All year, we anticipate seeing those adorable little Girl Scouts in front of the supermarket, peddling their delicious cookies. But what if, instead of filling our lives and bellies with joy, Girl Scout Cookies were made made to spread misery and despair?
Artist Gemma Correll provides a visual on this unfortunate scenario, with Bad Girl Scout Cookies. Whether your boss forces you to buy a few boxes of their daughter’s Drag-A-Longs or Soylent Clusters — at least you’ll be helping to teach these young women some responsibility and entrepreneurism. Even if it’s at the expense of your colon.

The series takes us through this often overlooked art form — from the minimalist approach, to the hard sell of garish colors or a humorous cartoon.
