While I haven’t yet been lucky enough to experience his current rendering of Governor Mario Cuomo as Superman (which, appropriate), I did get a bit giddy when I strolled past this rather large and impressive SacSix mural of Dr. Anthony Fauci re-imagined as Star Trek’s Mr. Spock. Perfectly logical.
The pop-culture infused likeness of Fauci includes fun Spock-ian embellishments such as the hand sign made famous by the Enterprise’s only Vulcan crew member (with a reminder to stay vigilant with personal hygiene), as well as the signature pointed ears.
Fauci Spock Mural was Photographed on St. Marks Place in NYC’s East Village.
Why does Fauci have six fingers? Is it something related to Sacsix, or six feet apart, or just an error? And why hasn’t someone already said something about it so I could just Google instead of pestering you?
My guess is that it is refering to Orwell’s 2+2=5 as he has five fingers and a thumb. The whole point is that you see five fingers even though you should know it to be four.
