Pay him and he'll ferry you across the Styx. Don't and he won't.
Either way you're damned.

H. Dumpty
No good egg, the real Dumpty was a worthless legislator who straddled every issue. Eventually his indecision became legendary and he was removed from office by parliamentary decree. The King's cronies failed in re-appointing him and I have no idea how the horses got into the act.

rare ring nut
It is a little known fact - very little known - that the first rings were bones. (It was a far cry better than the old method of claiming a woman as chattel by tying her with vines to rocks.) But as hunter-gatherers went agrarian, a more common material for fashioning bondage bands were nutshells. Only rarely and for little purpose were rings made from the kernels of said nuts, nut kernels being transitory in nature due to the sharp teeth of rats and squirrels.This is one of those rare ring nuts. It was unearthed in rodent-free peat along with about a dozen kernel rings in various stages of manufacture. Only this one was found in its pristine and virgin condition, pre-bore.

mudman
"...and there I beheld a tiny mudman, a mass of vari-hued earths in the shape of a palsied and malnourished child. He stood stock still, watching me, showing not a trace of fear. He was sizing me up."- from the final journal of Reverend Archibald Hotchkiss

Theo III
This is Theo III, a Sneaking Imposter.I sent Len Cowgill 29 faces, thinking he would be mounting them in a smaller tray with fewer compartments and could choose the ones that best suited him. Instead, he used them all and went with a tray with 30 compartments. That left him one short, so he drew another head and named it after me.
