Today’s episode, Marriage, is part of a family of pieces known collectively as “The Winsor McCay Sketchbook.” Journey with us, won’t you? …to the icy border between East and West, where an unnamed man and woman stand on either side of the line discussing guns, knives, chemicals, blow darts, and trained killer thrushes. Enjoy! -CV

Brrrr. I hope They can outrun the trained killer thrushes because God knows thrushes show no mercy to traitors. And, yea, thrushes shall inherit the earth. Bravo!

not sure if this is relevant, but did you know that thrush* is a yeast infection (a fungus) of the infant mouth, which can also affect the nursing mother? our young couple may encounter this on the road to love, marriage and producing lil’ soldiers.

*oh, the thrush BIRD. i thought they were creating killer infections a la bioreagents. well then, the mistle thrush turdus viscivorus is a common garden bird, found throughout Asia, Europe, and North America. The smaller song thrush Turdus philomelos is declining in numbers, though it is not yet clear why.
