11/2 Today Goofus the Peacock killed a mouse and instead of eating it right away, decided to wander around the pasture carrying it in his beak. The feral cats always appreciate dead-rodent-based performance art, so they followed behind Goofus single file to make a Very Exciting Dead Rodent Parade.
At one point Goofus stopped and put down his rodent and one of the feral cats dared to sniff at it, and Goofus unleashed The Most Terrifying Honk, something along the lines of I WILL END YOU AND EVERYONE YOU LOVE AND YOUR BONES WILL BE FORGOTTEN ON THE FROZEN EARTH WHEN I SNUFF OUT THE SUN AND SING THE STARS TO DARKNESS I AM THE DEVOURER AND DESTROYER OF ALL THINGS
The feral cats, previously unaware that the Death Of The Universe And End Of All Things is currently living as a peacock, ran off at about fifty miles an hour and hid under the barn for the rest of the day. They didn’t even come out at milking time to beg for goat milk, which is a first.
We probably should not have named the Death Of The Universe And The End Of All Things “Goofus,” actually.
Back with one of my favourite scenes from the Discworld series. Ink and digital colours.
Nightmare fuel, tearjerker, and hilarious all in one scene, Vimes and the dark, in the dark.
this was one of the most amazing climaxes in all of literature. as exciting as the final whale encounter in moby dick. as dramatic as the duel in hamlet. as emotionally cathartic as the destruction of dorian gray’s portrait. as heartwarming as elizabeth accepting darcy. it gave me all the emotions at once and it made my head spin.
