great stuff! i love it when someone takes the efort to make a little scene... like whomever did this... going to different levels of the structure and painting on both walls and ceiling... so whimsical and cool.
JJ: Awesome! I've never noticed these before.

well, it is now not viewed as anything like a swear word, and has an old fashioned feel to it, kids in comics might say it, but i don't know that any real children would, nowadays. it is also, i belive, particularly a 'cockney' expletive. it roughly means 'wow'. when i was little i was told off for saying it, and given the explanation it meant 'god blind me' which seems a pretty likely etymology to me.
here is what google define:"cor blimey" has to say www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=define+%22cor+blimey%22&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
jeeff: i think american 'gosh' or 'golly' is similar.
Lawrence: cor blimey, wicked stuff.

it's funny. reading this, i seem to remember as a child being told something similar (about going blind) upon saying "cor blimey!". maybe a grandparent, i dunno.
