Caption: “The Peeps Marshmallow trial was a famous trial. A school teacher, Mr. Peeps, was on trial for teaching that all peeps evolved from marshmallows. Clarence Mallow defended him in a southern courtoom with an overhead fan and bibles on the Judge’s bench and prosecutor’s table. The jury was entirely composed of male peeps, and the audience included peep-ladies in big hats and pearls. The diorama is based on a photograph of the trial, which clearly depicted the graphics on the easel. Mr. Peeps is on the witness stand and Mr. Mallow is about to begin his direct examination.”
[Text on the posters reads “Are We Descended from Marshmallows?” “Or Were We Created by a Higher Authority?”]
