Cover of Pink Panther and The Inspector #26 (Published May 1975 by Gold Key)


Dali's "Daddy Longlegs of the Evening - Hope!'" (1940)


a) Petal like forms become wings

The stamen becomes the underside of the lower jaw

Crutch becomes the vertical bar of the window frame








b)  The face becomes the inflatable toy






c) The spider becomes the boat, or is it the close eye that becomes the boat with the eyelid as the close sail, or both? Here we're looking at something setting off ideas rather than becoming a faithful representation








d) The viola becomes the jacket and head of the  Inspector while the bow becomes the back of his collar.







e) The dead body draped over the branch becomes the neck and head of the sea monster with the breast becoming its eye, and the tree becoming the pipe.
