Happy Edgar Allan Poe's Birthday to one and all.Last year I threatened to turn Poe's delightfully lighthearted, jolly poem "The Bells" into a picturebook, perhaps a merry board book for the very youngest readers, which I felt sure would guarantee sweet and comforting dreams to the littlest of impressionable kiddies. The offers of sacks of gold in advance haven't flowed in, but I did scribble a bit of something for a webcomics contest. And it did win the fabulous prize of having won a prize (15 minutes of pixellated fame). So, since it's Edgar's birthday again and I am compelled by contractual obligations to celebrate it in some way, herewith a repeat comic.
If you've seen it already, please pretend you haven't. There wasn't enough time to transcribe another Poe(m). For next year I'm thinking a "Murders in the Rue Morgue" graphic novel, acted by a cast of cute anthropomorphic kittens, guaranteed to be a comforting bedtime story. I know I always enjoyed falling asleep to Poe's tales of gruesome dismemberment. Which would explain a lot.
