Spring has sprung....

Hello...

Yes, I know, it's been a while since my last update. I have an excuse - it's spring, and that means getting the backyard ready for human habitation, which leaves little time for anything else. One chore that I've been avoiding is getting the pool water to a point where it won't overload a swimmer's immune system. 


So inviting!

Pictures don't do it justice. It actually has its own ecosystem populated by nightmare creatures such as this giant water breathing spider.

Holy shit!

But fear not, sometime in the next few days I will battle the plague of mosquitoes that is breeding on the surface of the stagnant pool water and hook up the filter system. It'll take a boat load of chemicals but eventually the water will be clear and sparkling and giant spider free! 

Anyway, like most disgusting, pestilent things in my life the state of my pool has inspired a cartoon, one which features my favorite monster from the old Universal horror films, the Creature from the Black Lagoon!


And because it's been so long between posts, here are two more cartoons featuring the creature.




The last cartoon even features a nod to the Gill Man's first love, the gorgeous Julia Adams. Say what you want about the creature, but he sure had great taste in women!

He was a player.

Well, that does it for now. I'll try and post more frequently in the future. 

Later, people!
