Lou Bunin’s ALICE IN WONDERLAND
It's harder to be more surreal than the original, but this mixed live-actor stop-motion version by Lou Bunin tries hard.

Follies of the Madmen #284
Reminding me of that old proverb, "If billfolds were neckties, publicists would be geniuses."
Scanned from Good Housekeeping for December 1953.

Cabbage Walking
Artists in Kashmir have started walking cabbages (and other vegetables) on a leash, as a way to protest the ongoing military conflict over the region. One artist explains: "What I wanted to do basically is juxtapose the absurdity of this performance with what was happening around—the structures of violence that I was seeing around me."These Kashmir artists cite the Chinese artist Han Bing as inspiration, because he was the first to "walk a cabbage."
This reminds me of how, according to legend, the French poet Gerard de Nerval used to walk his lobster through Paris.
