It was mildly ironic, but on thursday night our friend Jack Ashby at the Grant Museum, announced a forthcoming lecture on the dearth of werewolves in contemporary culture. I say Ironic because in recent days it seems that the folk on the CFZ Bloggo can talk about little else.
It started when Dr Dan commented on Oll's article

And then continued with some lycanthropic comments on Karl Shuker's article on dog deities.

BTW, bringing the subject back to Oliver again; there was a comment on Karl's blog posting about the Welsh legend of `Gelert` - the brave dog who died saving his master's baby. Oll takes a severe look at this legend (amongst other things) in the latest CFZ Yearbook and finds it wanting!
