OH BABY. This poster is the combination of Brian Franko, Brian Gleisberg, and myself. Honestly, this is probably the funniest poster Mantis has ever made, and it has a cult following because the humor is decidedly bent. Franko’s illustrations are genius. We also put in little touches like all the illustrations are intertwined so they are all happening together at the same time if you look closely. Really, this poster is extremely Mantis.

This is the best poster…ever. I’ve had it for years and because I have moved so much (and this goes with me everywhere), mine is cut down from the edges and ripped to shreads. I have to get a second copy!

Absolutely the most startlingly funny thing I’d ever seen when I bought it in college. Some years later, it still utterly delights me in every detail. I MUST order a new copy, because my old one is so worn from posting and storing…
Funny thing, the black background was one I had designed but never got printed. Unfortunately this poster isn’t available anymore but, if we have the opportunity to make it available I will let you know via email.

Hey! This poster is awesome, I had it when I was a teenager and it had a black background for sure! Not sure if someone in the UK did that, that’s where I got it from?? Anyway, I’m writing a blog, you know the usual, a place to dump all the crap in my brain. One of the things I was going to do was ‘Tiny Damaged Notion of the Day’ where I’ll just spout some random thing or other, which is usually pretty easy for me but as I’m now trying to think of them I can’t! Typical lol. I thought I’d start with a dedication to where Tiny Damaged Notion came from and post one of your pics from the poster each day but I can’t find ones up close enough to use on the web. Is there any chance you could send me them? Full credit will be given! Even a special blog spot to the only poster (of the many I had) that I even remember! Seriously me and my friends did a few of these notions! We had one per week! We decorated strangers, devised alternate modes of transportation (tho not with mice!) and I can’t remember what the one is where the guy writes ‘mine’ on stuff but we did that too (only school books and stuff, not damaging property…) so this would be pretty cool if you’d be ok with it?? My email which I probably shouldn’t post here, but hey I wanna hear from you, is ——— Thanks! Sarah

I’ve had this poster for eons. I love how all the pictures are somehow related to all the other, like everything is happening once.
Best. Poster. Ever.

I love these posters! I had one in college and I lost it! Funny stuff!

I had this and lost it, , but wasn’t there one where the background was black instead of white?
