Godzilla Eats the Bronx.
No Loss.
I may do a small picture book for adults. This fad is all the rage with the Arts crowd. Or at least it was till the Pandemic put the kibosh on everything on Earth. Still I like the idea. ...of a weird book not this plague.
Mine would be called "WTF?!"
As in "How the fuck did all this fucked up shit happen to us?"
In particular our current government, and the Pandemic. I'd do sweaty collages, and deranged ink sketches depicting same. Basically all the horrors the 21st century crapping all over us yet we're still expected to pay taxes give a bleep, and smile.
Then perhaps a second installment called, "Wait there's More!"
This showing the end of the world as we'd like to know it. An Apocalypse the way it's supposed to be. One with Godzilla the Wolfman the Joker King Kong, and Walt Disney's frozen head. All in particularly bad moods laying waste the Earth. Devouring the just, and unjust alike as Revelations said.
I mean I had to have a plumber come.
This in the middle of the end of the world. I never saw a scene like that in any of the monster flicks.
"Ohhhh!!! Godzilla is eating the Bronx!!
To which I sez, "...Eh,...yeah tuff. Look I have to call the pumber. My bathroom just imploded again",...and it did.
Life is never like the movies. Not even when the world is really ending.
Btw William my regular Plumber came as a personal favor. He fixed everything. Profound social distancing was observed if ya wondered. I stayed in my bedroom till he was finish. He had a kind of hazmat working suit. Sort of like the Army uses. My gawd I was grateful. I can shower again use my tub, and sink....most of all Flush!"
These folks the ones that keep everything working are the Heroes of all this. Which is why we shouldn't even think about going back to what it was like. Taking them for granted, and generally insulting, and fucking them over.
I dunno what's coming, but it has to be better than what was.

I'm glad you got your water back. Working plumbing is among the foundational technologies of a tolerable civilization. I don't blame your plumber for dressing hazmat; the virus can be spread through plumbing.
ReplyDeleteOh year - doing picture books sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteYou know it!
ReplyDeleteLife without plumbing is savage, and not worth the trouble.
yeah he was seriously cool to help me out. he said Zi was the only job he's done in several week besides family.
We always got along.
When the shit hit the blender you find who's real, and who ain't. Like I found when I was Houseless.
Some literally looked the other way if the saw me...other's took me in, and comforted me while they could. wars, and plagues shows ya who's who.
As for books I keep thinking about it. I still have the skills.
Just over the years not the will.
Mostly there's the practical matter of there being nowhere to put them...there are no longer small independent book stores.
We'll see.
I may make some for friend. Like I did for my first Queer things.
