The Foolish Wise Man

I wrote this song in 1986 for a theatre show I was in. Thanks to David and Jeff for helping me learn more to the song than I suspected!

The Cat and the Caveman

This is one of two "modern myths" from my self-published book "The Cat and the Caveman." The other story is about--yes--a Caveman.

How Creatures Got Their Features! (Well, Maybe)

A joint project between my friend Tercio and me. His is the magnificent voice, and the putting-it-all-together on iMovie. Mine are the storytelling and the drawings, though the story is basically an elongated version of what I think is a fairly common folktale.

"The Caveman" of "The Cat and the Caveman"

This is the second story in a self-published book entitled "The Cat and the Caveman."

The Fisherman and His Wife

This is the first storytelling project my friend Tercio and I did together. His is the marvelous voice, and mine are the drawings.

The Saga of the People With the See-Through Heads

A parable for the modern day.

BEOWULF!!!

My father--an English professor--used to tell this story to my sister and me as we sat in the tub when we were tiny. It's one of my earliest and dearest memories. My friend Tercio helped me honor that memory of my dad with his voice and editing talents. Mine are the pictures and the words of this particular version.

SillyNose DeBirdgerac

For a long time we suspected female toucans might be attracted to male toucans with larger, more colorful, and well maintained bills. The thought was these attributes might signify to the female toucan a healthier male, capable of producing healthier offspring. Sometime within the last twenty years, what we'd suspected for a long time gained support from statistical evidence collected in the field.
