viscous dog
a thief in the night
So when I was a kid I’d vertically swap letters- q for b and so on. I would get around this by capitalizing them but it was hit and miss for a while there. My writing from elementary school looked like extremely bad typsetting.
A couple years ago, mom found an early essay on the categories of dogs, which contains my favorite topic concept:
“SOme Dogs are qap. This Dog is A goop Dog.”
Followed by an illustration of my dog, who was deciededly nongoopy.
So finally. A Goop Dog.
[Image description: A vaguely Pointer-shaped dog standing in a dark, misty field. It glances over its shoulders at us, holding a freshly caught black duck. Its eyes glow white and its black “fur” slowly drips down its tail and legs. The soft white light reflecting off its goo gives it an almost starry-night appearance.]
