“I Want My Maypo!”
March 15th, 2006
When I was five years old and tortured my mother to buy the slop called “Maypo” I had no idea what it was, only that I loved those commercials and loved Marky Maypo.
I had no idea that any actual human made cartoons or who the heck John Hubley was or that I would ever care. Or that Mr. Hubley understood things that the expert ad men didn’t when he used the actual voice of my contemporary –his four year old son– to give his films a zing that nothing else had.
Or that 26 years later I would be the person to approve my mentor Dale Pon and his partner George Lois updating the slogan with Mick Jagger, Pete Townshend, and Adam Ant to “I Want My MTV!”
