Musings About Irrelevant Things #4

Why is it that only mammal flesh is named independantly of the animal? I mean, when you eat a trout or a chicken you are eating trout or chicken, respectively, but when you eat a cow you are required to refer to it as beef (or veal if you subscribe to the "younger = tastier" philosophy).

There are exceptions like buffalo or bear or even moose, but for the most part you have to think of a different name for what you are eating, or three different names in the case of pig (god help you if you call your ham "pork").

Some Arts V: Arts In Space

Here is a little glance at the upcoming page of The Masked Avenger. This hopefully signals my triumphant almost return to comic-ry. Ian take notice, I am only a few pages away from being finished issue 6. And I think I will make it this time.

To make up for the wait colour and crisp word bubbles may be involved (the word bubbles for sure the colour, well I've gotten lazy before let's just say it could happen again). The following page is in a similar state of completion only it has not been scanned.

At any rate it is guarenteed to be more enjoyable than X3 which as you may have guessed I did not enjoy. But if you did enjoy it then just think of how much more you will enjoy these coming pages of Masked Avenger.

Cheers
