As far as confessions go I first began to look at Ooks the day after we had moved to Pied Cow and the two neighbors came over to holler on the berm. There was no fence then. They had to squat to pass under the lemon tree and ended up sitting on the berm used to enclose the flood. In those days the whole street and most yards were flooded by waters to enable the citrus. The spectacle of these two was amazing because they were precursors of all bonkedly bonks common decades years later in every store. They were then so rare that when the first drafts of the Ooks came out not even The New Times would take it and it only appeared by accident after Esteban Coop cut the head off the body off and put in that ten year anniversary issue. He said it could always be reattached and sent round again. Round again, round again the Ooks have gone, accreting to themselves all manner of Pop, realized in that wonderful title, The Dame of Guapa Pop, which was the body reattached. So Susan, the epitome of Pop, and her father Turk, became the purveyors of Pop, its publisher. But neither of  was as large as the putative step Dame, Damer. The whole family begged to be called Myth, and so it went, but in fact there was no Turk. The two ladies lived alone, where Jane was the mother and Susan the daughter. They inhabited the Globe, meaning it was their kind of summer home.

For background consider Massimo Giacon: The Pop Will Eat Himself 
Pop Surreal (Gary Baseman and Mark Ryden interviews) "mutants ceramics for the X-Men of everydays...Pop, seen as an evil and without conscience entity, very different from pop art of Warhol! In fact, this terrible and apocalyptic look of my ceramics is well caught by E. L. Francalanci in his preface to the exhibition...." See also Popism, Andy Warhol, "the inside and put it outside, took the outside and put it inside." Do you know what it would mean to display the inside out? OOk.

What might also consider as a lens on this reality the Chas Bonnet Syndrome where vivid, complex recurrent visual hallucinations produce are "lilliputian" characters or objects are smaller than normal.
