"The Horse Killer"

A World Premiere Comics Event

by EHE




NOTES:

In panel 1, "NHEE" is the sound of the horse, neighing his final neigh inside the barn...

In panel 4, please understand that the man is handing the dead horse to his wife, who is standing directly on the other side of the horse, such that you can't see her (though you can hear her).

In panel 5, dialogue must be read right to left. Girl: "Pa, do you think you could make this a little easier?" Pa: "No." Girl is making bells or windchimes out of the horse's hooves while Pa cooks the horse meat (I think).

Reads like a scene from a Cormac McCarthy novel! Ah, imagination ...

Come now, Cormac McCarthy = read only when book club forces me to.

EHE = hotly anticipated debut!

Well done indeed. (I like the ambiguity too -- well done as in "good job" or as in "how I like my horse meat.")
