The latest example of echoes of the Zodiac Killer still resonating in pop culture and art:
Artist statement: "i drew this in brown Crayola markers a while back. i owed my cousin a favor for all the movies on boot, had to redraw this in tiny pen. lighting and lines are a little off, and the Colt has no less than one extra piece. but im lazy. anyways, just sharing!"
INCREDIBLY tasteless.
Deplorable at best.

A decent artist….I just wish the Zodiac case wasn’t made so "fun". Like some follow and admire Zodiac, and make light of it.
“…they may be dealing with one or more ersatz Zodiacs–other psychotics eager to get into the act, or perhaps even other murderers eager to lay their crimes at the real Zodiac’s doorstep.“ L.A. Times, 1969
Smithy! Word please!
Now, between me and you, I have discovered something rather alarming, even suspicious. Now, I hope you won’t assume, from the ‘evidence’ I am about to reveal and the subsequent interrogation, that I am, in any way at all, accusing you of involvement in the crimes of Zodiac. Even though that is what I am doing, I trust you won’t instantly jump to that assumption.
Could you please explain this, Mr Smith…?
Exhibit A:
"So it’s sorta social. Demented and sad, but social, right?" Judd Nelson.
I must caution you Smithy that you do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence of you fail to mention now, something which you later rely on in Court. Anything you do say may be given as evidence.
So, would it be fair to say, Mr Smith, that your business stocked and sold novelty gift cards for all occasions? Such as Halloween cards, maybe?
"So it’s sorta social. Demented and sad, but social, right?" Judd Nelson.
INCREDIBLY tasteless.

While we are at it, there is also a Zodiac Killer Records with full on shamelessness.
Don’t all these fools know that the Zodiac liked Opera not Rock ‘n Roll?
Wondering why the artist changed the symbols in the cipher.
“I don’t know Chief, he’s very smart or very dumb.“
If Mel Brooks can have a song like springtime for hitler, then what’s so wrong with sexy zodiac? Id understand if the drawing came out a few months, or even a few years after the murders. Yeah that would be sick. But it’s nearly 50 years later. Just about everyone involved has since passed on. Sometimes the best humour crosses a line into the offensive. Or in other words, if it’s not offensive, it’s probably not funny. Im all for anything that keeps this case out there in popular culture.
