School wall illustrating characters from Squirrel and Hedgehog, a North Korean children's cartoon.  This is from a country that has no animal life outside of state farms, if that.  North Korea sends out fleets of fishing boats that do not come back, crewed by starving soldiers.  It's people wear processed anthracite and limestone.  It is a country ruled by a psychopath fat runt.  There are no men left in North Korean, only slaves.   https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/northkorea-vinalon/   Implacable. Ever righteous. Wolves, i.e. Americans. Well, I can guess where this is going. Captain Keoteo, wolf leader.   Presumably a repentant wolf who has screwed up.  But the ever-victorious tiny furry is magnanimous if stern!  Does anyone see a hedgehog in any of this? I just saw this.  This is just a stupid wolf guard, episode 31...

Pelicans love handouts.  Bunnies love attention. Well, Billy loves attention, something that is probably all too obvious. Billy has a very high opinion of himself.  The more bunny to watch, the happier people will be. Altruistic, that's Billy.  

  Pelicans take turns knocking each other off of perches.  Billy is worried about fall of Constantinople, and he barely notices.

    Litterbugs Come in Every Size , written by Norah Smaridge and illustrated by Charles Bracke.  Golden Press, 1972 Hi Guys! Today I've got a weird eco-fantasy for you, courtesy of Golden Press!   This was published in 1972 , at the height of the Ecology Movement in the United States .   In those days, littering was right up there with murder and kids had to be taught how evil it was!  Don't get me wrong , littering sucks , but the zeal of some of this early ecology stuff is a little scary !   Anyhow, Litterbugs Come in Every Size was written by Norah Smaridge and illustrated by Charles Bracke .  I've got a certain fondness for Bracke as he did the drawings for Whoa, Joey , one of my favorite books way back when ! Whoa, Joey , written by Daphne Hogstrom and illustrated by Charles Bracke.  Whitman Tell-a-Tale Books, 1968 Litterbugs is written in that singsong rhyming style that has always been really popular for children's books...

 Easily the saddest comic character ever created, the Bunny Mummy is beyond pitiful.  In the one story I have read he begs a magician for a cure, the guy refuses because the bunny is broke.  I have always felt bad for a creature that must be completely desiccated and still alive. Gangrene is part of Vaughn Bode's Deadbone, a mountain inhabited by some very strange creatures.  Bode spelled the bunny's name both ways, Gangrene and Gangreen. Plastic resin kit from Nepenthes Productions, sculpted by Michael Waltz. http://www.bucwheat.com/sl/bode/bode.htm   Can you imagine, that pile of (?) wanted me to give him a free good luck rune!!!    Here is the episode I spoke of.  The little mummy can only say, 'I want, I am, You help'.  At the end he is siting in some glade when a gang of ruffians show up.  This is the best, no, the only reproduction I could find, and I put it in here to show how cold blooded Vaughn Bode could be.  Vaughn ...

 This is a painting I did about 10 years ago. I based the lioness on a drawing from Christopher Hart's How To Draw series of books. I loved the character so much I wanted to draw her in my own style. This was a very large painting so I had a make a scanned collage out of it. Move over, Simba!

 For years Janos Prohaska was Hollywood's go to animal suit man. Take The Money And Run The Cookie Bear, the Andy Williams show. https://youtu.be/jmBVe2gzJy0    The Outer Limits, The Probe, 1965. Star Trek, Devil In The Dark, 1967. An animal lover, fittingly enough.  One of the few times Prohaska did appear on TV and show his face wasn't for any hairy role he'd accepted, but on the game show What's My Line?  In that episode, he arrives as a contestant in a gorilla suit like you'd expect, but removes the suit once it's time to start playing.    Star Trek again, A Private Little War. Some TV show. Outer Limits, The Sixth Finger.  1963 Land Of The Giants, 1968.  Boy, did this show suck.  And - we had to walk to the TV and manually change channels with a dial.  How long must my people suffer? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janos_Prohaska Debbie the Bloop, Lost In Space, 1965. Janos Prohaska, Blackhawk.  Howard Chaykin. Named in...
