shame on you for missing out on the most important pop-culture phenomenon of the 1980s. Yes, more important than Cyndi Lauper, or hair metal, or even the Safety Dance.

These outfits are obviously inspired by those worn by the Mario brothers. Those outfits, and the landscape, and the little Goomba that Winslow’s just taken a bite out of, are all property of Nintendo.
