3. That is really fantastic.

That's the sort of painting art history teachers will point at in 400 years, to sum up an era.

8. I totally missed that!

tanks!

The only characters that are supposed to be there are the Mad Hatter and Alice. There's a rabbit, but not a white one.

Everyone else - no ties I can see to the other guests (at the original party) but it's been years since I read the original.

6. I saw it on another site also, but thought it deserved a share here at DU

I like the size of "jesus" bush as compared to Darth Cheney who has a knife vs a shotgun.

I thought the artist nailed the whole thing very well.

17. Me too. Do you see Rumsfeld and Cheney peering over the top?

They, along with Death, are the puppeteers. It's a perfect image, imho.

21. I saw the original painting at an art gallery in San Luis Obispo, Ca

There were postcard size reprints for only $25. I wish I had picked up one. Thanks for posting this!

23. oil wells on heads of fat cats on left,

and the generals on the right remind me of another artwork/cartoon, although I can't place them. Who is the ape and the jester?
