Collage 08 Analysis 02

(continued from)

bb:

So now we come to the human elements of the Collage 08 animation. We’ve already mentioned Edward Swift sprawled out on the table that the Space Ghost characters sit around. He does not have a counterpart in the second part of the animation. Then also in animation 01 we have Moss from The IT Crowd again, who has already made an appearance in the new series in collages 04 and 05. He guards the Red Door; waves off possible trespassers[ in those collages]. However in this collage he seems to be *trapped* behind the red door of the Newfoundland station. Thoughts, Hucka D.?

Hucka D.:

He is trapped in the station. Like you will be trapped in the Red Head cabin in a probable future spinoff.

bb:

Then in animation 02 we have a shirtless Peter Gabriel as the Rael character from the fabulous concept album “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway” by his old group Genesis. He stares toward the station, but Moss is no longer there behind the door, which has been shut in the meantime. Instead Fin McBride has showed up at the station, luggage in hand. The luggage bag he holds is the same color as Moltar in front of him, sitting with Space Ghost and Zorak at the table that Edward Swift has disappeared from in the meantime. This disappearance *reveals* more of Moltar’s color and identification with this piece of luggage.

“A constant — actually there are 2 constants in the collage in terms of added elements. We already mentioned that the blurry faced man appearing in the foreground does not change between the 2 animations. Then in the background we have Walter and Lao Russell’s Swannanoa Mansion near Waynesboro, Virginia remaining unchanged between the two halves of Collage 08. The huge looming nature of the mansion contrasts the smallness of the Newfoundland station below it. In the future, Hucka D., we will probably live in Swannanoa.”

Hucka D.:

Yes.

bb:

It is our future home. Like as depicted in, well, the collage “Future Home” from the last collage series.

Hucka D.:

You will live in Swanteen, yes.

bb:

Or Otanoa.

Hucka D.:

Either one. Or both. Or none.

bb:

Future up in the air, still. Like the Swannanoa Mansion is way up the mountain here, in the distance. Seeable and viewable but still quite far off. A considerable trek still.

Hucka D.:

How do the humans relate? Is Peter Gabriel the same as Moss[ between the 2 animations]? Is Edward Swift the same as Fin? Both the latters’ heads are conveniently framed[ by other picture elements] at the top. Fin even seems to sprout 2 tiny horns through the light shining on the station behind him. Fin has just arrived, and looks out at all the seeming cartoon chaos spread out in front of him. He looks at the shirtless Peter Gabriel who is Rael, wondering who the heck this is as well. And we’ve seen him before…

bb:

You mean the last collage of the Sam Parr series. Also an animation.

Hucka D.:

And then the beer bottles there too. You better put up a pic.

bb:

On it.

This is the first part of the 2 part animation of Sam Parr 10, Hucka D. Peter Gabriel-as-Rael looks on at a scene again. A tiny house or studio or station again. A man is inside again, like Moss in the current work. Trapped? And then Ray Davies appears beside him, or just behind him actually. They gaze together. Ray Davies has just showed up in a new collage, the 4 part animation I’ve named “Midgetville”. Actually this is the collage immediately before the current one (Collage 07 to Collage 08). And then, as you’ve alluded to, we have the same beer bottles from before, and indicating the passage of time. Actually in looking at this, the picture above *would* be part 2 of the 2 part animation of Sam Parr 10, since all those beers have been drunk already. This is the same situation as part 2 of the current collage.

Hucka D.:

There’s that mouse again. *The* Mouse.

bb:

So here’s part 1 of Sam Parr 10[ then].

And we also have Edward Swift sitting at (but not sprawling on) a table. But we have no equivalent for the propped up “E” of Sam Parr 10. Nor the humanized red fox. But that’s Peter Gabriel again, dressed up like a character from the Foxtrot album. That Rael from “Lamb Lies Down on Broadway” would show up in part 2 again represents a passage of time, since the Foxtrot album was released a little before the Lamb album. But is the fox Moss? I suppose this is a segue to Collage 09 of the new series, Hucka D., since Redd Foxx appears in that one, and also we have additional images from “Midgetville” to analyze there. Are we done with this one for now?

Hucka D.:

The blurred out man in the foreground is probably homeless. The man who lives in the mansion in the background has one of the finest homes possible. That’s another opposition. Thank you and good night.
