The Maxx

Back in the nineties, Sam Keith wrote this awesome comic book called "The Maxx" which basically chronicled the life of this guy who lived in alternate realities, protecting the same woman in both. In one life, he was a homeless man, wearing a purple costume and living in a box in New York city, and the woman he was protecting was his social worker. In the other reality, he was this heroic monster, fighting strange monsters in the outback, and the woman he protected was a jungle queen. It was an interesting, depressing comic book which was then turned into an animated series on MTV (remember when MTV was good?)
Sophomore year we were assigned to do a sculpture based on a two dimensional image, so I did the Maxx. It was a good time and turned out pretty rockin.
