As a boy, I never owned a Nintendo, and therefore rarely got to play any of the then-popular games that my peers always talked about at school. So I compensated by dreaming up stories about Mario and Luigi. This particular story is my first foray into Mario-inspired storytelling, and is rather disappointing. Not only are the drawings primitive and the plot simplistic, I don't even have the original drawings anymore: the only surviving copy in my mother's basement was this low-quality grayscale photocopy.
