    could the guy on the tricycle be Huggy Bear from Starksy and Hutch?

    Just about to guess the same. Definitely fits the 60's/70's tv theme.

    Re: the Gilligan/Bob Denver picture: Isn't that Kristie McNicol on the TV screen on that robot? the Robot also appeared in an episode of Gilligan's Island and also later in a TV ad for K-Tel's "Music Machine" album from the 70s.

    That definitely looks like Gilligan there. I had thought that the robot was a reference to Lost in Space, as others have said. Maybe there's some sort of connection between Gilligan's Island and Lost in Space?? Not sure, maybe they're just getting at the common theme of the sitcoms??
    Yeah, Gilligan's Island used to come on right before Lost in Space. Or, maybe it was the other way round??

    All I have to say is if it's this much fun looking at the 9 pics on the cover, I can't WAIT to see the 28 page color booklet in the vinyl edition.

    No kidding... I really enjoyed this "other" scavenger hunt by the fans deciphering what the pictures came from...

    Hubby and I were discussing about this.... why 60's & 70's?

    I offered maybe because of how we got here throughout the years of messes from that point on - you know how some people were outspoken and very active in what they believed was right. Hubby offered on how deeply "emotional" (for lack of better word) women were... that perhaps it was like "please don't do that like this beautiful woman did."

    I'm really curious why they were chosen and how it fits with the "Backspacer" - which to me means trying to erase the damages done over the years... and trying to "fix" them.

    Dreams and memories.... hmmm....

    remembering them.... do or don't do what they did...

    Dreams - impossible but "possible".... like the insurance frauds these days... (ie denying people health coverage because of 'pre-exisitng 'conditions because they know it'd be impossible to cover EVERYONE without folding or making profit...so they need to make it look "possible" like the magicians)

    got so much to say but I'd ramble all night!

    In the magician art, the bubble has; hands catching a tambourine (Ed at the end of Baba), the bat (the stuffed bat Eddie had on stage as did the band), 5 eyes (5 band members). Don't know about the rest, but it is a start.


    Good finds! How about the 3 people/ghosts being the mammasan trilogy?

    The bottom left pic to me could represent media (Gilligan's Island/i.e. tv shows) and conspiracies (UFO's) distracting us from the desctruction going on in the real world (the bomb going off)

    the girl in the red dress is killin me!!! Who is she? :geek:

    Farah Fawcett?

    I thought about her too but I dont think so becaus it look like a red dress and Farrah's was a bathing suit and I think that since the other 2 drawings are identical to the famous pictures the third one probably is too, so it would have to be a red dress and blach high heels.

    I thought about every single bond girl, Sofia Loren,Jennifer Beals, Marilyn Monroe, you name it - LOL! and I just can't put my finger on it.

    Oh...well, I'm out of ideas then.

    Hey...I really suck at trying to find the other model.

    But I found this information interesting.... not sure if maybe it'd help you find the other one (unless you've already stumped on this page)

    Please let me know if this post is really useless and I'll delete it.

    Female supermodels

    Origins of the term

    The term "supermodel" took hold in the popular culture of the 1980s and 1990s. However, according to Model: The Ugly Business of Beautiful Women by Michael Gross, the first known use of the term "supermodel" was in the 1940s by an agent named Clyde Matthew Dessner in a "how-to" book he wrote about modeling. Amongst those who could be considered supermodels by the standards of the 1940s were Cathee Dahmen, Dorian Leigh, Dovima, and Anita Colby.

    One of Lisa Fonssagrives' more than 200 covers on Vogue.
    Lisa Fonssagrives is often credited as the first true supermodel. Fonssagrives was in nearly every fashion magazine from the 1930s to the 1950s, including Town and Country, Life, Vogue, the original Vanity Fair, and even Time magazine. No one has surpassed her appearance on over 200 covers of Vogue. The relationship with Fonssagrives enabled Vogue to shape the future of modeling. The cover to the right draws on the appeal of high fashion being attainable by a housewife and cooking.

    In 1968, an article in Glamour magazine described Twiggy, Cheryl Tiegs, Veruschka, Jean Shrimpton and fifteen other top models as "supermodels". The term supermodel gained currency in the 1960s by analogy with Andy Warhol's "Superstars".
