Ishmael: I want to go whaling to see the world!
Peleg: Look over there. *sends him to stare at the ocean* That enough world for ya?
Man, I feel bad for Queequeg. People were really getting on his case about his religion today.
MARCHANT SERVICE? MARCHANT SERVICE?! FLUKES, MAN! I’ll rip your leg off!
I can so imagine Peleg and Bildad, whilst simultaneously on shore, having spent almost every evening for the past 30+ years having dinner together, still bickering the whole time.
SPOILERS FOR MOBY DICK
Why did no one tell me this book could be funny at times? I really hope Peleg butchering Queequeg's name is a gag that lasts.
Here’s something a bit different … an illustration from Moby Dick, made as a Christmas present for my recently-retired English teacher father, who tried to talk me into reading it for something like a decade. I did, in secret, and then made this for him for the reveal.
I chose to illustrate an early chapter entitled “Merry Christmas” (for various reasons), but the inset panels depict scenes from the last chapter/epilogue.
