Legend

According to Moonalice legend, today is Flag Day. Did you bring a flag? That’s okay. We brought enough for everyone. Flags are cool in moderation, but when abused flags can be a real problem. A public health issue. in extreme cases, it has been known to bring out undesirable levels of hostility. Wars, even. Fortunately, our tribe has a solution. As depicted in tonight’s poster by Chris Shaw, you can protect yourself from hostile flaggers with Moonalice brand FlagBeGone headgear. We know it looks like a fish bowl with poles zapping static electricity, but we promise you the Moonalice Flag Day helmet outperforms all others. Unfortunately, we only built the one you see here. If we ever do a KickStarter, we’ll let you know.

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, legalization in the state just north of here has had a big impact on our tribe, especially among tribal nobility. Now that any adult in Washington can get high, a few members of our tribe here in Eugene are determined to get higher. Foremost among these is Queen Cozmic of the Evergreens. As tonight’s poster by Chris Shaw indicates, Queen Cozmic has some extra sizzle under her skirts, in the form of the first cannabis-fueled personal rocket ship. Early testing has gone very well. At last report, Queen Cozmic was about halfway between Eugene and the dark side of the moon. This flight is just the beginning. Next year, Queen Cozmic plans a flight to Pluto that will prove once and for all that Pluto is a planet, not a cartoon dog.

Moonalice Legend Book Vol 5 Hardback

The Moonalice Legend: Poster and Words, Volume 5 Hardback Book

When facts and science are forced to compete with total nonsense in the marketplace of ideas, the Moonalice Legend is your friend. In this, the fifth volume of The Moonalice Legend series, we memorialize the growing nonsense in our culture. The Legend has stood the test of time, filling in the blanks of history with nuggets of information that would otherwise exist only in the minds of our tribe. The Legend goes where scholars fear to tread, from our tribe’s commitment to Pride Day, to gluten-free cannabis and to the successful pursuit of the elusive Arctic River Hippo and Fabulous Furry Frog Brothers. You’ll also learn the legends of Slugger Moonalice and the first Moonalice gold digger. You will have an opportunity to join Occupy Hemp, and to meet a bunch of great artists with whom Moonalice played this year, including U2, Jefferson Starship, the New Riders of the Purple Sage, and Grace Slick. This book will introduce you to the latest Moonalice school of poster art: Cannabism. When it comes to history, there is nothing like the Moonalice Legend.

This book also includes the best poster art of San Francisco, created for a band commited to the notion that music, art and laughing are good for the human spirit.

The legend continues…

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, today is 4/20 … the highest of high holy days in the Moonalice tribe. It is a day for celebration with friends, music, poster art and, of course, fine cannabis. Our poster artists have outdone themselves with 21 posters – three incredible screen prints that are available for purchase and 18 offset posters that will be given to each of you as a set.

Each poster reveals an important aspect of the legend, but time permits me to share only one story. According to Moonalice legend, this poster by our art director Chris Shaw depicts our Lady of Holy Bong Water, Mary Juana. Mary was a fallen woman of the best kind … she made sure than no one in the tribe ever suffered from lack of good weed. As you might have guessed, Big Steve is now a High Priest in the Holy Bong Water Auxiliary, so if the spirit moves you, Big Steve is your man.
