Brilliant!
Many thanks. 🙂 Hope others will try the form and give it their own spin. #townpig didn’t exist on Twitter when I first posted this set of compositions. It does now. 😀
Awesome!

I’m rather fond of this mix of Elmediatland and Bonnywoodland, if I may be so bold to assume that’s what it is. (The Smoking Minion is especially delicious.) More, please.
I have a number of written pieces which required a different type of accompanying visuals. It seemed to me that monochrome, possibly early photography or vintage B&W from the 1930s better fit the absurdist/surreal style and content of the text pieces. Your Bonnywood posts served as a perfect example-template. 😀
The Marlene Dietrich surreal came from a recent comment in the Guardian about how she had outpaced a younger actress. As I was composing it, your posts came to mind, style & tone, as well as the usefulness of those old time B&W cinema stills. 🙂
I’ve been watching a Korean rom-com dramedy-farce, Business Proposal, on Netflix. An absurd, at times silly, tale of disguised identities, misunderstandings and complications. The absurd elements and Lucile Ball slapstick at times reminds me of some of your scenarios. The fact that some characters are watching a “soap” that mirrors their reality feels like the fourth wall antics your characters get into.
Excellent collection.
Thanks very much. 🙂
