THE ADVENTURES OF MR. PENIS, (A TRUE STORY)
BY 
ROBERT OPEL
RETOLD BY
RICK CASTRO

after robert opel had streaked the 1974 academy awards ceremony, his life became a fast track of political activism based on gay rights & sexual freedom.
always the provocateur robert designed the MR. PENIS costume which he premiered at the opening of  eons gallery in silver lake.
later that year, (1976) robert decided to enter mr. penis in the CSW GAY PRIDE PARADE.
at the time the csw parade went down hollywood blvd, ending @ crossroads of the world where they would then have the gay fair.


(invite for eons gallery~ circa 1976)

 robert approached the starting point of the parade resplendent in his mr. penis costume.. 
or so he thought.
the first group of gay men to spot him shouted out, " what bad taste! that doesn't represent us.. get lost!"
he then asked to speak to the chairwoman of the parade, (torey osborn) and was told "absolutely not.... leave." as robert approached the chairwoman he was attacked by militant lesbians who hit him over the head with their gay rights signs. the police were called and he was hauled off and put in jail, (again).
all this as morris kight, (gay rights chairman) looked on.
the parade went on without robert & mr. penis with the marchers ironically asking for 
"equal rights for all," fight oppression," and freedom now."
as a retaliation against the hypocrisy robert wrote a headline piece for finger magazine with the title~
"COCKSUCKERS CLAIM GIANT COCK IN BAD TASTE"
