Earlier this year, street art featuring the cartoon character Fat Albert appeared on the Lower East Side with a very special message for the man who voiced and created it, Bill Cosby. FLOOD, the street artist responsible for the pasted work, told Hyperallergic that Fat Albert is like Bill Cosby's conscience, so having the cartoon tell Cosby to "Just Admit It" was like the comedian "turning on himself...himself telling himself to admit it to himself."
According to the L.I.S.A. Project NYC, FLOOD has recently added to the series by pasting another character from the Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids show, the blubbering idiot named "Mushmouth." Staying true to the character's speech patterns, FLOOD included a sign that reads "Hey Ba Bill, Just Uba Admit It!."

There are six "Cosby Kids" left (Bill, Russell, Weird Harold, Rudy, Dumb Donald, and Bucky), so we'll see if FLOOD reunites the gang on the streets of New York City to collectively send the message to Cosby.
