The first page of the comic Max Ernst "A Week of Kindness" can be translated into a person mimicking a rooster in a ritualistic manor unknown to the viewer. wether they are doing it for money or for some grand purpose it is very unknown. The second page shows a feather caped person leaning over a presumed corpse, while the rooster watches on from the corner. In the third page it shows the spirit of a dead girl rising from her grave while flanked on both sides by men with chicken heads. She looks only slightly confused, which is more than I would have done. The fourth page shows what appears to be three statues all in relaxed poses while the two rooster headed men are talking amongst each other while folding a bit of fabric. The fifth page starts us off with a doozy when a rooster man has apparently walked into his bedroom to find a woman, (his lover maybe? the world will never know,) collapsed right beside the bed, dead. The sixth page finally has something thats a little more straightforward and I can understand without sending my brain into a tizzy. In a living space with a grand fireplace a man and woman stand presumably having fun and dancing some old fashion interpretations of modern dances while a very ominous rooster man is creeping in through the door. And now we are back into the blizzard with a rooster man and two lovely ladies sitting around a table, the man presumably showing off the large stick he has in his hands while the ladies are somewhat impressed. In the final page we were shown two women in nightgowns are pressed against the wall, and I'm assuming scared out of their minds as their house is about to burn down from a fallen lamp and a horrible chicken headed bear is right outside the door.
