Bronze Boy's Tiger

At Linda's Suggestion, the Bronze Boy should have a cat, I chose a strong cat to protect him, a Tiger. The Tiger appears to be content being petted, that is the nature of cats.

While the image was added at the end of the previous Bronze Boy Linda's suggestion changed the nature of the image significantly, and all in this group should be able to see it. I consider it a joint image, Linda's idea, and my execution.

I say: Collaboration, "Two heads better than one" is an understatement, in "Bronze Boy Makes Magic" there were variations on the Boy and Hydrant theme at the suggestion of viewers. Collaboration is both a challenge and lots of creative fun.

HA, "content being petted" 'til they want lunch

Don, I think you can go further with this concept: jungle setting, or schoolground, or petting zoo? Or a triptych showing what happens when things go horribly wrong...

Without you Linda Bronze Boy and the Tiger would not exist for that I thank you. But you have forced me to spend a lot of effort thinking about Triptych themes, and my addiction to research is triggered.

Your Triptych-Three suggestion... Left image, peaceful Bronze Boy, Mid-image, Bronze Boy Meets Tiger, and the final one, Tiger Meats Bronze Boy. Bronze Boy's meat being eaten would not be liked by many "conservative people" and you and I might disappear to cells in Arkham Asylum for having dark thoughts. You Linda are Eve-like and tempt me to bite a dark thought Triptych Apple.

While the Tiger eating Bronze Boy would be a moral ... practical... dark lesson about trust, it would perhaps become famous. The one most remembered is Bambi Meets Godzilla a short film by Marv Newland. He is forgotten but the film has not, Marv was confined in the famous Gotham City Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane for his dark view of Bambi's fate. If you recall, Bambi's mother was killed early in his life. Batman idolized Bambi because he was also an orphan early in life. This is discussed in a PhD Thesis by Ora McWilliams referenced below.

Another famous Triptych is Mickey Mouse in Vietnam. Image left, Mickey before a poster, Join the Army See The World, Mid-image Mickey arriving in Nam, signs saying fighting this way, Image Final, Mickey with laying dead a bullet in his head. The CIA rewarded the creator for anti-American thoughts. He too is in Arkham Asylum.

I like this iteration better than the pop art. Nicely done.
