Illustration by Desdemona McCannon

For cover of  Death's Jest Book.

“Webster was much possessed by death
And saw the skull beneath the skin;
And breastless creatures under ground
Leaned backward with a lipless grin.

Daffodil bulbs instead of balls
Stared from the sockets of the eyes!”

T.S.Eliot

Don'tcha know:

  "The foot bone connected to the leg bone,
  The leg bone connected to the knee bone,
  The knee bone connected to the thigh bone,
  The thigh bone connected to the back bone,
  The back bone connected to the neck bone..."
