…I was doodling again and realised that this drawing may confuse some people who cannot fathom the hidden meaning behind this rather momentous piece of art.
I could regurgitate a montribal spew using words like juxtaposition, unrealised potential and dichotomous tension.
But in the end it’s just a naked man in a spotlight with a banana hanging over his head (you can see it full size at my flickr page).
I didn’t surf today.

The banana of Damocles? I love bananas.
Very cool drawing, Penfold.
I like the ‘Banana of Damocles’ – can I steal that for it’s title…? (ta x)
That is a good title ……. and I thought Lizza was addled – I’ll have to rethink to whole ‘Lizza’ thing now ……. oh dear
Very wise to reassess at this juncture – or she may hunt you down and addle you…
I can’t tell a lie (most times) … I confess, I AM addled. *sigh*
DaddyP don’t need hunting down and addling. He’s “gifted” that way already.
It could be “Gordy, an’ the not another banana”…….
Sorry, the Colonel made me do it.
No excuse T. Don’t let that monocled old halibut twist your arm. I’ll have a word next time I see him in the ‘Flamingo Lounge’…

Thank you. I’ll forward the bill for my services shortly…
Sometimes a promised cheque is just that – a promise.
I like that one too. Maybe I’ll use both x
Is there someone on the end of a fishing rod who is going to yank the banana away when he wakes up, posing the question ‘does our snoozy fellow know there is a banana there at all?’ ?
Well indeed Mr Bulist.
Maybe it’s a case of Schrodingers banana…?
maybe he only likes oranges
Or maybe oranges are really hard to tie to ropes…
huh?
Have you ever tried to dangle an orange from a rope? Very bloody difficult I can tell you. No wonder it’s a banana up there…
i think i better go back to playing scrabble
