One of the non-bands I fronted in high school was called "Jerry Mavis and
His Amazing Trained Seals". My stage name was a mix of Jerry Mathers and
Mavis Beacon.

Remember Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing? The lady on the box (presumably Mavis Beacon) was a very
dark black lady. I'm looking at an ad for the latest version and the
lady on the box has much lighter skin and looks more Hispanic.
Mavis Beacon is obviously a shapeshifter, or maybe a fictional character of some kind.
