You have to check out this amazing presentation about a custom-made McDonald’s mural

I know there’s a lot to do on the internet, but you should really stop what you’re doing and watch this 19 minute talk about a custom mural that was once featured in a McDonald’s.

Cabel Sasser’s talk on Panic at XOXO Fest 2024 was full of silliness and deep dives down unexpected rabbit holes. (I wouldn’t expect anything less from the founder of Panic, the company behind quirky things like the Playdate handheld and… Goose game without a title.) Much of the presentation revolves around the little-known artist behind the mural, the late Wes Cook, who also created some incredible designs found in real theme parks. It’s fascinating to learn so much about Cook, and the end of Sasser’s speech is simply fantastic.

Every minute of the speech is worth it; Seriously, take the time to watch this so you can see for yourself what’s happening.

Oh, and here’s a picture of the mural in case you’re curious.
