The Incape Rock

-
Image
  No stir in the air, no stir in the sea, The Ship was still as she could be; Her sails from heaven received no motion, Her keel was steady in the ocean. Without either sign or sound of their shock, The waves flow’d over the Inchcape Rock; So little they rose, so little they fell, They did not move the Inchcape Bell. The worthy Abbot of Aberbrothok Had placed that bell on the Inchcape Rock; On a buoy in the storm it floated and swung, And over the waves its warning rung. When the Rock was hid by the surge’s swell, The Mariners heard the warning Bell; And then they knew the perilous Rock, And blest the Abbot of Aberbrothok. The Sun in the heaven was shining gay, All things were joyful on that day; The sea-birds scream’d as they wheel’d round, And there was joyaunce in their sound. The buoy of the Inchcape Bell was seen A darker speck on the ocean green; Sir Ralph the Rover walk’d his deck, And fix’d his eye on the darker speck. He felt the cheering power of sp...

October 15 1946 Landsberg Prison.

  A game of basketball is faked to conceal the noise of the gallows being erected for the major Nazis sentenced to death.  Early in the morning, only an hour or so before his hanging, Hermann Goering removes a glass container from a cut-down rifle cartridge, places it in his teeth and bites down.  This in full view of the guard.  No one has any idea where he got the poison from.  Several people have confessed to giving it to him but they have all been proven liars.  An American officer (Lt. Jack Wheelis) has been accused of procuring the poison for Goering with slightly more probability but this is not proven and the case is weak.  ("The Mystery of Herman Goering's Suicide", Ben Swearingen).      Goering, a person of proven bravery and very great leadership ability, was a moral coward who was the one person who could have removed Hitler and ended the war.  He also signed the final solution order given to Reinhardt ...

Bunny Love 2012

-
Image
  I thought drawing comics would be easy. This was going to be about two young rabbits in love, and they are on a picnic. The girl's father is a retired colonel, and does not think much of Billy. I knew a guy that acted just like this stuck up self absorbed rabbit. All he could think about was his girl, when he wasn't on an ego trip. Suddenly, nature makes an appearance! Thunderstruck. Fortunately not everyone is as dumb as Billy. Billy's skin is so tight he cannot blink and he can barely move his fingers. Must be the wine. It seems that someone is more alert. The lovers are attacked by a werewolf.  This is where I gave up on this.  The silver fork was going to play a role here, but Billy has been bitten.  Colonel Bunny will be in charge of tracking down the were, but his identity will be a shock for everyone.  Billy will have to run for it, he will change next full moon.  At this point I wrote myself into a corner.  As I said earlier- In 2012 I...

Silver doesn't hurt us, you know.  Silver is inert and far less dangerous than lead, a poison.  Any metal bullet will kill, just as anything that cuts or smashes kills.  No one grows fur or changes shape or size, the moon has zip to do with the cravings, there are no five point stars on the palms of our hands.  The only thing the legends get right is the need for manflesh.  Naturally, this makes blending into society difficult, to say the least.  Most of us are caught after our first or second feeding, labeled insane or criminal, and in well managed country executed.  As one only needs human blood and meat twice a year the thoughtful were can flourish just fine if they plan carefully. I have to move every 20 years or so and change my identity as I don't age and this causes questions.  I use numbered accounts that only require passwords so money is not a problem.  I used to claim I was my own son but in this day of computers and intern...

Billy And The Young Atlas

-
Image
This was one of my best, to this day, and I over erased it.  Too bad.  This is one of the ones that I would occasionally draw in the midst of a whole lot of bad art. This is me with a neighbor, a young giant who could press 600 lbs and I saw him do it.  He was a monster and very likable.  In this pic Billy is drawn just the way I see him. Again, about every 30 pictures I would do one that is really good.
