The Art of FBFO: part 10
Every month, the For Bond Fans Only Facebook group asks members to vote for a Bond-related topic/theme to celebrate and discuss in depth. For instance, FBFO may spotlight one of the actors, a specific film in the series, a character, a novel/short story, etc.
Anything is up for suggestion, by any member... but there's a twist. You see, FBFO has an affectionate streak of sardonic humour running throughout it, very much like Bond himself, so there is only one caveat: all suggestions have to be pun-tastic! This is demonstrated by the gems (and groaners) below.
FBFO's very own Dave Spence has produced the artwork banner images for these monthly, pun-embracing, celebrations. Collated below are his designs from October 2023–June 2024. Enjoy.
October 2023: "Locquetober"
Theme: the one and only Emile Leopold Locque.
November 2023: "Govember"
