Daniel Boone and the Giant p7 - Boone and Crockett: The Sasquatch Sagas Chapter 3

Here yet is my latest page of my most recent ongoing comic project in the comic-tization of the true life adventures of both Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone, who each independently experienced encounters with a Sasquatch -- This being a man's letter recounting Boone's first-hand account as told to himself when he was a boy, from around the turn of the 19th Century when correct spelling was still just optional.

Segue p4&5 - Boone and Crockett: Sasquatch Sagas Chapter 2

When I finished the final page of my segue between the Crockett and the Boone stories, and went to post it here, I discovered that, though I'd uploaded it, I hadn't actually published the penultimate page yet.

So here they are together, the last two pages of the segue/break/intermission between the main stories. Next stop Boonesborough!

Segue p3 - Boone & Crockett: The Sasquatch Sagas Chapter 2

Normally when I do one of these Gerb and gang renditions of literary sources, the portrayal itself contains little jokes and fourth wall flouting dialogues, questioning, mostly on the part of Gerb, the direction taken, or the interpretation of the material, by the “lame-brained cartoonist.” 

For some reason - perhaps the brevity of the original source materials - so far, this particular project hasn’t contained the same breaks and asides from the primary documentation. Therefore, this ‘second chapter’ segue between the two main stories was probably inevitable to give the necessary space and free reign to the guys to express those things that are such an integral ingredient of my comics.

Segue p1&2 - Boone and Crockett: The Sasquatch Sagas Chapter 2

As an update to my last post, I couldn't not connect the two stories, the most likely segue between the Davy Crockett chapter and the Daniel Boone chapter, being the inevitable behind the scenes squabble amongst my characters about who should play the leading role. Enjoy!

Davy Crockett and the Bigfoot Prophecy (Boone and Crockett: The Sasquatch Sagas - Chapter 1)

This is one of two comics I’ve been planning on drawing for quite awhile now - ever since I discovered the fact that both of my childhood heroes, Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone, had individual, documented experiences of encounters with a Sasquatch. 

This one, Davy Crockett’s first hand account, is briefer with a bit more of a paranormal slant than Daniel Boone’s, with a prophetizing by the Bigfoot. As a shaman, in my eyes, this actually lends credence to the validity of the experience, particularly since this occurred in 1836, in Nacohdoches, Texas on his way to the Alamo!

Daniel Boone’s narrative is next on my agenda, but I haven’t yet decided whether it’s going to be two separate tales or two parts of a single comic. I’m leaning toward the latter, so stay tuned to find out how it plays out! 

                                       

 

Saint Daniel ~ Patron Saint of The Year of Trail Blazing

I have proclaimed for myself that this is the "Year of Trail Blazing." It therefore called for a changing of the guards, so to speak.  I used to look to Davy Crockett (Saint Davy) to remind me that my life is an adventure (And I really do have Saint Davy Prayer Candles like the one I drew). But something new has been sparking inside me, and more than just seeing the adventure that's happening to me, I am irresistibly drawn to strike out, claim my place as co-creator of my life, and actively blaze trails to the life I desire. And thus did step forward another childhood hero, Daniel Boone (Saint Daniel), one of the men who explored and blazed trails into the vast wilderness of this country.

 

In case you can't read the Gothic calligraphed words, here is the prayer:

Saint Daniel,

Grant me the

Boldness,

Courage,

and Vision,

to joyfully follow

my wild heart

guidance

in blazing trails

and exploring

the Undiscovered Countries

of my Soul.

Amen.
