You might enjoy his presentation of this gag with Sarah Cox - who only
elates "i know why I drew that!" just after she had seen the pictures.

If his gag with the advertisers works in the way he describes it, it would
certainly seem a valid theory for his "think of a picture" gag. A
demonstration of subliminal persuasion. This could be repeated quite
reaonably in his stage show by posting the drawing somewhere in the
lobby? He still has to force the recollection live on stage. A dog is
certainly "like a matchstick man or a house."
