Explosive Magoo
July 13, 2008 10:57 pm
Animator and eagle-eyed Brew reader Celia Bullwinkel spotted this faded sidewalk stencil graffiti of Mr. Magoo planting a bomb. The piece is in Greenwich Village. Are there more of these? Does anybody the story behind this image? Click on the image below for a larger version.

….Banksy?
Clearly a comment on the short-sightedness of terrorism… or not, as the case may be.
If it’s a Banksy, Celia should’ve chiseled it out.
Wow, reminds me of Peter Kuper’s work. What’s he been up to lately? :)
This looks like something that the British graffitti artist Banksy would do.

Definitely not Banksy. That’s not a “well known” stencil by me. The more famous graffiti Magoo painted trains in New York City – Here are some on Flickr – http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=magoo+graffiti&m=text
And a random piece that has a Mr. Magoo character done fairly recently:

Oh, Magoo! You’ve done it again!
It almost looks like a graphic swiped from one of Nintendo’s Game & Watch titles. I can’t place it though. If anyone here has ever played a Game & Watch game before, they’ll know what I’m talking about.
It looks like John McCain.
Is it a commentary on the success of the MR. MAGOO movie?
Maybe Gene Shalit spray-painted it.
Speaking of McCain…

Magoo probably thinks he’s lighting the candle of a carved pumpkin Jack-o-lantern for Halloween!
That’s funny.
I spotted a stencil of Snow White with an assault rifle not long ago in my hometown of Montreal. I posted a pic of it a few weeks ago:

Could they be related?
Oh, the irony of it all.
A Bullwinkel finding a Magoo.
So ’60’s.
In this version, there’s something above Magoo’s bomb:
