Long live the Crapper!

Today, being January 27th, is the birthday of Thomas Crapper. The ingenious inventor of the flushing toilet and almost by some strange happy accident the one place where a man is truly king and can get some reading done in peace and quiet.  Sadly, there were probably thousands of outhouse builders that were made completely obsolete by his invention.

I for one am glad not to have to run outside in the middle of winter...and I suspect outhouses are where the female of our species developed her disdain for toilet seats that were left up. Lets be honest, that would have been quite a fall!

So, in honour of Mr. Crapper, I have gathered all the sketches I did in 2008 that I considered "crappy" and have lit them on fire. I then took the ashes and like some beloved pet goldfish past its prime I flushed them into oblivion. Thanks Thomas!
