An academic wearing a Mouseketeer hat and carrying a jester-headed staff tumbles forward in front of Professor Harley Quinn. A sun appears next to a robed statue in the background, from whose mouth issues a banner in Latin reading "Ita valdi magni ingenii quod nobis deest ineptis, magni, magni, magni" - or "what we lack in imagination we make up for in ineptitutde, but we are big, big, big." The artist requested the translation from a Professor of Latin at the Ohio State University. One impression was used in the artist's 1988 Discarded Impressions Series #1.
