So while in Buxton I watched a LOT of the History Show “Swamp People”
I was particularly taken by this specimen:
So much that my Friend Mel drew me in his traditional attire.
Also many may have seen it before, but this is my favorite work by her. We were talking about Watchmen and how the comic was draw so harsh and gritty, so I asked her to draw an idealistic and comical version of the Watchmen
The bookend to this piece was inspired by an Italian fishermen I worked with who was the SPITTING image of Super Mario…well if Super Mario wasn’t drawn in such a comic and idealistic fashion:
BTW you’ll notice in the Swamp People picture I’m accompanied by an Italian Greyhound , there’s a reason for that.
Enjoy!
ZOMG! I was going to ask you if that was an Iggy when I saw the comic! At least it wasn’t a giant locust, but a proper dog! 😛
What’s this “Proper Dog” you speak of? 😉
So what’s the Maine analogue of an alligator?
Swamp Donkey.
They’re big, dangerous (but don’t kill many people, and most of those are auto-strikes) and super desirable to get a hunting permit for.
They’re also the state Animal.
My kids made me take them to meet the Landry’s at gander in Spring over the weekend.
