These are examples of some of the early collages that I was exposed to. I remember being so taken with them that I included Xeroxed copies of them in an English essay I did on Camus. My mark was average. When I asked to talk to the English prof about the paper, she refused to see me. There was a lot of paranoia in the English Department in the middle 1960s. A lot of these collages looked like conversations between characters. Like they were talking about the weather. Or the price of tomatoes. There is a sense of normalcy in them. And humor. Monty Python captured both these qualities in their collage cartoons.
