Do you dare find out what’s happening behind the counters of your neighborhood fast-food joint? Then grab a bucket and dive into one of the creepiest graphic novels of the year! Supersized: Strange Tales from a Fast-Food Culture is an entertaining-and at times gut-wrenching-series of stories focusing on America’s ubiquitous and potentially destructive fast-food culture. A perfect companion to Super Size Me, the graphic novel will bridge the gaps between humor, fact, and heart, while peering behind the scenes of the fast-food world.

* Written by Morgan Spurlock with writer Jeremy Barlow and drawn by a variety of creators, Supersized: Strange Tales from a Fast-Food Culture is an original graphic-novel companion to the Academy Award-nominated movie and expands on some of the bizarre stories not featured in the original film.

* The creative brain trust behind The Simpsons chose Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me, 30 Days, Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden?) to direct the Simpsons‘ twentieth- anniversary documentary.

MC Supersized joins his creator, artist Ron English, at the Opera Gallery in SoHo last night.

Characters emerging from surrealist paintings to confront the artist who created them? Sounds like the plot of a classic Twilight Zone episode. At least it did until a limo pulled up in front of the Opera Gallery in SoHo last night and disgorged four bodypainted “cowgirls” to storm the art opening inside.

The cowgirls, a sexy half human, half bovine creation of pop artist Ron English, came in with (toy) guns drawn and blazing. English created them for paintings like his “Bovine Growth Hormone Babe,” a criticism of the bovine growth hormone (rBGH) used in dairy cows.
