PIC: Zoomorphic Revolutionaries

[backupmemories]

Yes, yet another joke on Thermidorian propaganda. I promise to post the other two Vampire Hunter Rousseau pictures soon, they're more interesting. ^^;; maelicia and I were talking about various depictions of revolutionaries in Thermidorian propaganda, and the popular description of Maxime as a cat came up.

I commented that it's a good thing no one who had read that particular story had then gone onto a career in anime, or else we'd be faced with catboy!Robespierre and other such things...

Inevitably, I actually did draw it. ^^







I'm contemplating continuing this, because it takes me about two minutes to do each one. Any ideas? Snake!Marat? Something for Saint-Just? And what is Camille - some sort of pigeon???

Suggestions welcome, please. Accuracy to Thermidorian preferred for the joke value, but not required. ^__^

The author Robin Page, cited by Waters at the end of that bit of self pity was also an active Aparthied supporter. Many Countryside Alliance supporters are also far-right: the magazine 'Earth Dog Running Dog' carried the Countryside Alliance masthead until there was a big story in the papers about their editorials which contained comments like 'the Jew Straw (the then Hom Sec) and his monkey Boateng'

Paul Boateng being a black MP... sorry about multiple posting but every time I do a link it erases stuff...the aristos also like to claim - as in that bit by Waters - that they are an 'oppressed minority group' - here's my take on that, and oh I was so pleased to see the letter they published just before it! - http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2003/jul/03/hunting.ruralaffairs

Sorry about going off-topic, but I had to get that rant off my chest!

My view is that hunting with dogs is not only morally correct but also a natural expression of mans' nature as an omnivore.

Question: ...can we eat foxes? Because I doubt we do. And thus the whole argument fails.

We could eat them, in case of dire need, but we don't. But obviously, the argument still fails, because they're hardly in dire need, now are they?
