Tea with Stepmother

Weapon and Thing of Natural Beauty : The Poison Dart Frog. Family : Dentrobatidae. Found in South and Central America. Some tribes of the Indigenous people use the frogs toxic secretions as a poison for the tips of their blow darts.

The Weather

Weapon : Ankle knife

Thing of Natural Beauty : Canada and Clouds

No Time Machines were harmed in the trip back to The Eighties in order to retrieve The Weather Girls hideous hair style.

Fish!

Weapon : A homemade child's slingshot

Thing of Natural Beauty : A dead Goldfish (Carassius auratus auratus)

The Goldfish, you'll be relieved, is not actually dead. We used the cunning technique of drawing a live one and adding a traditional special effect in order to masterfully create the illusion ... We put a cross on it's eye. The magic comes alive!

THERAPY

Weapon : A Trident

Thing of Natural Beauty : The Mermaids' tail is made of Herring (Genus : Clupea). The object on top of the Trident is the egg case of a Skate (Family : Rajidae). It is also known as a Mermaids' purse. A Skate is a Cartilaginous fish related to the Shark, the Ray and the Chimera.

Special thanks to Mahatma Gandhi for stepping in at the last moment to portray the Therapist.

PESTS !

Written by Josephine Konig and based on her original idea. Drawn by Joseph Konig. Technical crap endured by the ever patient Josephine.

Weapon : Glock 17 9mm handgun.

Thing of Natural Beauty : The Scandinavian Elk or European Moose. Alces alces. Male.

We cheated creating this image. The drawing is completely traced from a photo we took. Acquiring the Model, the handgun and breaking two Moose from the Zoo was surprisingly easy. It's all about who you know. Getting the Moose to pose for the picture was a nightmare and the clean up was hardcore. Our neighbors will never let us forget this ... or they'll never speak to us again ... which is the more preferable of the two scenarios.
