The ultimate test for the Green Day geek.

A genius die-hard fan of Green Day has put together a meticulous cartoon based on their 30-year career. The incredible image contains no less than 161 references to Billie Joe Armstrong and his mates and their music, including album covers, memorable lyrics, and even band members’ pets!
Tom Hanks appears at the bottom right holding his pet football from Castaway, a reference to the band’s 2000 song of the same name.
If you don’t have time to spare and spot all the GD references, then there’s a quick cheatsheet on Reddit containing every reference Green Day fans have found so far.
The artist behind this project told the Green Day Authority forum that it “started as an attempt to recreate the band in a cartoon-ish style” before escalating into “a wall poster with reference to every Green Day album song.” It took almost two years to complete.
