The MessyMsxi ‘Junkfood Benny’ cartoon series is the artist’s statement against consumerism. Feeling that modern society indulges greatly in the unnecessary and the unhealthy, MessyMsxi chose the cartoon medium to depict that sentiment.
A small child was specifically chosen for the MessyMsxi ‘Junkfood Benny’ cartoon series because she felt children could symbolically reflect the naivete and indifference of society. Junkfood Benny is more than ready to stuff her face with anything that comes colorfully packaged to the point that it causes her to barf.
