Art From Mila and Jayna: Calpernia Eats the Bell Witch’s Soul
My musings yesterday on letting go of childhood fears in the face of adult realities attracted the keen imaginations of the fantastically talented girls over at the Transponder podcast, Jayna and Mila Pavlin. Everyone knows them for their insightful podcasts over at trans-ponder.com, but I also really connected with their artistic side when I followed Jayna’s always surprising stream of character drawings, and Mila and I discussed a shared love of horror/sci-horror pioneer H.P. Lovecraft (see Mila’s gorgeous “Rats in the Walls” illustration here).
I received this lovely illustration of me about to dine on the soul of Kate Batts, the Bell Witch of Tennessee, this morning and I LOVE it! Gobble gobble!

Love this cartoon of you…and also love you for courageously conquering your fears over the years! I think it would be cool if the Pavlins (or somebody else equally talented) could start a comic-book series (online or whatnot) with you as the star. You could write the stories….what do you think?
When I joked about the Bell Witch as "The Blair Witch's smarter cousin," I was thinking how making fun of what you fear is sometimes an effective way of conquering the threat of evil. I'd love to see a parody story of a rival B-Witch who is totally inept at haunting her living targets
Speaking of H.P. Lovecraft, here are 2 hilarious Jack Chick parodies: http://www.myconfinedspace.com/wp-content/uploads… and http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=135
