Goatwater, Series 2: Transcript
CRACKED FIGURINES - PAGE 13- The Suppression Of All That Is Magic
On the way to the new world, Delilah asked Itello what he would do first when they got there. She hoped he’d say in that deep voice of his, “Baby, I want to take you to IHOP.” But he didn’t. What he said was, “Delilah, all I want to do when we get to the new world is hold your hand.” The new world, these two descendants of descendants who were the descendants of the descendants of slaves were going to, is named The Sixth World. It is a place that is twice what The Third World is. They heard that in The Sixth World it wouldn’t matter to anyone, least of all themselves, that Delilah was light-skinned and Itello dark. In the Sixth World, they would be sure that Itello loved Delilah beyond her non-threatening, somewhat socially acceptable, beauty and that Delilah had more tolerance for Itello’s darkness than she, in her troubled heart, truly did. The division between the two of them was an unfortunate legacy of the Transatlantic slave trade, stemming not solely from the mad-making effects of centuries of unpaid labor but from an equal, though often unacknowledged degradation: the practice of forcing slaves to separate love stories from their dreams and extract dreams from their love stories – in other words, the suppression of all that is magic.

Dear Reader,
If you don't dream any other day of the week, dream with me on Tuesdays.
Welcome to Goatwater, Series #2, entitled "Cracked Figurines." The title of this Page is "The Suppression Of All That Is MAgic". I will post Goatwater 2, page 14 on Tuesday, August 7th. Here's a link to the latest Goatwaterstrip.
Goatwaterstrip - single panel Goatwater comics in black and white, much like you'd find in a newspaper. I create most of these with pen, pencil, ink and sometimes black and white paint. Every Tuesday you can continue to expect a full color painting from the Goatwater series plus most weeks I'll add one or two Goatwaterstrips. Please contact me if you have any questions about original Goatwater drawings or paintings for sale as well as signed reproductions. Thank you for all of your support and I look forward to continuing this Goatwater journey with you in new and interesting ways.
You can now link to the Table of Contents on every page. Click here to start at the beginning of this webcomic. Have a great week and remember that Goatwater is updated every Tuesday. Email any questions or comments to bassacards(at) yahoo.com.
If this is your first time visiting this site, or you are a regular reader, email me at the address above if you want me to add you to my mailing list so that I can send you an email reminder, every Tuesday, when I’ve added the new page.
