Description From Happy Freak Show #5
Here's something I'm particularly proud of. A long time ago, I decided I'd do humorous adaptations of three classic poems, a la early Mad. This was one; the other two were "Casey At the Bat" (which starts here: [link] ) and "The Night Before Christmas," which I will scan and post in the future.

You know what this will make it better? If Vincent Price narrates this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuGZ_w…

After all, isn't that why he's famous in Poe's work?

Yet I love reciting that poem like how Vincent does. I nfact, my brother thinks I could sound like him. Since his sounds low and raspy.

I did have it in my gallery for a while. Then I moved it to Scraps with my other comics. At least I thought enough of it to have it in the Main Gallery first!

The Raven Haiku:
My poor girlfriend's dead...
SHUT UP, STUPID TALKING BIRD!!!
Great- now I'M dead too....

(This joke is referenced from a site I found giving funny single-paragraph synopsyses of verious famouse literary works.)

That's funny! Have you read the book "ShrinkLits"? It has funny poems that summarize famous literary works. Here's the poem for "The Raven":

Raven lurches
In, perches
Over door.
Poet's bleary
Query --
"Where's Lenore?"
Creepy bird
Knows one word:
"Nevermore."

Thanks for the s, BTW!
