Let the cheery bugger be happy while he can. Soon he'll realise that his dog is on 'Reconcile' and that there's no such thing as calorie-free biscuits. Then he'll turn as sour and grouchy as the rest of us :)
It's *meant* to be a dishcloth they're playing with. I spent about 20 minutes trying to work out what would be a suitable colour to render this effect.
I maybe should have spent the time making the dishcloth look more dishcloth-y.
Or a baby's nappy, which Snuffles has dragged in from the trash-can, with a lovely 3-day old turd to be deposited on their fun loving feet as they pull it Christmas-Cracker like apart?
Maybe it's a handkerchief they stole from the decapitated man because they're actually murdering psychopaths, and their happiness is just a front to convince the parents that they're 'normal'.
The clown is of course a metaphor for the Spontaneous Joy we kill in our hearts as soon as it arises, aka: TODESTRIEB (always sounds better in German).
[BTW: I've just made that guff up, but vaguely plausible, no?)
we all have severed heads sitting about on our side tables. really. metaphorically at least. thanks for finally noticing and, more importantly, putting it out there for us.
who have you decapitated?

ReplyDeleteHappiness as an elaborate defence mechanism. Like it.
ReplyDeletehaving killed the resident clown I guess they had to make their own entertainment.

ReplyDeleteI had not considered the metaphorical severed head on my side table. Now I'll be busy for the next 8-10 hours. Pondering.
