Originally intended to be the official poster for the Mock Show/Miami.
The concept is an homage to ZAP Comix .
It was later thought to be inappropriate to represent the show and subsequently rejected.

Only 30 screen prints were produced as a result.

I think this is pretty good and would have made for a humorous official event poster.

Perhaps the poster geeks in charge are taking themselves a bit too seriously.
