wow...look at that thing....that's like ULTIMATE matrixing...or ULTIMATE hoax. Is that supposed to be the Jersey Devil?

The thing was chasing a deer at night. It was one of the versions of a Goat Sucker.
Sorry, still learning how to do things in the forums, I refering to the picture of Bambi's evil twin

"Bambi meets Godzilla":  I saw this gem in my first animation festival in Milwaukee, back in the early '70s, though it's even older than that, I think.  It was the first time I had ever seen anything that darkly humorous.  (Ah, those were simpler, gentler times for a twelve-year-old).  I'm sure, the latest generation fed on a steady diet of digital arts and box-to-oven animation programs, looks at this little guy and says, "I could have done that myself."  In reality, it was probably Mary Newland's Master's Thesis, needing a year just to draw the individual cels.  She might have had a more elaborate conclusion in mind, but by the time she finished the exhaustive process of filming the credits, she was probably out of money, time and patience.  (Never mind her carpal tunnel syndrome.)  Bambi, then, is a trope for Newland's angst in the vicious arena of graduate school academia:  naively persuaded to believe she is being nurtured in a safe and creative environment, but in reality being foisted into a contrived and competitive arena wherein her professorial spectators are the only victors.  If we apply this view to our current socio-political climate, we can see how . . .

Whoops.  Time for another cup of coffee.  (Blame it on the Ethiopian Harrar.)

Hey!  Jersey Devil my ass.   I know that fruit bat.  He likes to scare away the starlings outside of Pick Up Stix in Mission Valley and scrounge for plum sauce packets.

Hmmm.  Karl? . . . "Fruit" bat? . . . What are you insinuating, Tim.

Hey,
I thought it was Bambi's evil twin. I never thought it was a fruit bat.
Though it did remind of a guy I saw in Casa De Oro standing in front a liquor store
asking for change.

Hey Karl,

That's no fruit bat. It's not even Bambi's evil twin. I've seen this guy before. My cousin from New York caught some exclusive footage of this creature recently. Here's the link...

Why, it's making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up just thinking about it...
