2 X Bogatyrkhan

 Two Japanese footsoldier cats.  Note the matchlock, accurate in every detail. The curse of catnip. https://www.deviantart.com/bogatyrkhan Another superior post by a master artist.  I'd say that bogatykhan has captured the very essence of the Shogunate enlisted men.

The Man Who Sold Rope To The Gnoles

Image
  Illustration by Sidney Sime, “How Nuth Would Have Practised His Art Upon The Gnoles.”  The Book of Wonder, 1912. Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron of Dunsany     The Man Who Sold Rope To The Gnolls  The gnoles have a bad reputation, and Mortensen was quite aware of this. But he reasoned, correctly enough, that cordage must be something for which the gnoles had a long unsatisfied want, and he saw no reason why he should not be the one to sell to them. What a triumph such a sale would be! The district sales manager might single out Mortensen for special mention at the annual sales-force dinner. It would help his sales quota enormously. And, after all, it was none of his business what the gnoles used cordage for.  Mortensen decided to call on the gnoles on Thursday morning.

Red Rabbit 1

Image
022   In which Red Rabbit learns who his friends are, and the value of loyalty.  But the old Jeeps are pretty durn cool! Harvey Eisenberg, pencils.   From the 'where are they now?' files, Foxy Fagan.  I included this to point out the offensive stereotypes occupy top dead center and 6 o'clock, and it's full of laughs for young and old.  Young and old what not mentioned but presumably white Republican men, those perpetrators of racial insensitivity and cultural iron maidens. Have a great Sunday, everybody! From Red Rabbit #1, January 1947.

I Would Have Kicked The Trap Myself

 2 days before my birthday, 1981.   PCP and handguns don't mix. Dead at 24. Murder most foul. Yeah, right.   What friends? That's right...20 years. Philip was the guy assigned to teach me the silent drill when I was dragooned unto the team.  He did a good job, a few weeks later one of the guys left and I took his place and was on the Marching 24.  He had a lot of mental issues, none of which I am qualified to talk about, but he was a thief and he stole my room key and bragged about it.  Losing a room key was one of the ways the Corps got back at privates for losing the Vietnam War, you had to go through all kinds of bullshit to get another.  Mine disappeared from on top of my clothing as I was taking a shower.  As soon as I found out about this, I broke open his wall locker and it was loaded with cameras and other swag he had stolen from his fellow Marines.  With the help of my other roommate, when Philip walked in my buddy slammed and locked...
