About this list:

Which is more surreal? The art... or the interpretation? I'm not telling. Mostly because I don't know.

Mwa-ha-ha-ha

First to recommend

Description

Evil industrialist? Lecherous cad? Dick Dastardly? Snidely Whiplash? Peculiar Purple Pie Man of Porcupine Peak?

Beware the bomb-wielding mustache twirler!

"Here, here! You oughtn't to do a thing like that: going around tying defenseless people to railroad tracks. It's not the Canadian Way."

A Gentleman's Adventure

First to recommend

Description

I say! You there! Bird! Mmm-hmm-mmm, yes! You there, hovering against the laws of physics! Yes, yes! Would you be so sporting as to instruct your flockmates in the background there not to rupture my aerial apparatus? Yes, yes. Yes, I see. Very good. I'll have to be on my way now. Pip pip! It seems that I've chosen quite anachronistic footwear. I must rectify this at once! Cheerio, chap! Cheerio!

the forgotten bride 2

Description

Dear Headless Forgotten Bride in the Unlikely Brown Fur Shoes,

Putting your lack of head inside of the Dexter machine is not going to help you. Please step away from the nefarious retro killing machine disguised as a washer or you might just lose your lack of head. And then he'll never take you back. Unless you replace it with a flaming pumpkin. Then he might. I saw the girl he left you for, and she had a flaming pumpkin for a head.

Thanks,
Management

On Hipster Island, when you don't grow up, you grow antlers. Isn't that right, tree girl? You're going to turn into a moose. And your trust fund can't help you now....

This is what the bottle always looked like when I made gin and tonic for my grandmother when I was three.

It's a lot different now.

I can actually lift the bottle.

Traveling large version

First to recommend

Description

"The rumble goes through her softly,
in her sleepy head she thinks rain.
A quiet rumble again,
peering out the window slat just a little bit
Eyes wide now but no eyes could take in all that gigantic softness
Her breath catches and they pass huge and gentle.
One looks her way she ducks when she looks again
they have gone."

So, seriously... there were these whales. And they were swimming through the air outside. And they had these big top circus tents and...

Would you hush and finish your rye? I swear, Papa, will the tall tales we hear out of this child never cease? Now, go get washed up! We'll be late for court!

-Two ducks

-Seven thousand Macedonians in full battle array
-Eight brass monkeys from the ancient sacred crypts of Egypt

Walk With Me - Rabbit Print

First to recommend

Description

Do not follow nefarious rabbit. Follow speaking bunny = danger. Don't you read?! Obviously not. Your clothes don't even fit you! I can tell you're still thinking about it.

Be careful or you will never live to learn algebra! And then where will you be? Dead. Without ever knowing algebra.

sprouts

Description

This is the correct way to serve them in Belgium, although sometimes modified if served mashed in a stoemp in which the heads of tiny Belgians replace the sausage. Bon appetit!

Guardians of the life tree

First to recommend

Description

Guardians? No way. I don't buy it for one second. They are CLEARLY eating the roots. Key-fruit is falling from it. That is not protection. They just want it so they can build chairs that their big bear butts will actually fit in. Oh man... now we're back to the opposable thumb issue. Bears... hammers... nails... saws... GAH! Chaos!
