Detail, The First Five Years, acrylic on wood, ca. early 1970s. The second of six horizontal tiers depicting incidents during the artist's childhood. Exactly what these figures represent—good question.

It's a representation of a trip to Disneyland, obviously. There's the angel of death in there telling him about the forthcoming trip, so a young Flora runs down the stairs into the arms of his waiting mom. He imagines Cinderella's castle, which is inhabited by Walt Disney himself! They take a biplane out to Anaheim where they see Mickey and his friends! I'm surprised you didn't figure all that out, you're usually pretty sharp about these artsy-fartsy things.
