It is getting close to Halloween!  Perhaps, perhaps, I am in a festive mood.

Well look at that, guess whose store is finally updated

It is another comic about a ghost! But not a person-ghost. There is some collar grabbin', I feel like LBJ shaking Pearson on the balcony.  

Oh just in case you were wondering about the omens:

Kite flyin' Ben Franklin didn't get a shirt, so I made him a comic.

Now, it is true that sometimes bunglers are elected into government, just as this 100% accurate depiction suggests in 100% truthful recollection of events. But America, I was in Chicago on Tuesday to see the coronation of your new prince, and what a hopeful thing that was! Not that I could see anything in the crowd because of my gnome like height, but when I lifted my camera I could get a shot of the jumbotron.

You know all of our countries are guilty of it, but damn you English have a habit of making heroes out of criminals. Dashing rogues my foot!

How do you like that- continuity!

I saw the movie Passchendaele the other day.   It is a landmark in Canadian cinema, and that means a lot of things.  I wrote my thoughts on it, if you are interested in Canadian history-   http://beatonna.livejournal.com/73439.html

I ain’t gonna lie, the mermaids are fun times when you want to make a silly comic

The other day I was on the subway and I saw a guy reading a newspaper. From a distance, I could make out the unmistakable hairdos of Sir John A MacDonald and Sir Wilfred Laurier glamming it up on a big full page spread. "What trouble are those two rascals causing," I said to myself, "I know our current PM is boring but these guys are dead and can't do much about that now. "

Though really that is the only thing that could stop those two in particular from trying.

Later I spent $1.50 to find out. I hope they appreciated it. As it turns out, the Dominion Institute is putting on a thing called MacDonald-Laurier Days to honor our big nation-builders. Not a whole lot of hullabaloo, but worth a look. ( http://www.macdonald-laurier.ca/en/home )The Dominion Institute is an interesting group and they published a book called 'Great Canadian Questions' which is in my room but you can also find the whole text online. We already know that Canadians are experts at remembering past leaders though, man anyone can tell you John A. was a drunk and you can deface Wilfred Laurier on money to make him look like Mr. Spock.   A+ history class, yes yes yes.

So guess what movie we just watched

oh jeez 10 minutes to go till the 25th, better stick another holiday comic in while I can

phew!

Remember when you drew princesses with big cone hats?  Them were the days.
