Funny collages by Dean Marks.  What a fun idea!  It should totally become a Tumblr (is it still a thing?) or Instagram account.  Bananas in History with all sorts of artworks combined with bananas.  I would definitely follow something like this (wink, wink).…

(There was also a big jelly print that was too big to scan.) Thank you, thank you!
