The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
In the old days in Finland, all young men had to go through some rites of passage to show that they were REAL FINNISH MEN. The usual set consisted of three tests: 1) Empty a full bottle of vodka without pause, 2) Go out in the forest to kill a bear with bare hands, and 3) rape a woman.
When Pekka had reached the age of the rites of passage, he had no trouble at all with the vodka. He disappeared into the forest, and came back three days later, with clothes torn and blood dripping from several wounds. Then he said: "Now where's the woman I have to kill?"
I know I saw the website that was from somewhere. There is a series of images, a sequence of the young man with a different female monster, ending in a some drawings of him with all the females and their kids.
That is the Bard by this artist: http://www.elfwood.com/u/andersson2/images
His work is a bit risque but the site helpfully has some javascript blur thingy over the breastly bits (Which you can dismiss).
The Bard is a series of images dealing with the Bard and his tendency to, er, stick it successfully into a wide variety of of traditional fantasy monsters.
Considering that the Bard is also an absent father of the n-th degree, usually unaware of his success, the artist has a rather forward humor and a refreshing attitude to fantasy tropes I don't think a Hugo Award is in the offing.
That's just wrong...but I laughed.

ReplyDeleteReminds me of a joke (many variations exist)
