Birds without fezzes


Mammals with fezzes, birds with fezzes and now birds without fezzes. See what happened there? Clever, huh? No. Really. Clever, very clever.

Birds with fezzes


From mammals we move smoothly to birds. Very serious, exuberantly browed birds. The one on the left looks a bit upset; or maybe that's just the way he looks. Which would be upsetting.

Mammals with fezzes


A selection of mammals with fezzes. Hard to figure which question should be answered first: what is the proper plural of 'fez' (we went with the obvious 'fezzes') or what the hell is the little chap on the bottom right corner? He looks like the rather confused offspring of Serge Gainsbourg and a chinchilla; but then again who doesn't?

Rat and dog


Not a brutally honest pub name, but a rather poignant moment where friendship begins. Either that or the moment before the dog gobbles up the rat, hard to tell.

Monks!


Monks! Not a single monk, not a couple of monks or even a few monks. Loads of monks! Everywhere! Bearded, clean shaven, hairy, bald, pretty, ugly, happy, grumpy... Monks! You know what they say: a thousand monks, a thousand typewriters, etc.

French Interwar gentlemen, pt.5


And here is the rest. Notice the universal presence of facial hair, an almost certain indication that all people in this particular tableau are men or expertly shaved bears (in which case they could be ladies). Hard to tell.

French Interwar gentlemen, pt.4


Well... this only confirms the two theories proposed in the last post. Namely: 'the chaps in these posts seem to be going up in age range' and 'the balder the hairier'. Glad that's settled then.

French Interwar gentlemen, pt.3


We seem to be going up the age range, clearly for no apparent reason. Still, one has to admire how someone so hairy can to be bald as well. Maybe there was an obligatory amount of hair a man had to maintain back in 1930's western Europe; so the more hair they lost, the longer their beards had to be (unless they had very hairy backs, of course).

French Interwar gentlemen, pt.2

Another reliable person. A bit more squat, solid moustache - an industrialist perhaps. Top marks all round.

French Interwar gentlemen, pt.1

A particularly serene member of the 1930's upper classes. Probably thinking about shooting a small animal later; perhaps about having some pants made out of tweed or some other sort of itchy but appropriately uncomfortable material. Maybe shooting a small animal whilst being fitted for said pants.
