Editorial: The B-sides of M.U.S.C.L.E.

Posted by Chad Perry in Philosophy, UofM News on April 25, 2011

Last week I was taking pictures of my Non-Poster Kinnikuman figures. I enjoyed reexamining the figures and thinking about their place in M.U.S.C.L.E. history. Then I came across my Ramenman with Dragon. It put an end to my enjoyment. I wondered, “What makes this special? Why do I even care?”
