Dirty Side Digest #23

On the Dirty Side this week…

Sometimes an idea takes shape and you just hope events conspire to allow you to use the idea.

Well this was the case with this weeks episode artwork.

The prior week we saw Jaws hit the 50th anniversary of it’s cinematic release. With it being a work of Spielberg it obviously came with a direct link to the Austrian GP which, as luck would have it, was the next race after the anniversary.

So, could we get events on track that would allow the re-imagining of the iconic poster?

There was the obvious title of Wars if we had some spicy action between say Max & a McLaren.

That didn’t happen and there was no real beef anywhere to shoehorn that title in.

As the main battle seemed to be between the Papaya boys and we were treated to 15 or so laps of great racing between them we decided to use a bit or artistic license and convert Papaya Rules into Papaya Laws.

Gotta say we were pretty happy with the result…

Yeah, there were a couple of scruffy edits around the bubbles but we still rank this as one of our fav episode covers.

Aside from caring about what the cover looks like, there was a whole race to review as well as preview Silverstone so I guess we better drop the link here in case you’ve not listened yet.

Then join us down in the marbles for a bit of F1 movie chat.
