Interesting. Maybe a political cartoon? Maybe "Carroll For Cuts" was a newspaper column? Or a campaign by someone named Carroll? That guy has a kiss on his nose, and is dancing a Maori dance....maybe he is a white politician that got the approval of the Maori community?

Anyway, here is the original to that clock tower...but I am sure you already knew it, Ron. :)

Well, that takes away the surreal aspect of the drawing. What I found fascinating about it to begin with is the three different styles, basically the grass skirt guy is very cartoony, the "bell tower" looks like something drawn by Boris Artzybasheff, and the girl is much more realistic looking. I found it to be fascinating that there were these three styles in the drawing.

With that picture of the Bell Tower, we see that the only "cartoony" aspect is still the guy, while the other two are rendered in a more realistic representation.

I wonder why she extends beyond the boarders of the picture?
