Mac Smith has written and drawn an unforgettable post apocalypse epic. The essence of terror.  Better than even Disney can do. A new world.  Remember, "new" does not mean "good". Point of view really makes a difference, don't it? A moose and a mouse.  The world is huge to me, how so much bigger to a mouse? I really don't wish to say anything else about this.  Wix the mouse is on a journey to save his girlfriend and his colony.  He is opposed by, well, the entire world.     This ain't The Rescuers, no sir. https://www.scurrycomic.com/  Read this and know what storytelling is all about. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/

Commonplace But Still Sad

   This was my first week working for Wings Rescue Center in Rockport Texas.  Since I know almost nothing about wild birds I have little to say, but today something happened worth mentioning.  I went on a call concerning a sick brown pelican at Cove Harbor, where my dad had a boat once.  When we got there we spotted the big bird sitting by himself up against a concrete breakwater, my job was to turn on the water at the fish cleaning stand to attract the other pelicans so we could get this one alone.  I turned on the water, my boss netted the pelican and handed him across a fence to me.  I held his beak and wings and placed him inside a carrier in her jeep.  I was expecting more of a fight.  We got him back to the center, he had a throat fungus and was covered in mites.  He weighed 2.8 kilograms, a little light but not severe.  He was barely moving, and we put him in a cage.  While the forms were being filled out th...

Button, Button

  The package was lying by the front door-a cube-shaped carton sealed with tape, their name and address printed by hand: "Mr. and Mrs. Aurthur Lewis, 21 7 E. Thirty-seventh Street, New York, New York 10016." Norma picked it up, unlocked the door, and went into the apartment. It was just getting dark. After she put the lamb chops in the broiler, she sat down to open the package. Inside the carton was a push-button unit fastened to a small wooden box. A glass dome covered the button. Norma tried to lift it off, but it was locked in place. She turned the unit over and saw a folded piece of paper Scotch-taped to the bottom of the box. She pulled it off: "Mr. Steward will call on you at 8:00P.M." Norma put the button unit beside her on the couch. She reread the typed note, smiling. A few moments later, she went back into the kitchen to make the salad. The doorbell rang at eight o'clock. ''I'll get it," Nor...

It's The Truth, It's Actch'll!

      'Whats a matter with you - are you hard of hearing? I said 'Howdy'!       In 1949 Song of the South was released by Disney, it won Academy Awards for the song Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah and for actor James Baskett, the first black man to get the award. The movie gave voice work to many black actors and is a masterpiece of regionalism as well as a showcase for the fantastic stories and animation which brought Joel Chandler Harris' collection of folk tales to life. Walt Disney lobbied for Baskett to get the Oscar, and the artwork in it was designed by Bill Peet, one of the studio greats. The boy Johnny was played by the tragic Bobby Driscoll, who also had an Oscar.  https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/2016/11/bobby-driscoll.html        One of the lies told about Walt Disney is that he was a racist. Today, as Disney descends into madness and continues to alienate the very people who paid to see it's movie...
