photo of the day – big brother #31

Now before you go saying, “Yeah, Wee Man!” you should be made aware that this is NOT the LP you all know and love. Instead, it’s the other professional skateboarding dwarf, Pancho Moler. Yeah, that’s right, there’s TWO of them. I know, statistically it sounds unbelievable—I think we were even somewhat surprised when the East Coast existence of Pancho was brought to our attention—but seeing is believing and you just saw it so you have no choice but to believe it.

What’s most interesting about this cover that graced issue #31 of Big Brother in late 1997—aside from the pint-size borracho—is the prominent tagline: “A little book about midgets, poo poo, skateboards and girls.” Eleven years later that motto hasn’t changed very much…well, except perhaps for that bit about the girls.
