Just two months after we featured it in the hallowed pages of Milwaukee Record, that mural on the north wall of car stereo installation and window tinting joint Expert Electronics (2231 N. Humboldt Ave.) has changed. The mural was previously thick with images from pop, consumer, and occult cultures. The Simpsons. The Joker. Jaws. The Egyptian pyramids. Alien abductions vis-à-vis Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Stacks of cash.
Oh, and Mrs. Incredible—a.k.a. Elastigirl, a.k.a. Helen Parr—and her absolute dump truck ass.
Yesterday, thanks to multiple messages from readers (we love our readers), we drove by Expert Electronics. And yep, the mural has changed. It’s been completely painted over, and is in the process of being repainted. Gone is the Simpsons guy pointing at the booty of pirate treasure; in his place, the Egyptian god Horus Thoth. Gone is Elastigirl and her, well, you know; in her place, Master Chief from the Halo games. Remember how the pistol in the first Halo was super overpowered? Good times.
The new mural appears to be the work of the same artists and crews, THERD/TKO among them. (We’ll find out for sure!) And while it’s sad to see Mrs. Incredible go (the one person on X who got very upset over the whole thing when we wrote about it should be happy, though), we’re looking forward to the new, completed mural. At least there’s still a weird conspiracy/illuminati/”we are not alone” theme going on. And there’s still plenty of room to include a really thicc Elsa or something!
Oh god, there’s some weird Elsa shit out there. How about we end this with some Halo gameplay instead?
