TATI’s & TONY’s DEAD POET TOUR // The Dog. by Oliver Herford
The Dog is black or white or brown
And sometimes spotted like a clown.
He loves to make a foolish noise
And Human Company enjoys.
The Human People pat his head
And teach him to pretend he’s dead,
And beg, and fetch and carry too;
Things that no well-bred Cat will do.
At Human jokes, however stale,
He jumps about and wags his tail,
And Human People clap their hands
And think he really understands.
They say “Good Dog” to him. To us
They say “Poor Puss,” and make no fuss.
Why Dogs are “good” and Cats are “poor”
I fail to understand, I’m sure.
To Someone very Good and Just,
Who has proved worthy of her trust,
A Cat will sometimes condescend—
The Dog is Everybody’s friend.

My webcomic Crumble Cult has been updated and relaunched. I’d love if you read the hell out of it and perhaps even told me what you think. It feels good to have it up and eyes on it again!

TATI’s & TONY’s DEAD POET TOUR // Ode To Man. by Thomas Frederick Young
A man is not what oft he seems,
On this terrestrial sphere,
No pow’r to wield, no honor’d place,
Oft curb his spirit here.
He knows not what within him lies,
Until his pow’rs be tried,
And when for them some use is found,
They spring from where they hide,
To startle and to puzzle him,
Who never knew their force,
Because his unfreed spirit kept
A low and shackl’d course.
Dishearten’d and despairing, he
Had often sigh’d alone,
Not thinking that in other ways
His spirit might have grown.
Not thinking that another course,
Which needed pluck and vim,
Might raise his drowning spirit high,
And teach it how to swim;
To battle with the rolling tide,
That hurries onward men,
And raise his head above the waves,
That come and go again.

I’m nearly done updating the original ‘Crumble Cult’ webcomic, and it’ll be back online soon. So, look out for that.
It’s shocking how personal I got with this project, as it touches on matters such as clinical depression, religious deconstruction and suicidal ideation—you know, the fun stuff we all like to not talk about. 🙄
And yet, somehow, I managed to infuse it all with some whimsy and magical realism too. So, I feel somewhat… well, proud of that?! Damn, that feels weird to say.
This webcomic took me three years to produce, and it was never completed. I hope to one day but for now the graphic novel must come first. More thoughts later.
