The Gut Buster,  Woodcut,   22” X 15”     2008

Hot dog eating contest are pretty bizarre.  You’ve seen them on ESPN (and probable watched it), possibly you even pictured Kobayashi with a mouthful of sausage casings!  But why?  Why do we watch it?  Why do we all know who Kobayashi is?  Is this why we are all so fat?  Idol worship...anyway...here is America’s hero!  Complete with foam fingers and bikini girls with american flags!
