Today’s Zippy, another exercise in cartoonization, a transformation of an image (in this case, Magritte’s Le therapeute) by stages into a Zippy scene:
(#1)
The Magritte original:
(#2)
The story so far: On 3/5/15 I posted a Zippy transformation of a Magritte (The Son of Man) and the next day on another cartoonization, saying:
Zippy has been featuring cartoonizations: transformations in three panels into a cartoon character. Yesterday Magritte’s man with apple ended up as Zippy with bowling ball. Today, a man painting a bird in flight ends up as Zippy painting Tweety Bird (a bird in the hand, as the title has it)
It turns out that that was not just a man, inspired by contemplating an egg, painting a bird in flight, but another Magritte, La clairvoyance:

Bill Griffith has been on a Magritte run of cartoonization. In addition to the three mentioned above:

(#4)
The Zippy of 3/4, and its original, The Lovers:
(#5)
(#6)
The Zippy of 3/7, and its original, L’acte de foi (literally, ‘Act of Faith’, better ‘Leap of Faith’):
(#7)
(#8)
And the Zippy of 3/9, and its original, Attempting the Impossible:
(#9)
(#10)
That leaves one Zippy unaccounted for, the first in the series, from 3/2:
(#9)
Suggestions as to the source?

That first panel is pretty clearly Julia Child, but a quick search didn’t show me a matching image.

I don’t see it as so clearly Julia Child, but if it is, it’s certainly out of the Magritte series.
