St Elmo's Fire




My little tribute to the monster movie posters of the 50's, it's Elmo devouring Sesame Street- Elmo was introduced to the show in the 1980's as a minor character in an otherwise massive support cast of muppets. These days however, the show seems to be entirely about him! Though some things can be chalked up to nostalgia for the days of a Jim Henson helmed Sesame Street/Muppet Show, but after watching clips comparing the old with what passes for the show these days it seems more insipid and pandering fan service. But I get it he's cute he's fuzzy and red and is a main character marketing power house however http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elmo#Criticism_and_controversy
