And here's a story from right here in Alberta
which made the news earlier this year --
Oh, thought I couldn't work
SUPERHEROES
into this post?
Well, think again!
Synopsis --
When Captain America is transformed into a werewolf
on the front lines of World War II, he’ll need the help of
the Howling Commandos to take down a band of Nazi cultists
who intend to use supernatural forces to turn the tide of battle.
But can Cap control the skeptical, jaded Commandos
when he can barely control himself?
Now THAT'S good literature!
And yes, I am reading this
comix series at the moment.
A fun and silly time of the year.
ReplyDeleteThe news article from Airdrie is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteMy son would have been the kind of kid who was disappointed he didn't turn into a werewolf.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Interesting info of wolves; never heard earlier 😲
ReplyDeleteLove the slow connection one. I had to steal it.
ReplyDeleteHey, that blurb would make me read that comic book in a heartbeat!
ReplyDeleteI'm LOLing at the kid who wanted to become a werewolf!
XOXO
I like the guy/ww with the tie!
ReplyDeleteThat "Werewolf By Night" shirt is to die for.
ReplyDeleteCapwolf sounds interesting. Captain America is a bit too tame when you think about it. These are fun, thanks.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
My favorite October sweatshirt reads "Never Moon A Werewolf!" Sadly, there are people who ask me about it 'cause they don't get it! I weep for the future! 😢
ReplyDeleteHilarious slow connection! And the silver bullet salesman.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to see Aware Wolf again tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLoved this
ReplyDeleteI don’t know of the Irish wolf
The Welsh don’t have a history of bad wolves or ghost wolves, although I know wolf skulls were found when the GOP hill was excavated ?
The Welsh do have a black dog ghost tradition which foretells a death
I want that shirt!
ReplyDelete"Aware wolf" - the best one.
ReplyDeleteAn aware wolf will stop and smile the roses.
I completely understand the kid. If one must be attacked by a werewolf, the least the creature can do it pass the howl forward. It's just polite.
ReplyDeleteYour post evokes fantasy!
ReplyDeleteToo much hair gel? AHAHA!
ReplyDeleteAware wolf? GRRROAN!
Aware wolf 😂
ReplyDeleteAnd the child very disappointed he didn’t turn into a werewolf.
I kinda feel for him. I’d be disappointed too
Loved the silver bullet.
ReplyDeleteI was interested to hear about the Irish werewolf or faoladh as it is called in that mysterious language. Because I have personal experience of being a child, and a wounded man, and a lost person.
ReplyDeleteI also venerate the Santo Nino de Atocha, complete with his sandals and staff and water gourd. If it isn't carrying the gourd, that's not my Santo.
Anyway, thank you.
You may have only worked on superhero in this post, but the Marvel Universe was worked in twice. The shirt depicts Werewolf by Night, a comic book series that ran in the 1970s, maybe beyond. The title werewolf occasionally fought superheroes but was at this best battling other monsters. Can't say for sure, but that looks like John Romita Sr's art.
ReplyDelete@ Richard -- Thanks for teaching me about Santo Nino de Atocha, I had not heard this legend before. The wikipedia entry is every interesting!
ReplyDelete@ Kirk -- I did not know this! I assumed it was a reproduction of an old movie poster. Thanks for enlightening me!
ReplyDeleteLove the little boy's comment! And the meditating wolf!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of the Irish Werewolf!
ReplyDeleteInteresting about the Irish werewolf.
ReplyDeleteThe tie one was good.
Somehow, I can actually believe that article about the kid being disappointed. Kind of like Calvin with his Transmorgifier.
ReplyDeleteThe hairgel werewolf was spot on. He'd be perfect in today's world.
Have you seen Overly Sarcastic Productions on Werewolves? It's great.
ReplyDeleteI'll take werewolves over vampires any day!
ReplyDeleteLoved the Irish version, somehow it just seems right.
Cheers,
e
Reminds me of Wayne and Shuster's Dr Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde skit. "Where have you been?" "I've been a broad".
ReplyDeleteI'm with the disappointed kid. All that trauma and no benefits!
Please do not misunderstand and call my Santo Nino de Atocha a Christian minor saint. In my understanding , he is an avatar of Hermes and that is why he protects travelers and lost people.
ReplyDeleteThose lazy-ass gods were not even paying attention. They were happy to just hang out on Olympus and drink ambrosia. It took god-times for our poor Santo to convince that jealous Hera, and Zeus was never on his side to begin with. Then he had to convince Aphrodite to at least please just keep your mouth shut, goddess of love.
I think the whole family got involved. What a mess!
But that is why Santo Nino de Atocha wears a plumed hat, sandals and carries a gourd and a basket and a seashell. I have a fondness for this little God. He could probably help a werewolf.
I love werewolves, but would love to have werewolves stories more akin to old folklore.
ReplyDeleteOh and I lvoe the Gary Larrson cartoon.
ReplyDeleteBring some silver bullets 🐺🔫
ReplyDeleteI want to buy that shirt for my son for christmas.
