Right Before The Tragedy

 Here Colonel Bunny of the Royal Guard welcomes Queen Catalina to the Duchy of Haut-Stauffenberg.  Within minutes, she will be shot by an anarchist, plunging the entire world into war.  The disgraced colonel will end his days as a private in the Furry Legion.
 
********************************************** 

Felinia demanded that Haut-Stauffenberg deliver the entire duchy into their control. Naturally, this was refused. The Moggy Empire backed up Felinia and encouraged the military acquisition of the duchy. The Quadruple Alliance kicked in and lined up with all their resources to prevent the invasion, triggering a declaration of war from the Primary Powers. The railway dependent troop deployment ensured that the conflict would hit the world like an avalanche. I'm sure you know the rest of it. Millions dead, nations bankrupted, legions of maimed veterans and impoverished civilians lusting for payback. This gave rise to

The Black Rabbit Of Inle

This is a model of the Black Rabbit of Inle by Rachel Young.     The Black Rabbit of Inle is the Lapin god of the underworld.  Here he takes a rabbit home.  The Black Rabbit is the creation of Richard Adams, Watership Down.   http://www.planetsculpture.com/Rachel-Young.html     When the snare is set in the gap, the Black Rabbit knows where the peg is driven; and when the weasel dances, the Black Rabbit is not far off. You all know how some rabbits seem just to throw their lives away between two jokes and a theft: but the truth is that their foolishness comes from the Black Rabbit, for it is by his will that they do not smell the dog or see the gun…But the truth is — or so they taught me — that he, too, serves Lord Frith and does no more than his appointed task — to bring about what must be. We come into the world and we have to go: but we do not go merely to serve the turn of one enemy or another. If that were so, we would all be dest...

Pigs with Problems

Hi Guys! Did you ever wonder what goes through a pig's head when he knows that his destiny is to be made into lard ?  Well, it turns out that most pigs are up for that , at least according to N. K. Fairbank and Company ! Back in the 1880s and 1890s , Fairbank was one of the biggest producers of lard around!  You're probably thinking "lard, who in heck wants that ??"  Well, before they invented vegetable oil , you needed lard to cook with !  If you were going to fry anything, you had to have lard, or put in layman's terms, pig fat ! Well, pig fat and killing animals are pretty gross , no doubt!  And if anybody hated gross things , it was the Victorians !  So how do you sell the idea of pig fat?  You make a joke out of it , that's how!  You create a whole advertising campaign out of these anthro pigs whose only desire in life is to die !  So they can be made into grease for cooking! To make it even funnier , you ...

Crusader Rabbit

Crusader Rabbit, first aired August 1st, 1950. Crusader is the world's first cartoon series made for television.  Alex Anderson, nephew of Paul Terry, came up with the idea.  Jay Ward is part of this, huge surprise there.  It was filmed on a very low budget and has little animation, mostly still shots and camera pans making up the bulk of the cartoon.  Here Crusader is about to demonstrate his lack of superpowers. https://youtu.be/C3hHQvkUhJo Ragland T. Tiger, Crusader's partner and best friend.  The 'T' stands for 'the'.  When asked about it, Rags would tell people his middle name was Larry but his dad couldn't spell!  Rags is none too bright and is the beginning of a long tradition of dopey cartoon sidekicks. This is a cast photo, I cannot find out who is who in this.  But never mind that, what is this picture behind the bar? I would not be astonished if this was by Martin Prov...
