Here There Be Tygers

Neil Gaiman mentions, in the intro to Fragile Things, that "The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch" was inspired by a Frazetta piece. So, I went through my Frazetta books, to see which one fit.

. . . Do you know how many frickin' Frazettas there are with A) a savage woman, and B) sabretooth tigers? Half-a-dozen or more. Even when I included the clues from the story of "straight black hair" and "carrying a spear", it still only narrows it down to two or three.

Sheesh.

Heh,

At least he said Tigers. If he'd said Polar Bears, you'da been screwed. :)

I got a little wiggly knowing you're reading a book I gave you.

Tell me more about this wiggling . . .

Sometimes I wiggle in very tight red dresses, which arrived in the mail today.

Yeah, I just reread that the other day. Some artists just need to get some new fucking ideas. :)

True. Though, on reflection, you'd make a fabulous model for Frazetta.

Heh. I cannot visualize myself in a Xena, Warrior Princess-type image. It's so...not me. I need to learn how to buckle my swash a bit better, I think.

You could just ask him, you know...

I love that collection! Including the preface and the Little Nemo in Slumberland cartoon :)

My favorite story by a long shot is the Lovecraftian Sherlock Holmes story. That just blew my socks clean off.

On a barely related Neil Gaiman front - I am eagerly awaiting Absolute Sandman 3's release in May. That series has been an awesome use for the constant stream of Barnes and Noble gift cards I get from my family on holidays and birthdays.
