So the Baha Men's 'Who Let the Dogs Out' was really a song about The Beach Boys?  Who knew?  Otherwise...we're really scrapin' for stuff to talk about here.

How 'bout those Broncos?  Nicer weather this weekend?  Howz yer better half?  Ready ANY good books lately?  [not at THIS site....but I haven't commented as I don't want to spoil it for the baker's dozen, or so, who give a rat's ass]

Amazing. I will now forever think of Al Jardine as a duck.
Brian going fishing for ideas while the others are on tour in the tall grasses and flora.
What if the four ducks in the sky were The Beatles

Trying and failing to find online that illustration from Millward's book  which depicts the Boys as animals wading through long grass… Broan's a bear, Al's a duck, Bruce might be a raccoon … I think.

Anyone able to provide a link here?

The Byrds, perhaps? At least they were "hip" enough to play Monterey (to say nothing of being "Eight Miles High").

Years ago, I contacted the artist of that painting, George Chastain, and he was very nice in replying.  He remembered the painting, which he had been commissioned to do for the book (along with a bunch of other artists), "The Beach Boys" that came out in the late '70's.   He had since sold the painting, which he stated he regretted, and that initially it was one of the band themselves who wished to purchase it, he recalled it being either Carl or maybe Bruce.     Ultimately it was sold to someone else.   I cannot find this email exchange I had with him on my computer, but it was within the last 5 to 7 years.  He is still with us, I believe and may be open to contact and questions. 
A quick search brought the following links:

Thanks for posting the illustration, Alan. May I ask, What is M7 & ISP technology processes under 3400K source lighting?

Just looking through the Byron Preiss book that has that 'Country Air' cartoon. As AGD said, some great artwork, some of which could be a discussion in themselves. Any chance you could do some more Alan?

 ie 'When I Grow Up To Be A Man' drawing by a Ralph Reese. Dennis going for a woman's chest, Al with a gun. Also 'Fun,Fun,Fun' by a Harvey Kurtzman. A blonde driving off with 5 obviously, shall we say 'satisfied' naked guys beside 5 limp surfboards. Brilliant!

I did find a couple from the book....

'Long Promised Road' and 'All This Is That'.

I will if I get time, and if you can tell me what the hell the picture on page 129 is supposed to be about.

Yep! Smiley  I'm not sure why a contemplative Denny would be musing in front of a painting of Mike on the beach getting a massage from a gaggle of tiny beach babes.  Unless it's a "reimagining" of some other famous image (ie, looks like a different picture with Denny's head pasted in later).

And how about the ludicrous Surfer Girl air-brush pic - that would go well on a Panel Van down Frankston way.

Funny thing is I seem to recall a picture of Mike in just that setting. His pool, but don't remember where.

One that does not need an explanation is '15 Big Ones'. The group singing on a street corner.

If you do get the time, some of those shots would be appreciated by those here who have not seen them I'm sure.

I don't know anything about dogs, but if the Beach Boys were Smurfs, their names would be Crazy, Baldy, Pudgy, Shorty, and Hefty. Smiley
