When I was in Thailand a few years ago, I ran across a mural detailing the Ramakien, a mythology imported from India.

People walk into his mouth and they don't realize it's alive. This idea has become a minor obsession of mine over the years. I started drawing a stream-of-consciousness piece and it crept in (or out, or whatever) again:
