 Oh, and urine 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 that I was too young, he should try again when I reached 10 or so.
  That was before recruitment standards loosened up.  



That's all, folks.

The Back Cover   https://youtu.be/OKGCaiZDV28 Andrew the Bee is one of the extremely talented artists and writers I know from DeviantArt.  Andy is as good as any artist there is and it is an delight to be able to put up his work on my site.  We did this before but because the post depended on my knowledge of computer files it may have fallen a tad flat.  Here is the earlier version of this essay about a comics genre that I knew nothing about before reading all this. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/2020/01/jungle-comics-safari.html https://www.deviantart.com/andibi

Two Bad Men, Said Their Murderers

John Choate, 25 August 1818 - 3 August 1869 Crokett Choate, 1842 -3 August 1869 This tells of a grave by the dashing wave A fond friends lip that did quiver Of an eye that's hid by a leaden lid And a voice now stilled forever. John on the left.  They were originally buried where they were killed but October of that year the Refugio Masons moved the bodies to Rockport.  This was all part of the Sutton-Taylor feud, the Suttons were backed by the U. S. Government and of no particular righteousness, they were badge wearing murderers and bullies.  The two story house with the porch running around the second floor in the left background belongs to my sister.  A lovely house and the best behaved neighbors possible! Photos by Steve Davis. The man who killed them.  Sheriff.  Regulator. Murderer. https://books.google.com/books?id=PUvanZiwzdUC&pg=PA64&lpg=PA64&dq=john+and+crockett+choate+death+jack+hel...

The Madonna Of Stalingrad

Image
This superior drawing is known as the "Madonna of Stalingrad".  It was drawn by Lt. Kurt Reuber, a doctor and a protestant pastor.  It measures 3' by 4', and is charcoal on the back of a Soviet map.  It reads, running down the left side, Christmas at the siege, Fortress Stalingrad, Light, Love, Life.  It was flown out by his battalion commander (why was an officer leaving, his place was with his men) on what Wikipedia says is the last flight out but I dispute that.  Could be, though.  Reuber died in a work camp.  He drew another before his death.  The original is on display at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church in Berlin. The Prisoner's Madonna.  Reuber. The Germans starved their POW's to death, by policy.  The Russians then starved their German prisoners to death, by policy.  Of the 91,000 6th Army prisoners, 6000 would return home a decade later. 'The Eastern Front was the armies of two mass murderer...
