Second entry for the BOO!Halloween Stories theme, penned by myself and illustrated by the great Les McClaine.

Les is the amazing illustrator and creator behind Johnny Crossbones, as well as a slew of other work. His site is Evil Space Robot, I highly recommend checking it out.

And there's still a little more than a week left to participate in this month's inaugural Oucopo, so join on in! The theme for November will be announced on Monday ...

theuglyvolvo is probably my favorite writer on LiveJournal (Many thanks to Brodie for pointing her out) and although she's had some amazing articles written in her journal (this one stands out in my memory, as a for instance), today's post is just delightful.

I frequently found myself reading this entry with a gobsmacked smile of delight on my phiz. SOMEone has a good dad!

A forever cure to the doldrums (which are also forevers) is pencil-free character designs! Their legs all get small by the time they become feet.



Go on, name 'em! I expect most of the suggestions to be pretty devoid of imagination and high on deliberate irony. "Bored Electric Guy! Fangy Wifebeater! The Hairy Hooded Master of Hand Farts!" If I'm gonna disappoint everyone else, it's only fair that they get to disappoint me right back.
