And speaking of thinking…perhaps “brain bats” are a great descriptive metaphor for certain mental states.

In my humble opinion, “vacation hair” may be among the least of his problems.

Great post and images. Love those brain bats!
The chap with an eyeball for a head bathing in the middle there is from a Japanese manga/anime/movie called Gege Gege no Kitaro. That’s Kitaro’s eye/grandfather if I remember correctly… or something like that.
There’s a whole cast of characters you should check out, all are famous Japanese yokai (youkai). Yokai are spirits/monsters/ghosts/what-have-you. You should also check out Taakashi Miike’s film Yokai Daisenso. The nurikabe is one of my particular favorites.
Liesje, I *knew* you’d be aware of the origin! You’re my go-to girl for all things Japan! Thank you.
That kind of tihinkng shows you\’re on top of your game
