Description

I'm submitting this because it has some quite good textures and one or two funny details.  It was drawn around 1977, I think.  It wasn't my idea.  The original point of this was about people who complain about the debauchery that goes on, but then we find that they've had to really go out of their way to see it.  This mild satire is ruined by the suicide, the stabbing and the pregnant woman being beaten - appalling things that happen when people don't take the trouble to look.  So, it seems as though the idea was not thought through.  Nor was it completed.  On the windowsill is what was clearly intended to be a newspaper, bearing a headline that we just couldn't be bothered to think up.  My favorite part of this picture is the chap in the lower right window, troubled by plaster flaking from his ceiling, which has been dislodged by the energetic love-making of the people in the room above. I draw your attention also to the curtains and the 1970 style television.
