Rage… never good.

I’m so out of it, the first draft of this had a GIGANTIC head! I mean, twice the size of the current one!
I’ve never been one to worry about anatomy unless it’s necessary for the picture, but this one was WAY out of whack! *grin*

Take a deep breath, Mike! Relax the fists … At least enough to go to YouTube and look for HEADCASES … in particular Bob Mugabe’s Farm. There’s the boy, talking in a Somerset accent and planting Ferrero Rocher chocolates instead of vegetables because … well, he likes choccies better than greens.
The use of art to illustrate social and political troubles goes way back. You know that. So … draw on!
Have some fun too, of course! What’s your take on the “RBYC Towers” development? Should it look like that hotel in (Dubai?) shaped like a giant sail? And would it be found at the Foot of the Lane after a “good blow” as my mother used to call hurricanes?
Before your time, before mine, but did you ever read Nicholas Monserrat’s “The Tribe that Lost Its Head”? For a book that is grim, but eye-opening, look for “King Leopold’s Ghost” (subtitled “A Story of Greed, Terror and Heroism in Colonial Africa”) by Adam Hochschild.
I had an “Oh! Fuckin’ ‘ell … I don’t believe it!” rant that was half Devil Island and half Graham Norton in the newsagents last week. The Daily Express headlines had got a village crowd talking. Police here to stop using sniffer dogs as dogs are “offensive to Muslims”. We’ve already removed “The Three Little Pigs” from school libraries.
The funniest thing I heard last week was a description of our Prime Minister, Gordon Brown. “He looks like someone drew an unhappy face on a scrotum.” (Earlier someone had remarked that the PM looked like he was “shitting a sea urchin”.)
There are some pitchas for ya!
July 2nd, 2008 at 3:03 amheehee… thanks for that.
I’m calming down. It looks like Morgan and his handlers are dealing with the problem as best they can, which is helping my mood.
And Gordon Brown DOES look a little like a scrotum!
