My Bloody Blog Header, Take II

Why I picked the previous header image of the planetoid at nighttime, I don’t really know. This blog isn’t merely for the purposes of bloviation (though it is certainly that) but also a forum for me to work out and give structure to my own internal philosophic musings, which are usually built in some form upon the sentiment expressed in the Mark Twain quote. For whatever reason, I tend to associate philosophic musings with celestial imagery, hence the previous header.

Still, the picture never seemed to jive with a title that included the word “coward.” And a recent epiphany led me to conclude the best image to match that word would probably be found somewhere in a Calvin and Hobbes strip, preferably one dealing with the various reptilian, mutant, be-fanged things which live beneath Calvin’s bed. The new image comes from the cover of Something Under the Bed is Drooling, though I suspect even more appropriate pictures may be found in Waterson’s illustrations to his poem A Nauseous Nocturne. (“It says ‘coward,’ so what’s he doing with the damn suction dart gun?”) For the moment, I have been unable to acquire any of those drawings in a usable format.

It continues to be a work in progress.
