Moonalice poster by David Singer
Legend
According to Moonalice legend, Sebastopol was the ancestral home of Gravenstein Moonalice, a man who was unable to tell the difference between an apple and a bag of hemp. He dedicated his life to letting doctors try to figure out what was wrong with him. For thirty years before the passage of the medical marijuana laws, Gravenstein was provided with apples and hemp on a daily basis, courtesy of the government.
According to Moonalice legend, Sebastopol was home to Apple Blossom Moonalice, a tribal matriarch who transformed Moonalice culture. Apple Blossom pioneered the concept of eating dessert first. Take it from the tribe, once you’ve had dessert first you never go back.
According to Moonalice legend, Sebastopol is home to the Luther Burbank Gold Ridge Experiment Farm. Has any of you ever been to the Luther Burbank Gold Ridge Experiment Farm? Do you know what goes on there? We have never been there, but here are the facts. What they do there is secret. Do you think they put ridges on Ruffles? Maybe, but we doubt it. The farm is only 3 acres. What can you grow in three acres? There is only one crop we know that produces huge value on a farm that small. We’re just saying . . .
According to Moonalice legend, tonight’s poster depicts the late, and overweight tribal patriarch Jackie Gleason. Before he grew the unfortunate moustache, Jackie was a bus driver and Honeymooner. His abuse of Alice directly influenced the naming of this tribe, which makes tonight’s poster – by the incredible David Singer – particularly meaningful. Did Gleason enjoy hemp? As far as we’re concerned, he invented the stuff.
According to Moonalice legend, Sebastopol has the perfect climate for agriculture. It started with hemp, of course, continued with plums, then Gravenstein apples, and now grapes for wine. We want you to know that we are very impressed with your versatility, but the surgeon general recommends that move away from high sugar fruits like apples and grapes in favor of a crop that gets you high.

Great poster, but, that Gleason image wasn’t from the Honeymooners… Kramden never had a mustache, and his costume makes me think of a film he did called “Papa’s Delicate Condition”
