I Like Anthro Bunnies But-

Image
This is Schnuffel Bunny, a cartoon made to go with a ring-tone in Germany.  This abomination is so cute as to attract my basilisk attention.  He has a girlfriend, Schnuffelellenchen. Obviously, I like anthro rabbits.  But when I use the word "cute" I am talking about kittens or sexual desirability.  These fucking things are a vision of what awaits bad furries in Hell. (Hmmm...great name for a band or comic book.  You read it here first). But by all means judge for yourself.  Enjoy! https://youtu.be/ps9e1vqOKtM Yep, there is such a thing as too many cartoon rabbits.

Cataline

Image
This is such a great picture! Above is the celebrated painting by Ceasare Maccari of Cicero denouncing Senator Lucius Sergius Catalina.  A distinguished military commander, he served under Strabo during the social wars.  He was a supporter of Sulla when that savage man seized power, and supposedly murdered his own brother in law and put his head at Sulla's feet in the temple of Apollo.  Prosecuted for this and acquitted.  Accused of adultery with the Vestal Virgin Fabia, a relative of Cicero's, prosecuted for that and acquitted.  Defeated in his attempt at being elected Consul, he began raising an army.  Cicero accused him of treason and conspiracy yet never presented a shred of evidence, indeed, holding up documents in the senate as proof, documents no one ever read except in book form.  Joseph McCarthy used the same method in denouncing mythical communists and for the same reason, acquisition of power through fear.  Indicted for treason and conspiracy, Cataline join

Tony

Recognize this guy? How about now?  (That's Mingo in the background). The planter is a direct copy of Martin Provensen's original design for Kellog's Tony the Tiger.  There seems to be enough differences to keep the manufacturers out of court but not much.  This is an excellent object and I am going to use him as, well, a planter! http://todaysinspiration.blogspot.com/2009/06/provensens-tony-tiger.html This article credits them both but my info is that this is all Martin's work. 

A Stand In, Kinda

Billy promised to fill in today while his friend, E. Bunny, continues to try and make bail.  But Billy is scatterbrained and easily distracted.  What on earth is he up to now?

Mussolini And Violet

Image
This is a drawing I started for MichaelB303 on Fur Affinity.  He wanted something from the 1920s, oddly enough, but I used the concept I first had for my post entitled "The Monkey Bite".  I was trying to do something other than the Valentine's Day massacre or Floyd Collins.  I overestimated my abilities.  This was going to show Violet Gibson coming within one inch of blowing Mussolini's head off.  He snapped to attention when the national anthem came on, and she shot his nose.  In an act of great magnanimity, he ordered her returned to England where she would die in an asylum.  Her father was Lord Chancellor of Ireland.  She would now be classified as a paranoid schizophrenic, unless I miss my guess. This incident was the basis for the incredible denouement of  "The Day of the Jackal". http://www.irishcentral.com/roots/history/the-irish-woman-who-shot-mussolini-in-the-face The hat I have depicted is what Il Duce was wearing

Thrift Store Report For Saturday April 4th

Image
The artist is Helen Williams.  She does not show up on the net, but this anthro immodest cat was two dollars.  The work is original on Bristol board, and the frame is awesomely well done.   I really like this, and am going hang it where I can see it. I found this outrageously well done bunny and son for fifty cents at Castaways, which is a church charity thrift store and not an exciting dance bar, alas.  This is c. 1950-70, and the modeling is outstanding.  Disney grade anthro. Mischa deals herself in.  I also got an excellent Resistol fancy stitched belt for half a dollar, and a really bitchin' brown leather belt with white leather stitching for two dollars.  Then off to Starbucks, where I walked in and the girl apologized but she was just going to brew some coffee and would I mind waiting?  As this place is notorious for hours old coffee that worked out just fine for me.   Great hunting!

The Monkey Bite

Image
This handsome fellow is a Barbary Macaque.  Quite a set of grinders, no? King Alexander of Greece.  Passionate about motors and automobiles, he was one of the first Greeks to own one.  Snappy hat, too.  One of his dogs, maybe even this one, will be mentioned here in a bit.  For a number of reasons, but primarily because his father, Constantine I, was pro German, the government of  Eleftherios Venizelos, forced the king to abdicate.  He did so, but did not renounce his crown.  The allies did not want a Greek republic, but the next in line was also a little too warm to the Germans, the king's brother gave the job the thumbs down, so young Alexander got the gig.  On his way out the King told Alexander he was only a regent and to keep the seat warm on the throne.  Thanks, Dad,.  This is where I leave Wikipedia and tell the story on my own.  The Venizelos government was committed to the Big Idea, in that all the Greek speaking peoples, no matter where, would become Greek

What A Day

My brother took this great picture of Mischa laying on a couch blanket.  He claims the leopard pattern is a visual echo.   I quit my FA association this morning.  I am just not right for social media.  Well, that's it for groups.  My artwork did not wow anyone anyway.  I am competitive so I found that irritating, although I turned my annoyance on myself, as usual.   I have been stuck in this house going on two years.  I am maid, handy man, cook, gardener and all round servant.  I have no place to go and meet friends.  I have none down here and haven't met anyone.  Now the one social thing I had going I deliberately provoked my exit from it.  I owe a picture to Michael (four numbers I forgot to write down when I disabled my account) and will put that up soon.  I really miss sitting up late and drinking and listening to music with buddies.  At least I had that going for me in that pasture I lived in.  I have a lesson in Corpus tomorrow.  I have improved just a
