Hedgehog in the Fog. From Russia with love and subtitles.

' Hedgehog in the Fog is the precursor to Tale of Tales and shares many of the same qualities. It has the same bittersweet poetic style and fragmented storytelling containing lots of tiny seemingly unconnected events that the viewer tries to somehow link together to create a meaning, the same way we experience each day, and remember our life.'

Related to William's view that the British royals are 'very much not a racist family' following accusations of racism in Meghan and Harry's interview.

A Disappointed Octopus — Amity

At least they'll grow back.

Do daughters turn into their mothers ? — Amity

My daughter is cranky and stuborn, just like her mom. Of course, that's just like me, my sons, and my brothers too. None of us care much about dust.

Doonesbury was always one of my favorite comics. This is from 1973, one of his best. I never forgot it.

Funny the cartoons that stick in the mind.
I remember one I cut out of a newspaper...way back in ancient times.

Two umbrellas in the street: one closed, the other open against the elements.
'That's life. One minute you're up, the next you're down'

Or blown inside-out away by a gust of wind.
The winds of change.

Here's another one of my favorites, from the New Yorker, probably early 1990s. I was going into my boss' office one morning and it was pasted to the door. He had crossed out "Beckton" and written in "Clark."

So you were a pain in the neck there too !!

From the legendary Michael Leunig: :smile:

This is an absolute classic Leunig. :smile:

Oh. Wow !!

He is a genius! I so envy his ability to say so much with so little :smile:

I don't do zoom but I love the song :cool:

Yeah its interesting isn't it. We will now have to evolve to read non verbal communication entirely from facial cues, as the normal body language - the crossing of legs, the fiddling of hands is missing. Its not quite the same, its not nearly as good IMO. :smile:

Leonardo da Vinci's Cartoon
http://www.leonardo-da-vinci.net/cartoon-of-st-anne/

Kept in the dark room at the National Gallery, it inspired a young poet, Elsie Hayward.

This love is kept in the dark.
You only visit it, through curtain
Of hush and black, you step
Into a different colour of time.
There is no eye meeting yours,

But a presence echoes softly,
A far-off lullaby descending
Dim staircase of years, reaching
Through layers of silent dark
To put a finger to half-smiling lips.

The bodies are near, their shapes
Too melted, flowing, for time to wrap
And carry away. This is all time.
This is flowers coming to bloom
Beneath ancient, yellowing haze,

This is warmth of lines meeting,
Skin against skin, hidden in coolness,
The softly steel cradle of gentle
Strokes, blanket of tender watch.
This is a first idea of love,

A locket always carried. Somewhere
Outside this small still offshoot
Of the real world, the other threads
Of the tapestry, living reflections,
Closer than is thought.

This is the heart that keeps
The darkness thin.

Who needs hope when you have penguins... :roll:
According to the flightless hope truther 'letting go of hope isn't giving up. It's realistic'.
Agree/disagree/no comment ?
I disagree: we can be both realistic and have hope...

What an interesting thread! I want to share this one:



It says: looks like the word GOOOOL is the only one we shout together. This cartoon reflects how the society of Spain is divided by political issues... far from football we cannot be united.

Thanks for sharing :cool:

The bottom bubble:
I think it reads: pero no te olvides de guinea escuatorial
Trans: but don't forget equatorial guinea

Is that a hot political football ?

Is that a hot political football ? — Amity

It is an African country: Equatorial Guinea. It was a colony of Spain back in the day. The bottom bubble says so because sadly this is a country completely forgotten despite the fact they speak Spanish. But they are not famous as Latin ones or Philippines. It is a criticism about how Spanish politicians completely lost and didn’t know administrate to.

Ta for explanation :up:
