Avatars: West Virginia (also Inktober #3) A WILD WEBCOMIC HAS APPEARED!!
Did you know that there have been new Moth-man sightings as of 2017? Not in West Virginia this time, but in Illinois. But I wanted to drew Westy here, as she is . . easier to draw than Illinois (I have two kids now, sorry for the lazy!)
Anyway, if anyone does not know, Moth-man is a Cryptid who was sighted around point Pleasant Wet Virginia around 1967, up until the Silver Bridge collapsed, killing 46 people. One of the legends surrounding the mysterious Moth-man appearances was that he was foretelling the disaster of the bridges collapse . . by scaring the beejeesus outta people I guess . . .
The cause of the collapse was found to be a single defect in an eyebeam, (a defect that could not have been detected with the inspection equipment at that time); however, the collapse did draw needed attention onto the disrepair of a lot of other bridges.
Except not for long American infrastructure is aging . . badly. We are in dire need or repairs. The American Society of Civil Engineers estimates the US needs to spend some $4.5 trillion by 2025 to fix the country's roads, bridges, dams, and other infrastructure. The ASCE rated our bridges a C+, our Dams, Levees, Drinking Water, hazardous Waste storage, Ports, Roads, AND SCHOOLS all “D”
So You know, maybe Moth-man is back. Maybe I should sketch “Moth-Man emergin from the Sky to Wanr the USA about our Infastructure Fail.” But right now, we just have this comic,.
