, Jack M. Haringa, Aaron Worley, Linda Addison, and of course Gerard Houarner. If you have ever caved and bought or read a Dead Cat collection, now is the time to weaken. In fact, it's a matter of life or death, right? To quote Houarner, or Dead Cat, "Remember, Dead Cat came back from the dead for you! It's not wise to ignore the dead!" My favorite all time bit is from Houarner's little collection of special Dead Cat horror thumbnail sketches, this time on Kali, Mother of All, complete with horrific illustration: "Here old time favorite. Maybe recognize from Harryhausen movie. Kali. Mother of All. All consuming. Goddess of the making and the breaking. Also just visiting. Much misunderstood. See necklace of heads, skirt of limbs, sword in hands, think unfriendly. Not unfriendly. Realistic. Show death, pain, destruction in world. All part of life. Can't change, can't deny. No negotiation. No illusion. No bullshit. Deal with it. Accept. Kali show way. Don't worry about system. Do your thing. Live. Now. But before you go, Dead Cat pass hat for tip. Still got to make a living over here in Circus and Medicine Show (p. 305)." If you like macabre humor and need a fresh start, Dead Cat can help. For a fee, of course.
