A year or so ago Alan Friswell, the bloke who made the CFZ Feegee Mermaid and also the guy responsible for some of the most elegantly macabre bloggo postings, wrote me an email. He had an idea for a new series for the bloggo. Quite simply, he has an enormous collection of macabre, fortean, odd and disturbing magazine and newspaper articles, and he proposed to post them up on the bloggo.
Now I have to admit here that I’m not particularly critical of taxidermy, or those who practice it. To be honest, I’ve done a bit myself, and as long as endangered species are not being threatened, and the process is being carried out for ‘honest’ reasons--educational for instance--then I don’t have a problem. But this article/advert is so funny--and slightly disturbing--that I’m not too sure where to start.
The guy in the first panel has what appears to be half the duck population of North America around his neck, and the living room in the last panel that looks like a set from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, complete with a (baby?) leopard stretched over the fireplace. A being promised that if I buy their super whiz-bang booklet I’ll be given specific instructions on how to mount birds? Over to you….
