Help! I'm inundated under a deluge of author photos!
As I've mentioned here before, I'm responsible for designing the programme book for this year’s Bouchercon here in Toronto. It’s a gigunda job, to say the very least. Today, a call went out, a rather desperate one, really, asking registered authors who haven’t yet done so to please send in their author headshots.
The response has been an email blizzard of them, so much so that my inbox is overflowing. I’m not complaining in the slightest, mind you. This is a Good Thing. I could visualize them all arriving on the very last day for submissions, so getting them now will save me a ton of agony later on.
However, I’d only started writing today’s blog and had not got very far before the tsunami hit. So my interesting blog subject will have to wait until next Tuesday.
But, fear not loyal readers of Type M for Murder! In writing last week’s topic, I used a photo of a dead fly. That led me down a dark internet wormhole where I found a whole treasure trove of Dead Fly Cartoons.
So for your gentle delectation, I present some of my favourite examples of this obscure art form. Enjoy!
I did not realize dead fly cartoons were a thing. Interesting and rather funny.
ReplyDeleteI thought so -- and there are hundreds, if not thousands!
ReplyDeleteThe last one really tickles my funny bone.
And to think I've been wasting my time writing books when I could have been drawing fly cartoons...
ReplyDeleteThere's probably better money in dead fly cartoons, too.
