Critical analysis of the Express cartoon thread

It's a Twin Peaks reference. We've already seen the Suburban Kitchen of Doom (filled with the kind of barely concealed dread and violence witnessed throughout Fire Walk With Me) and the Black Lodge (windows looking out onto stygian void of incomprehensible terror). Now he's moving onto mynah birds and owls that are not what they seem.

Next he'll have the gay barber get possessed by Killer Bob.

Why does he need a light on with the sun blazing through the window?

The whole thing is creepy. Paul, are you OK?

Seriously, what the fuck is with the owl? Nothing to do with the story or location, completely out of context (nocturnal owls being well known for their love of brillian sunsh..oh, wait), totally out of scale. Of all the bizarre things in his cartoons up to and including the morse code surrounding the sun and the apparent water droplets coming out of it (is the sun sweating?), the owl has got to be the weirdest.

Rumour has it that there's an apartment in Amsterdam where the gable is topped off with a massive carving of an owl.
My pals and I spent many evenings trying to find it, never did.

If that's the location it would explain the Catherine-wheel eyes (A well known medical symptom of Skunk).
I'm puzzled how an NHS hospital materialized there though (Unless it's a hallucination).

A house opposite me has a large stone owl adorning the roof - apparently to deter seagulls. Like Thomas's... er....artwork, it doesn't work.

Althea, all good Doctors wear bow ties now.

Bow ties are cool.

Re. bow ties. I'm reminded of what David Quantick said:

Jubilee fever!!!! Yes it's all so exiting! Aren't we all loving the build up to celebrating our wonderfull queen's special day? Tea and tiny sandwiches and lovely union jack bunting and flags everywhere? Oh how lovely!

Honestly, some people just cannot fathom that not everybody cares or wants to go to a bloody street party.

Not sure whether this is related, but local Sainsburys had knocked asapagus down from £3.00 to £0.30 a bunch.
It still wasn't shifting, probably due to Glaswegian's natural suspicion of stuff that's green, or not covered in batter,
(Double fail Sainsburys).
I wondered whether it was some kind of Jubilee offer.
This stuff's expensive, so I reckon the Queen must eat it.

McCoy family will be eating aspsragus all next week.
It's a good thing the weather's warm, so I can leave the pissoir wondows full open.
