Mister Scribbles

  Billy had an awful upbringing.  Sometimes he felt that nobody understood him.  He was fed up with all those rules!

 Waldo, the dissolute silent screen cartoon cat.  Kim Deitch. Kim grew up with a famous animator father, Gene Deitch.  I think it really shows. From All Waldo Comics, Fantagraphic Books.  1992 And for your reading pleasure, here is the link to this anthro masterpiece, complete and unabridged! https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/The-Boulevard-of-Broken-Dreams/TPB-Part-1?id=160904    Oh, yeah.  Waldo is the reincarnation of Judas Iscariot.  

‘Twas like a Maelstrom, with a notch, That nearer, every Day, Kept narrowing its boiling Wheel Until the Agony Toyed coolly with the final inch Of your delirious Hem — And you dropt, lost, When something broke — And let you from a Dream — As if a Goblin with a Gauge — Kept measuring the Hours — Until you felt your Second Weigh, helpless, in his Paws — And not a Sinew — stirred — could help, And sense was setting numb — When God — remembered — and the Fiend Let go, then, Overcome — As if your Sentence stood — pronounced — And you were frozen led From Dungeon’s luxury of Doubt To Gibbets, and the Dead — And when the Film had stitched your eyes A Creature gasped “Reprieve”! Which Anguish was the utterest — then — To perish, or to live? Emily Dickinson , 1862 Sometimes Billy has trouble sleeping.  

The Anthro artist army marches on! https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/childrens-authors/article/71281-q-a-with-dav-pilkey.html   Way to go, Dave!  Dreams sometimes do come true. My brother found this on Bobby London's Instagram page.  If you don't know Bobby London, he is one of the great anthro cartoonists and made my teen years a little more bearable.   Mr. London was one of the Air Pirates. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Pirates   Bobby also took over Thimble Theater in 1986, but there were differences 'twixt him and the owners-   In June 1992, London began a continuity in which Olive Oyl receives a Baby Bluto doll, and decides to get rid of it.  Passerbys think that she intends to get an abortion. Worried over even the implication of the a-word, the syndicate fired London and refused to run the continuity.  They've been running repeats of Sagendorf strips ever since. Bobby and my brother argue frequent...

Billy Bunny and Paulie Panda are on Padre Island for a camping trip.  Billy digs a firepit while Paulie watches his rabbit friend.  Sometimes the bunny becomes uncommunicative and the big bear knows that he is thinking about the war.  There is nothing he can do or say so he lets Billy do the work by himself, he will cheer up after they get camp situated and have a few beers.  The humans on the island ignore them, signs have been posted warning of the two modified friends, the cultural fear of such beings keep everyone a long way off.  A few will complain to the authorities who are already planning tighter restrictions on the only two Enhanced Footsoldier survivors.  Both the rabbit and the bear know full well that this is probably their last outing, already politicians and talk show hosts are demanding the incarceration of both of them.  The public is unaware that all the other anthros are dead, killed by the high command in an attempt to...

 Trial By Combat, 1952 OK, that's enough.  More would indicate approval.  This is from the over the top artist George Quaitance.  The Korean war was in it's second year when this was printed by somebody, somewhere.  But read for yourself- https://www.messynessychic.com/2018/06/06/the-groundbreaking-kitsch-cowboy-art-of-george-quaintance/ I mean, Jesus!  Is this gay or what? 

 Billy is upset that I would not let him go to church with me on Easter, I insisted that he wear clothing and absolutely no jewelry. Sometimes I think having a pet rabbit is no kinda fun at all.

Time, and luck, are running out. SDavis

The Easter Bunny has had a very long day. And then there is the Anti-Easter Bunny, foretold in Revelations.
