DINO 21ST CENTURY PARIS COMMUNE CARTOON: LAZY FARE
A propos reprises of past periods of angry conflicts, including that of Paris 1870, 1871, here is a
Mise en scene for a cartoon:
Pictorial reference ala The Siege of Paris, R. Baldick, Macmillan, 1964, Chapter "Waiting For News", draw a scene following that of the cartoon, p. 161:
The image is like that of the cartoon, but the dog in the foreground is labelled in block capitals "DINO".
Nearby a greyhound or german shepherd, named eg "Entr (Wiener) Preenur", sits at attention.
A small frisky horse named "Mav Rick Shank", frolics rearing on its hind legs, boisterously, next to it. (Cf. earlier posts re The Maverick Executive.)
A big reclining striped tiger nearby might read "Team Tony Tank".
Their distressed owners are each making tearful arrangements, handkerchiefs, etc., for their transfer to the butcher depicted in the shop.
Some small hanging carcasses in the background window, as in the cartoon, would add the necessary poignancy, and round out the scene.
(Here's a bonus for the really talented illustrators, Gahan Wilson types, out there; see cartoon on p. 131, and create a sequel with that mise en scene, same general themes and characters.)
The caption above reads: "COMME UNE 'LAZY FARE'"

RE: IL PLEU CHATS ET CHIENS CARTOON 1871 PARIS 21 ST CENTURY USA ALSO ANDY MARTIN THE STONE REFERENCE
The graphic referred to yesterday might also contain a panther, lolling limp wristed at one side; he should look like the Pink Panther.
He should have the words PINK 'ELEPHANT' across his torso.
He might be sporting some jewelry and accessories.
There might also be a rather mangy hound dog, with the word BLUE(POULOU) on his torso, cf. Andy Martin Phenomenology Ugly The Stone Article.
The caption for this might also read, somewhere, of course:
BOUCHERIE ENTRE CHIEN ET LOUP
OR A PROPOS ANDY MARTIN'S THE STONE ARTICLE:
BOUCHERIE PHAEDO ET POULOU

ENTRE CHIEN ET LOUP THE TWILIGHT ZONE
Friday, July 9, 2010
Entre Chien et Loup
This French phrase, between dog and wolf, I first learned about, from graphic work, done on pottery, a series of mostly 'rooster' theme plates, with religious and political themes, by a Roswell Georgia artist, a retired lawyer. They reminded me of Daumier a little.
He referred to its meaning, for him, as 'the twilight zone'.
