It looks like they’re having trouble communicating . . . for example, the speaker’s mouth appears to be sewn shut and his question is blurred and indecipherable. Meanwhile the other figure is looking confused and uncertain. Overall, there is a general feeling of caution; reinforced by the use of “ware” in the title (another word for watchful or wary). The figures are carrying radio transmitters, which is a precautionary measure - in case they get lost.
This image conveys a sense of perpetual searching and journeying. Although the figures have arrived at the top of a hill or a mountain they don’t seem to be enjoying the spectacular view, but are focused on finding another destination. Any satisfaction that they obtained by climbing to this summit, has become deferred or projected onto somewhere else, beyond the present time and place. Ironically, the colorless, uniformity of the landscape suggests that the next port of call will not be much different from this one.
Fabulous read on this image. Sounds like you should have a job doing art write-ups (if you don't aleady). The only thing left out was the fact that I created this image to communicate "escape from" rather than "searching for". The figure on the left is establishing with it's partner if it is "Farren Huff?". His partner is responding simply with a "-" or "negative". The crypticness of the word bubbles can be interpreted as either the trouble the two have understanding each other on their flight but more so it is intended as a mask for certain viewers to miss the intention of the artist.
It seems like you could also be a writer. This image is like a page out of a story. Whether the characters are “escaping from ” or “searching for”, it leaves me wanting to know more. I find that your “cryptic” and playful use of text, (not only in the word bubbles but in your titles) serves as an entry point into a labyrinth of meanings. As my (mis)interpretation has shown, when I take the risk and "step into the maze", I learn as much (or more) about my own ideas, intentions and preconceptions as I do about yours.
