Am I the only one who thinks that the above and the following 
(by Jorn Barger) are somehow "related"?

I bet that the first picture is some kind of rediddle of 
Jorn's (to increase horizontal size, probably). Is a David Wallis
out here to prove me wrong?

BTW: these are Jorns other versions (maybe also rediddles,
they tend to appear with false credits everywhere, so I use
"Jorn" for all of them)
