Collage 61: “Peanut’s Big Adventure” (diptych, Blue Mtn., NC; KY).

—–

It’s at least 6 floors, Hucka D. And you’re in the final three so far (!)

Hucka D.:

Merk B. Coolie!

bb:

The final one, so far — “SoSo” — could be a type of culminating work, if so. It *could* be the end.

Hucka D.:

You’ve been saying that for weeks and weeks and weeks.

bb:

True, but I’m finally, finally running out of gallery space. Pretty big building!

Hucka D.:

Who’s SoSo, then[ since it’s so so important]?

bb:

Seal the Singer. But not Seal the Singer. A black child/ A black adult? Someone bald? I want to say it’s a child because this is a cartoon seal, moreso than the 2nd Life Grey Seal used in previous collages.

Hucka D.:

True[ enough].

bb:

It’s also an alien, since this is the tombstone of the Aurora, Texas alien that Firesign Theatre later poked fun of in their album Everything You Know Is Wrong.

Hucka D.:

Good to write that out.

bb:

I’m trying to guess the nature of the [local] graves of course.

Hucka D.:

Peter’s Grave. Peter Graves.

bb:

Peter SoSo.

Hucka D.:

Yup. (Hucka D. pops mouth with last “p”).

bb:

So the base photo for this one is White Rock, a projection from the much larger No Title Rock.

Hucka D.:

You got it.

bb:

The toy crew — Strang Gang — that tried to enter 4 Sticks back in January appears here, fronted by albino turtle. Another turtle, like we have Green Turtle near top of No Title Rock above it, and then a duplicate albino turtle making its way down the rock toward its larger version. The white fungus on White Rock is probably another representation of same. That’s the skull-like fungus from “Ghost Sticks”, a scary collage.

Hucka D.:

This isn’t as scary. This is acceptance.

bb:

Of death?

Hucka D.:

Yes. And a colorful afterlife.

bb:

It’s a mystery just like the SoSo grave of Pietmond was a mystery. 2 mysteries that are 1 mystery?

Hucka D.:

Appears so. SoSo so.

bb:

Stop that.

Hucka D.:

Okay.

bb:

Why are Aunt Joe and Uncle Zoe here?

Hucka D.:

They have also made peace with their evil villanous ways in the afterlife, like Darth Vader appearing to Luke Skywalker all shiny and stuff after his killing.

bb:

So they did do awful things.

Hucka D.:

Oh you bet. And to my people!

bb:

Sorry about that.

Hucka D.:

It’s okay. They all come back. Again and again. Week after week.

bb:

The albino turtle or what we are calling such might be another ghost, white in nature and all ectoplasm-y.

Hucka D.:

Yes.

bb:

The mystery of the 2989 curse is also resolved in the afterlife.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Multiplied together to get not one thing not another thing but both together. Afterlife.

bb:

And then the spinning Manchester statuette is also back, appearing one other time in Falmouth in “Fairy Branch”. It represents a body of a grave there, it seems. Seal again?

Hucka D.:

You bet.

bb:

This seems to resolve “Ghost Sticks”, it might resolve “Rock, His Story”, completing the story as it is, were.

Hucka D.:

You know the ultimate or final rock[ now].

“Then the Beemen came ashore, walked past the Green Turtle, ignored the blue-red dead man floating in the bay simply because he wasn’t there to them, and proceeded to declare the rock Edward’s Stone, shortened to Edward Stone. Then a TILE City formed. The Emerald. Piglet and Pooh not included originally. Left out. Then things got out of control and Piglet and Pooh added in. Contraption removed instead. Contraption removed by Green Lego Man, who became a composite of the 2 bee figures. Because in the collages you’re working back in time. Happens quite often[ in your work].”

bb:

“Beemen” seems closely related to “2989” true.

But it all still revolves around “Rock, His Story”, the culminating Whitehead X-ing collage, as it were, as it is.

Hucka D.:

Yes. That’s the main portal[ system]. Edward Stone, this one pictured in “Beemen” if it is the true Edward Stone, and it very well may be, is just below The Emerald. You can actually see a corner of the rock, as I’m checking, in “2989”. Are the 2 beemen, then, 49 and 61? Something to think about. 2 contrasting figures, one brutish and stocky and one non-muscular and thin. You are at a crossroads, baker b. You can go thick or thin — your choice.

bb:

I don’t know what that means, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Two paths, at right angles. 2989.

bb:

Still not…

Hucka D.:

Right and left. Up and down. Black and white. White is black and black is white. All over.

bb:

Do the [two types of] beemen like each other?

Hucka D.:

Kind of.

—–

bb:

I have a question, then, about what The Contraption is and functions as. Is it a splitter? Fission machine?

Hucka D.:

Fission and fusion both.

bb:

How is that?

Hucka D.:

It is a Wilson-Wheeler Machine, working fowards and backwards in time at once. It is a super sewing machine. Singer. We should talk about Barely Singwright when you’re ready.

bb:

Okay, but not just yet.

—–

“Green represents safety. Green represent protection. The turtle protects. Where is the cat part? Not needed to know yet.”

bb:

So this is like Jessee and Walt’s lab on Breaking Bad. Interesting.

Hucka D.:

The lab is an alchemist’s lab, not technically a chemist’s lab. The red-blue death is beyond the rock, out more in the real world. Edward Stone shelters the two individuals, busy as men bees, from all that. Until the end[ of Season 3].

bb:

Edwardston’s number is 3, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Now if we look at that picture (“Beemen”), we can see more the process. It deals with TILE. The blue lego piece at the top gives first clue that this is the top of the TILE Waterfall, and the tile/lego is about to drop down. Falls. The only reason we do not have a type of death at the bottom of the fall or falls is The Contraption. The Contraption must be a perpetual motion machine, and it is. It works backwards and forwards in time[ as stated]. It powers the fall of TILE. The lego pieces are like the marbles that fall. Pull up a picture of Newton 09 if you wish.

Newton 09 Collage

(two bee continued)

… several new collages to talk about, Hucka D. But I think the process is *finally* winding down. Must spend time on other things.

Hucka D.:

Yeah (laughs).

bb:

Woods *definitely* today. Missed them yesterday.

Hucka D.:

To the collages[ then]!

bb:

Well, “Rock, His Story” is obviously a type of culminating collage, taking and extending pictorial elements from the past number of collages before it. Central to the whole story is Whitehead Crossing’s The Emerald, front and center here.

The Emerald is again represented by Green Lego Man, as it was in “2989” from several days back now. So many collages!

Hucka D.:

Yes, don’t get overwhelmed. Take a deep breath and then proceed.

bb:

Bits and pieces of other Whitehead photos find their way in here. But the base photos come from The Emerald, and both have our hero Rock in them, who is a toy avatar. Rock is the Rambo toy pictured not once or twice but three times within. 3 Rocks, 3 separate photos of the same toy avatar. Since it is so much about him — his story — let’s just look at the pictorial elements in order and spell it out. First the landing…

Hucka D.:

That’s perhaps the most important photo added to the two base ones. Let’s look at this more in depth. Show the reader or readers how this was done.

bb:

Okay, first the base photo…

… then the first photo added to make it a proper collage. Same original dimensions, but reduced 50 percent all around for the purposes of the collage.

Hucka D.:

No, as I understand it was reduced…

bb:

… yes, reduced 50 percent already. You are correct, Hucka D. But the original photo inside the camera was the same as the first, dimension-wise. I just made this one smaller because the resolution wasn’t that good — that’s how it entered the blog in the first place. Both of these pics were put in the same blog post originally, coming from, let’s see, probably early May 2012. I bet The Emerald is already showing[ this year] Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Correct!

bb:

Here’s the smaller photo, then…

… and this is how they fit together to manifest the newest collage process proper…

So there’s your 2 Rocks to begin, and The Emerald as the bridging, landscape element. This is centered upon The Emerald, once again. It revolves around it.

Hucka D.:

What was next?

bb:

There were some tests with the 4 Sticks dude. Eventually a corridor was made along the right side of the smaller base photo, the width of the box that Boss Moss comes in, as already seen in “Unboxed”, an animation from several days ago in 2 parts. So although Rock doesn’t appear in former collages, this Boss Moss does. In the animation he is boxed and then unboxed. Here are the 2 parts[ again]…

In the final version of “Rock, His Story”, we have both boxed and unboxed versions remaining, the unboxed version directly above the boxed version. The boxed version defines the limits of another Whitehead landscape photo added pretty early in the process, and this would be from the percieved center of the 4 Sticks region, not yet appearing in the Falmouth series. Specifically, it’s of 5 bottles set up at this center, the germ of a toy happening that hasn’t taken place yet. My idea is that more bottles from Hucka D.’s stash of 55 or so — also appearing a bit later in the collage at the bottom — would be used to enlarge the germ or seed process.

Hucka D.:

But this hasn’t taken place yet. Yet in the *collage* we’re kind of doing this already. You are, I mean.

bb:

Yes… suppose. So not all 5 bottles are produced. This is the 3rd base photo I’m talking about. It’s reversed or turned left to right as it is introduced into the collage. The 4 Sticks guy was removed at this time, but soon reappears later on the left in not 1 but 4 connected manifestations, that turn around like a wheel. One could assume that this is about the 4 Sticks area as well.

Hucka D. (reinforcing):

This is about 4 Sticks. The core of it, I mean.

bb:

Yeah. It’s about the landing of Rock, I believe, in Whitehead Crossing and then moving through 4 Sticks, as we’ll put it, to reach The Emerald and Edward Stone. His crashed rocket ship from the southern edge of Whitehead Crossing is added next, along with the bottles at the bottom. Here are the 3 involved photos:

5 bottles marking the center of 4 Sticks.

Rock’s crashed rocket ship.

Hucka Doobie’s 55 or so bottles, to the east of 4 Sticks and to the south of The Emerald/Edward Stone.

And then this green lined log was added at a certain point to point to Rock hanging on the branch in the collage’s center, still. He remains there throughout, although in the last stages Green Man stands directly behind him, representing The Emerald himself[ as stated].

Hucka D.:

Green like The Emerald, okay.

bb:

So what happens is that you have that corridor defined to the right of the smaller base photo within the larger base photo. This is defined by the Boss Moss box, width-wise. The boxed Boss Moss probably represents Rock boxed up, as it were, in his rocket ship, traveling in from still unknown dimensions.

Hucka D. (correcting):

You know where he came from. Virginia.

bb:

Okay, so let’s run with that theory, then. That Rock came from the center of the Synching Creek Designated Mystery Area, the SCDMA.

Hucka D.:

It’s truth (!)

bb:

But Boss Moss also represents The Emerald itself — he’s very green like The Emerald is very green — same green. So the later added Green Lego Man represents The Emerald but so does this Boss Moss. And I should add that Boss Moss has appeared in one other collage of Falmouth, and that’s the big diptych involving Stonethwaite, where you turn all the way around in the center of the village. We’ve already discussed that big collage here [LINK].

Hucka D.:

Yes, this is another big collage, then, and Boss Moss and his even freakier double, partially hiding behind a tree here, return. They are a frame for the Stonethwaite collage, and they act the same for The Emerald in, what was the name of it?

bb:

“Rock, His Story”.

Hucka D.:

And the big Stonethwaite Collage?

bb:

I can’t remember. I’ll have to check.

Hucka D.:

Hurry it up, then.

bb (slightly irritated):

Thanks.

—–

bb (returning):

Well, it doesn’t have a name yet, Hucka D. Let’s just call it Collage 31/32. We’re up to 52 now (!)

Hucka D.:

(!)

bb:

But, like you said, it’s all winding down.

Hucka D.:

Sad. But you gotsta get out in those woods.

bb:

This is the last, big hurrah. This Collage 52.

Hucka D. (hurrying it up):

Rock lands, get’s out of his rocket ship. But now we have you, *baker*, also exiting the ship. This is the same you as seen in the collage before this…

bb:

“Contraption”, yes.

Hucka D.:

Thank you. And the contraption returns as well. It’s in the background of The Emerald. Originally, I remember you had 4 Sticks operating or seeming to turn it here. Now it stands alone. What is it?

bb:

A question to be asking! It is half mine, half the alien’s… I think.

Hucka D.:

No, this is what I think. I believe it is what the aliens are building in the woods, and why they need that metal from Rust Spot. The contraption probably is another ship. You have your toy happenings, and Lion’s Roar is pictured in… what was it again. Oh, I remember: “Contraption”. Duh. So that’s kind of your culminating toy happening so far, moving beyond the earlier Billfork[ event]. And also Whitehead Crossing hasn’t really extended itself in that direction yet. You’ve guessed something else. Do you want to say it?

bb:

About the aliens?

Hucka D.:

Yes.

bb:

I’ve theorized that the not only “own” or call Bill Mountain their territory but the whole of Frank Park. And Herman Park and only that is mine. Now it just so happens that the two legitimate toy happenings so far have taken place in Herman Park — the Billfork and the Lion’s Roar you mentioned. In “Contraption”, my Lion’s Roar is directly juxtaposed with their Rust Spot, which is forbidden fruit, as I know now. Yes, I know!

Hucka D.:

Yes.

bb:

And the colorful contraption sits on top of the Rust Spot stuff — I won’t call it junk because it would be valuable to me[ for a toy event], and it seems to be valuable to the aliens [for a parallel type toy event]. The aliens could be artists.

Hucka D.:

Could be. They like your collages. They helped you with them.

bb:

I don’t doubt it.

Hucka D.:

They are sending you a message about Frank Park and Whitehead Crossing in particular.

bb:

Don’t build there?

Hucka D.:

Umm, not exactly.

bb:

What then?

Hucka D.:

Let’s go back to the base photos[ of “Rock, His Story”]. Rock crash lands on the southern end of Whitehead Crossing. You have his rocket ship pictured to the, left. Rock is outside it. But you know this is just the actor T-Bonz playing rock in the movie Gene Fade is making, “Fade to Moss” I believe is the working title.

bb:

I believe so.

Hucka D.:

He’s requested that Fade produce the funds for a paint job for the old rocket. Fade has resisted.

bb:

But why am *I* coming out of this rocket.

Hucka D.:

You aren’t. T-Bonz is positioning a cut-out of you inside the rocket[ as you’ve also guessed]. You are a rocket man as well, but only as a collage element. Baker Bloch exits too, but he’s just stuff of a collage as well. That’s of course your primary alter ego. I wish I had an alter ego.

bb:

I believe Hucka Doobie is your alter ego, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

No, unfortunately, Hucka D., me, and Hucka Doobie, also me, are the same. You are not the same as Baker Bloch. Not yet.

bb:

Not yet?

Hucka D.:

No.

bb:

Will I be?

Hucka D.:

Yes.

bb:

So we have to move faster. The 4 Sticks guy appears below the rocket in the new collage, spinning around in 4 manifestations. As he is loaded down with sticks on his back, but also has a stick in front to act as a cane, this is the 4 sticks again. 4 sticks — 4 Stick Guys. Dorothy is in the middle of them. Dorothy apppears in “Unboxed” with Boss Moss and also Ray Davies, who also makes a reappearance here to the far right. His figure overlaps one of the 4 Sticks bottles, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Remember your story about Ray and the bottles of Lion’s Roar? That applies here[ LINK].

bb:

Should we end?

Hucka D.:

Yes.
