Okay, explanation-time!

What does the title say?
- "Successful bullying of Floyd". It's a fun twist of the original title for the play; "Successfully freezing of Mr. Moro". (And yes, the whole play is based on the famous picturewww.spartacus.no/frys/pic10.jp… )

Who are these?
- Three of these guys; youtu.be/TRYvKc17T0w?t=1h33m . Why I picked just these three, I have no idea. Jimmy (the guy with the hat and boxing gloves) is the one who hates Floyd (the colourful hippie) the most, so he was the first one I wanted. I included the third guy, David, simple because his nature is such a beautiful contrast to Floyd. Anyway!

What is the funny here?
- First off, this play takes place in the 20's, while Floyd claims he belong in the future. The others think he's nuts (he is a bit nuts, actually) so they all have a sort of hate for him. He only lives with them because he HAS BEEN married to the sister of the main characters wife.
- Also, the guy playing Floyd tore his Achilles tendon when they played this in Stockholm. He could still play this character, but with a bandaged foot. They wrote in the play that he "took a step into the future, but broke his leg in the process", and I think that's hilarious.

Why are they painting?
- I drew the lineart to the painting that Floyd is drawing, and then I laughed and said to myself "looks like something he would draw to himself". Then this whole idea popped up.
