This cartoon is a Mexican landscape in the middle of the day - hence the reason the tree isn't casting a shadow. The vivid colours are intended to give the impression of the intense heat you can encounter in this part of the world, where bare-naked feet burn on blistering ground. It's part inspired by surrealist painter Joan Miro, who was recently the subject of a career retrospective at the TATE, as well as the various (and seemingly endless) slew of Sunday Matinee Westerns that used to be a staple in our family.
