Animal Antics #6, January 1947.  Detective Comics.     Oh, and urine or lemon juice works just fine for secret writing.  In 1951, the company's top-of-the-line "Chemcraft Master Laboratory" set retailed for $27.50 (equivalent to $287 in 2021) and contained, among other things, radioactive uranium ore.  I had one of these c. 1966, unfortunately my pet rabbit Billy set fire to a sink and blew a large hole through the garage wall after mixing powdered sugar and aluminum dust with ammonium nitrate next to a lit alcohol lamp.  Billy vanished before dad showed up and I believe that everyone thinks I lied about that, I lied all the time but that particular explosion and subsequent house fire was my bunny's fault, it really was.  I got spanked and sent to bed without dinner and somewhere we still have a letter from the Marine Corps stating it was very patriotic of my dad to volunteer my services for defusing mines around Đồng Nai Province but...

 1946 ad.  This is as porn as furry got back then.   Who will buy my wares? 100%  round wire.       “ Everybody wants to get into the act! ”    What elephant?

   Everyone else draws Billy better than I do, and Mateograph is a very great artist on top of it all. https://www.deviantart.com/mateograph    See what I mean?    

I've about had it with this goddamn rabbit.        

During my brief time on Facebook, a guy asked me to draw him a rabbit, silver and gold, two earrings, and with a bow killing bandits.  Uh, OK, and I delivered.  Then he did not even favorite the drawing.  I never spoke to him again and quit that site right after that.  This is the picture. And ignore the ridiculous tail.  I fell in love with the sweep of the lines, now I know why Batman wears a cape.  It's not for him, but the artists. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RiusHIsSL._AC_SY741_.jpg   See what I mean?  David Finch, artist.  

 The thing about this fucking rabbit Introspection is his habit. It would almost be real funny, But this is a wilful, sulky bunny. Best that we just leave him pout, Go on our way and include him out.

     Three kittens, denied milk as punishment for losing their mittens after playing out in the snow, sail up into the Milky Way in a basket lifted by three balloons.  Once in the Milky Way, they find it a land of natural milk springs and gushers. The kittens proceed to happily gorge themselves on milk, until they get into trouble and risk falling back down to Earth. However, it is then revealed that the whole event was just a dream. Their mother then comes in to their bedroom to invite them down for supper. The kittens rush excitedly into the kitchen, only to be sickened to see that their supper is milk.  https://youtu.be/gHg9BTS6m1k   This won the Academy Award for 1940, the first non Disney cartoon to do so.  MGM. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/2018/03/garth-williams-mortal-believe-it-or-not.html    I said M - G - M.     Oh, and speaking of Warner Brothers, the voice of the mother cat in The Milky Way i...

The online Oxford Dictionary defines the term “Nero fiddles while Rome burns” as “being concerned with relatively trivial matters while ignoring the serious or disastrous events going on around them.” https://youtu.be/ckV2ogbt8W4 I used to think this song was amusing.  Fuck!  AD 2015.  Austin in August so the burning city analogy fits perfect.

 Well, this was long looong time ago... way back in the ancient Egypt, I was worshiped as a god. They called me... ABUNNIS ( The bunny headed God ). In my temple many priestesses performed the Egg Ritual as many as three times a day! You haven't hear about me? ...Well, I was fired from the God business,  for " ungodlike behavior ". This means, that I taught my followers how to reach the Heavens BEFORE death.  * SIGH * Those times ended. I found other jobs, and changed as the world and pantheons changed around me. After a time I came to realize how fun entertaining the children could be, I love to do this. Seems I have become a  more family-friendly person. But ... if you wanna try the old ceremony, I'm in! --- Happy Easter everyone!  https://www.deviantart.com/12-tf   https://www.furaffinity.net/user/12-tf/
