Description Based on my short story (which happens to be the VERY FIRST deviation I ever submitted on this site) -->


Anyways, its a silent comic about the fearful yet misunderstood Child Stealer jumping out of the shadows and stealing a sad little kid away. See what I mean when I say he's scarier than Doctor Dandy (in a way)?
But he is really kind and has good intentions, so there's a bit of light for you.

Do you guys know Child Stealers really existed in this sort of fashion back then during the dark ages? I'm being serious. They would lure children away in bright costumes with candy in a sort of hypnotizing manner; some, like mine, sneaked around in black coats with top hats (to keep their identities on the down low) and nabbed them silently out of alleys and lonely places. I don't know if that's where the tale of the Pied Piper came from or the common term for child-napping, but it was just true. Some were even KNOWN throughout villages and they had bounties on their heads but they were too slippery to catch. Some were caught and executed. They were commonly called Child Stealers, Child Catchers, or Child Robbers (Wow. All synonyms. How creative.) Some were even called Dark Lurkers or some crap like that and were accused of black magic; witches, kind of.
Is there an underground cult of Child Stealers out there or something?

omg...thats so creepy and horrible! I do wonder what ever happens to children who get napped, in the "dark ages" I guess the sold them to familys who dident have kids or something?

I love the art though, its so expresive and says so much without words, I just loved the last panel, I was like"omg thats just evil!" you really have a talent for portraying your ideas very deep into peoples thoughs, truly amazing!

That was a non-speaking, strange, feared resident of a depressing town that lives in a giant windmill simply called the Child Stealer (or just "Stealer" for short)

I wouldn't mind being kidnapped by the child stealer to be honest then again, if I didn't know already that he was really nice.. I would be scared out of my mind. But since I do, I would huggle him to death

That story....it just touched me. And the Child Stealer....I just wanted to hug him.
But being randomly grabbed from the shadows...that is creepy.

OldKeys [2010-04-22 22:11:13 +0000 UTC]

...yeah. Still rather be kidnapped by him more than Dandy. The initial terror is worse, but the overall outcome is definitely better~~~ xD

Wreven367 [2010-04-22 22:00:22 +0000 UTC]

Woah! That's kinda scary! But I'd so go for being kidnapped by the Child Stealer if it meant no more depression. (seriously. The Child Stealer and The Kinks could be my anti-depressants)
Also, did you know that the common definition of pedophile is WRONG? (I'm summing up what my dad said. HE'S the one with the college degree!)
Philos is Greek for knowledge or understanding or want for knowledge. For example, philosopher. Its also a suffix in the form of phile. So pedophile is one who knows or wants to know about children, not so much rapist or whatever.
So the Child Stealer is technically a pedophile, but not in the context society has made.

WOW. Seriously? Oh jeez, I never thought I'd say this, but the Stealer is a total and complete pedophile Truly, though, that is very interesting info right there.

Wreven367 In reply to CountANDRA [2010-04-23 01:17:59 +0000 UTC]

Yeah! My genius of a father told me that.
I'm scared to ask him what the real suffix should be.

That's....really, really interesting, actually.

The correct suffix would be... I can't remember. Starts with an a.

Ahaaa... O_o""

So creepy... Alright, he is scarier. But at least he's taking them somewhere better. Not like another certain kidnapper.

The history is interesting... so that's where the term kidnapper came from? O.o

CountANDRA In reply to frisca-freak [2010-04-23 01:02:43 +0000 UTC]

So true ^^ He may be scary, but at least he has good intentions

I have NO CLUE whether or not that's where the term came from, but I think my teacher said something about that. Yeah, today we had a class of FOUR PEOPLE and I showed him this comic and then we started looking online at linking histories that I was like "WHAT?" about
