Kathy Gray's "Catching a snake..."

Transcription

: i) Catching a snake ii) Not as esay (sic.) as it looks
                                             K.Gray 19/9/15

(19th September 1915)

Utilising one of the rare sheets of grainy parchment, close attention to the paper fibres shows one serpent's termination and that this final rendition has been Rolfed in over practice pencil.

I'm not being a "sic."ly whuppable persnicket about Kathy's LOGICAL spelling mistake, it pleases me greatly - as does the snake's perspective in the first picture coupled with the slanting frames. These are understated clues (and this is flannel ! LOL !) both in ascertaining the tender years of its originator (I believe this is the endeavour of a nine year old) and in evidencing the likelihood that the pot-plot was her own invention and not hoiked from the annals (or, indeed, the Annuals) of "Comic Cuts" or "Chicks' Own".
