The Art of FBFO: part 9
Every month, the For Bond Fans Only Facebook group asks members to vote for a Bond-related topic/theme to celebrate and discuss in depth. For instance, FBFO may spotlight one of the actors, a specific film in the series, a character, a novel/short story, etc.
Anything is up for suggestion, by any member... but there's a twist. You see, FBFO has an affectionate streak of sardonic humour running throughout it, very much like Bond himself, so there is only one caveat: all suggestions have to be pun-tastic! This is demonstrated by the gems (and groaners) below.
Since February 2020, FBFO's very own Chris Smith has produced the artwork banner images for these monthly, pun-embracing, celebrations. Collated below are his designs for the first 3/4 of 2023. Enjoy.
January 2023: "Tanuary"
Theme: those Bond locations to work your tan.

March 2023: "M-Arch Nemesis"

April 2023: "Licence to April"
Theme: the darkest Bond film in sunny spring: LTK (spot the error).
May 2023: "Die Another May"
