Good stick Battles for stick men
Tonight, looking for a check [which I eventually found], I came across a wonderful artifact from Daniel's recent literary forays - probably from sometime in 2014. It was a "book" - several pieces of copier paper stapled together, rendered entirely in black crayon, with the content below. Spelling, spacing and case-sensitivity are scrupulously faithful to the original manuscript.
[Title, surrounded by bold black dots, almost like a movie marquee]
Good stick
Battles for
stick men.
[Drawings of stick-men and swords]
[Bottom of the page:]
Number 1
Battle of the stick
The second page contains sixteen frames - mostly filled with violent stick-figure scenes, but two containing text, rather like a silent movie.
One text-box reads:
I'll save
The
Day
The second one reads:
every
one
dide
The third box: "The END [except that END is colored out, an apparent bit of redaction]
The fourth and final frame reads:
chapter two
more fighting
Unfortunately, this is where the unfinished masterpiece stops, for now...
Only Daniel could write a book where "every one dide" in Chapter 1, but Chapter 2 is still planned to have more fighting
