FLUFFY TOWN

There was once Alpha House, its sketch-Club, and all around a big city full of sky scraped by concrete and glass, and in between, other 'itch-hickers' taking over galleries and the street! I'm going down, down, down, down... to Fluffy Town!

M-A-P.


If you hadn't recognized the map of Kuwait in the last message, that's 0 point for you. Now, a map is the shape of a country at a given moment of history. For example this beautiful pouting odalisque watching teevee from her sofa has the opulent shape of a country that does not really exist as such nowadays. It's just the reminiscence of some period of its history. Which country-which-is-not-a country?
Once you find which country hides behind this character, you will think, isn't it bizarre to represent that country by that character? What is the common point? Well, does it HAVE TO BE a common point? Can anyone deduce the reality of a country by its mapped representation? Is it because you watch a country on google earth that you actually KNOW that country?
