Super Mario Bros, world 1-1, by Josh Millard. 
Drawn this morning after too much coffee.  I go back and play SMB1  now and then, probably not more than a year or two goes by, so this is  relatively fresh in my mind, but I’m still feeling like I’m forgetting  something and I think there’s probably not enough koopa troopas here.
SMB1 was the game that ate my brain as a kid and made the NES a  serious obsession and something that I had to save up and buy.  I would  sneak into my cousin’s room and play it whenever we had family get  togethers, until an adult would come and find me and drag me back out to  mingle until I could sneak away again.
