News and views from the Dutch Uncle of dreamland.
posted by Jim Woodring at 7:47 PM
I was born in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in Southern California and enjoyed an exciting childhood full of poetry and paroniria among the snakes, rats and tarantulas of that enchanted realm. I eventually grew into an inquisitive bearlike man who has had three exciting careers; garbage collector, merry-go-round-operator and cartoonist. Some of my work is collected in THE BOOK OF JIM, THE FRANK BOOK and SEEING THINGS (all published by Fantagraphics) and in various toys, fabrics, prints and urban legends. Thank you for your interest.

When I saw my first Ghillie suit in the hunt'in and fish'in catalog, I was apalled. Not only was I certain that the Ghillie was an endangered species (as it was the first time I'd heard of one), but it seemed more than unfair for hunters to go around in Ghillie skins, like hunters in Ghillie clothing.
Now as much as I can sympathize with the practice of severing an animal's head and mounting it on the wall as a testiment to its majesty, the Ghillie suit I cannot abide by. Impersonating a Ghillie is a mocking gesture, and to parade around minstrel-like in Ghillie clothes demonstrates a lack of respect for this rare and majestic creature.
So how does anyone catch a Ghillie in the first place? They seem almost impossible to spot. I'd be curious to know where you, sir, came by your own Ghillie disguise, and the legality of its import.
Those Ghillies were completely happy in captivity!
They love to sing and dance, especially if you get a little liquor in 'em.
They just showed up at that party, so I suppose you could lure them with food, drink, and bellydancers.
more belly dancers and pencil nubs
the anatomical chart seems to be covering critical evidence
wish I were there.
ghillies are doing their best I am sure, but the bellydancer and pencil nubs were more photogenical
Ged s beag de thuigse tha 'nam cheann
Gun inn's an gleann gu leòr dhomh,
'S gun dèan e thaisbean dhomh gu luath
Gum faigh an uaigh a còirean.
