‘BTG’ is one of the most popular humor authors of all time. With numerous New York Times Best Sellers to his credit, countless publishing awards, and over 22,000,000 copies sold in 115 countries, you would think his brain would be highly organized ... But it’s not.
The Lost Bear feature, exclusive to GoComics, is ample proof of this. Welcome to BTG’s lifelong cerebral misadventure. The Lost Bear showcases the delightfully odd daily debris that tumbles out of BTG’s head when his mental engine starts to misfire. This is public therapy at its most entertaining, set within an absurdist pseudo-intellectual petting zoo – Feel free to feed the bear.

Who is Ted Hughes, please?
waycyber said, 7 months ago
Famous English poet – poems specialise in nature. Wrote The Iron Man.

He also wrote a superb, bleak and in places, darkly comic, series of poems under the overall title “Crow”.
I did them for ‘A’ level may moons ago. They were brilliant!
Have one, with my compliments.
Crow Blacker Than Ever
By Ted Hughes
When God, disgusted with man,
Turned towards heaven,
And man, disgusted with God,
Turned towards Eve,
Things looked like falling apart.
But Crow Crow
Crow nailed them together,
Nailing heaven and earth together-
So man cried, but with God’s voice.
And God bled, but with man’s blood.
Then heaven and earth creaked at the joint
Which became gangrenous and stank-
A horror beyond redemption.
The agony did not diminish.
Man could not be man nor God God.
The agony
Grew.
Crow
Grinned
Crying: “This is my Creation,” Flying the black flag of himself.

Dear Marg,
All you really need to know about Ted Highes is that most of his poetic attempts at ‘British surrealism’ stunk to high heaven.
By the by, Lost ears, C-Dog is winning the game today – “Ode Kill” is the best play on words I’ve seen in some time.
Well played, cunning mid-sized predator!

Well then, Ted Hughes poetry is something to crow about.

Speaking of crows, in the Kim Carnes song “Bette Davis eyes” there is the line “She’s precocious and she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush” … I prefer to re-write that line to : “… to make a crow blush.”
