Going through Tom Sawyer I couldn't help but take a little bit of time to draw something up based on this exchange. I'd like a bit more gore on the cat I must admit but I'm producing pieces at the minute for my portfolio to appeal to publishers hence the omission. Here's the text:
Tom hailed the romantic outcast:
Tom hailed the romantic outcast:
"Hello, Huckleberry!"
"Hello yourself, and see how you like it."
"What's that you got?"
"Dead cat."
"Lemme see him, Huck. My, he's pretty stiff. Where'd you get him ?"
"Bought him off'n a boy."
"What did you give?"
"I give a blue ticket and a bladder that I got at the slaughter-house."
"Where'd you get the blue ticket?"
"Bought it off'n Ben Rogers two weeks ago for a hoop-stick."
"Say - what is dead cats good for, Huck?"
"Good for? Cure warts with."
As I'm making work for publishing I thought I'd do a Black and White version too
