[Animalbum] Laird MacAvoy’s return from the Second Boer War

War turnt Death intae wur mistress and us tae blind weans. This wealth we’d been fighting fir was cried “common” by name, sic a name wi which we’d tramp life tae the ground. The life o’ anither. Aye. Or so Ah gied masel tae ken. Sure, Ah managed tae haud masel thegither. Tae whit cost? Ma soul being aw cowped up fae me. Ah kent ma commandments: Leuk, but dinny see. See, but dinny feel. Feel, but n’er let oan.

Writers: L Haiman and Katie Craig

[Animalbum] Princess Marie of Edinburgh

Drawing portraits of royalty makes an artist feel like an angel. One that’s having tea with God. Etiquette is of utmost importance: carefully weigh your smiles, your words, your brush strokes. Missy was only a princess at the time. Beautifully young and unawarely Serene she bowed the first time we met – a short, acknowledging kind of bow. “You are the artist,” she said. “Then make me your art,” a playful smile stretching across her face. It was the smile of a princess, but she had the eyes of a Queen. One I could have drawn till the end of time.

[Animalbum] Forging Frog Inc.

I personally don’t like to talk about myself. Such a waste of time. For what? There will always be someone trying to discredit me. Out of envy, obviously. Like this piece in the gazette this morning. Said I always display this “I’ve got something you need and I know it” look on my face. Even if I did – which I’m not saying I do – I’m not ashamed of it. This is a tense present we’re living. And where others fail, I prevail. But most of all provide. Here, let me give you my card…

[Animalbum] The Demise of the Royal Hunting Flush

It was supposed to be a happy day, that Glorious Twelfth, and yet we could not find it in our hearts to even try and look happy. For the portrait, at least. But how could we? Each of us knew Bagby was missing from our renowned Royal Hunting Flush and worst of all, it was permanent. Every single one of our  haunting thoughts was painted on our faces: no more trophies, no more running, no more being on top of our five-piece game and no more Bagby. Not in the flesh, anyway. What was left of him was this hat; Trent could not be separated from it. He carried it around for days as if Bagby was somehow attached to it. He wasn’t. If anything, it gave us a sense of his absence.

[Animalbum] Imelda Gullifer’s Coming Out

Madam Gullifer inspected her daughter’s appearance one more time and straightened the sapphire pendant. 

“This is it! The most important day for the rest of your life. You have to shine, and beam and radiate. No one will do that for you. Sit up straight, don’t look down, and whatever you do don’t forget to smile. No one likes a sad face, even if…”

“And remember,” Sir Gullifer interrupted. “Intelligence is not encouraged, nor any interest in politics. Know your place, Imelda! And you shall be going places. Now off you go, make the Gullifer name proud!”
