The person responsible for fucking up Burger King’s Twitter presence yesterday decided to target Jeep today. The new theme was Cadillac, and a lot of the tweets were similar to Monday’s, but this time there was a link to a full Chief Keef mixtape and another “WORLDSTAAAAAR” among the shoutouts.

Brazilian illustrator and designer Butcher Billy created the above series of pieces in which he recasts real-life “bad guys” in the shoes of comic book supervillains.
