Okay, there may be a couple of minor flaws in Red Clay Man, but hey, every superhero has his or her weaknesses. I guess he could only fight crime out in
rural parts of Georgia because he’d have to keep his supply of red clay continually replenished, but hey, rural Georgia has crime too, right? And I suppose he’d need a way to get around our state in order to fight crime, so what better vehicle for him to ride around in and terrify evildoers with than Maypop Mobile? And, since most crime fighters need a sidekick, a partner, someone to help get him out of those tight superhero type scrapes that all great crime fighters get into, I guess I’ll need to create him one. Folks, I have perfect one in mind, I’ll team Red Clay Man up with our newest superhero sidekick, Boiled Peanut! Put those two together, and you have one heckuva crime fighting team, two superheroes that’ll put fear of our previous state flag into any evil doer that challenges them!
Red Clay Man and Boiled Peanut, our two newest superheroes and Georgia ones to boot! Hey, if we can host Olympics in Atlanta, and if we can elect a President from here, well, we can have our own superheroes, too! And, it’s in our economic best interests if Red Clay Man catches on - just think about it. Batman is out there selling tons of t-shirts, toys, and more, just think of red clay samples we could ship out of here on account of our newest superhero! Why, proceeds from these sales might be so great that they could even help get City of Macon out of hock!
