Cool!

Sometimes we think alike… Might be a cop’s kid thing 😊

And half of a piece of foreign paper money that’s been torn in two.

Yes! There’s a great line in a documentary where she says something like “I don’t know what he’s painting right now, but yesterday I saw him measuring the dog.”

I remember someone else thought that was the most disturbing part of the painting 😊

Over here his critique can look like surrealism, and it took me a while to recognize it. Not that we don’t have our own class BS, it just presents differently.
And I’m surprised any one overseas has even heard of the Tragically Hip!

Your comparison with The Prisoner is very apt, and I’m glad to hear the cult following persists. A friend told me of the BBC television adaptation, but don’t recall even rumours of radio plays. And until the internet those were all utterly out of reach from here.

Ohh! Thanks!

No, that adaptation didn’t surface here!

That makes sense. As a Canadian it’s rare to run across anyone else who has even heard of them, much less read them. I am glad there’s been little commercialized tat, but would love to see wider recognition of how multi-directionally brilliant Peake was.
