Play-By-Play Commentary

When Billie Beat Bobby

Oh, snap.

This is Marian's way of saying, oh really? You teach me? Are you out of your mind?

With a nod to the historic 1973 Battle of the Sexes between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs where she used his lily-white man ass to mop up the tennis court, Marian serves a layer that calls upon both previous layers: the butterflies headed toward the edge of the layer, the hairball chasing their tails, and the original Etch-a-Sketch font mocking Armin.

This is my kind of volley, one that transforms and expands on previous elements, one that smacks me in the face with concept and execution.
