Absurdes, ironiques ou amers, ces gribouillages sont des cris du coeur: "Je crie/J'ecris/#595 378 8222 bis de l'anonyme contrainte." On y trouve une haine de la societe urbanisee et dehumanisee, qui rappelle non seulement le ruralisme de Mao, mais celui de Rousseau, de Fourier, et de Proudhon: "L'economie est blesse, qu'elle creve." "Dessous les paves c'est la plage ..."
