Thanks for the link about the exploding sandwiches! whoa is right! and your werewolf...smug in his anonymity, he could pounce any moment. The button... is a symbol--? Perhaps for being buttoned down? Or buttoned up?
Subby has called it, it really is just the moon. But Celeste, there is something in what you say, as if the moon is somehow restrained. Somebody said "Werewolves are hairy on the inside".
Funny, the first thing I saw was the devil himself. Then the word werewolf appeared and I saw it too. But I guess they are both in the same gang, aren't they?
I loved to read the comments! People here are so inspired!
Yeah, I have been missing this corner of the internet!
Well, that´s exactly how one imagines a serial killer to look... hope the batteries are sufficiantly recharged (having some problems with them here, too...)
I love his coat and the button eye. Naomi's favourite film right now is Coraline, where the evil other mother tries to get Coraline to swap her eyes for buttons.
Clowncar: 'Werewolves are hairy on the inside' comes from a film that was a re-telling of the Little Red Riding Hood story. Wish I could remember the title. It starred Angela Lansbury. I remember it had a naked woman climbing into a well at the end. I would!
Did I get something right? That's new. Hello Susan. How is northern California? California's a big place, isn't it? There's a good Stephen Rea film set there, I think - about a dying photographer. I remember feeling a sense of identity with it. I'm hopeless on titles.
I do like this restrained moon - to my eye though it is a buttoned-up thought of a moon. A would-be wolfish fellow thinking about changing into werewolf - wishing for the change? or waiting for it?
I was reading a duality into the button-moon. A simultaneous symbol of wildness and domesticity. A whole story arose in my mind where the button takes the place of the moon. His wife takes out her sewing kit. A button falls to the floor, and the transformation begins!

It's like a smiley face button.
For a minute there I thought this was Christopher Hewlitt (Mr. Belvedere ). Uncanny resemblance!
Nice touch with the "moon" :)
I remember other werewolves burst out of their suits when transforming -- but here's the solution!

Yikes! Deranged domesticity, exploding sandwiches, panther hairballs ... we're not in Kansas (or wonderland) any more. But it's all goof fun.
Sorry, meant to say 'good' fun, not 'goof' fun, but I have to say it is probably a very revealing slip, Freudian or otherwise.
Subby has called it, it really is just the moon. But Celeste, there is something in what you say, as if the moon is somehow restrained. Somebody said "Werewolves are hairy on the inside".
A mother-of-pearl moon... how romantic!
Good to see you back - love your werewolf and his moon!
I love it! I never knew how werewolves spent their free time but now I do! Very snappy jacket!
I don't trust him, even if he does have very nice horns.
Chris- the fact that he is such and evidently well-fed werewolf counts in his disfavor.

Hi AS! Is this in reference to anything or just for fun? I like the coat and matching horns.
OK, just read through the comments...the "horns" are ears and the button is the moon.
I get it now.
CG- but do I get it? I like the stories my readers unpack.
Well, that´s exactly how one imagines a serial killer to look... hope the batteries are sufficiantly recharged (having some problems with them here, too...)
And you just know that chair is real leather...
Funny how long 4 days can seem!
Nice to see you back: are you refreshed?
Werewolves wear Fun Fur.
I used to be a Werewolf, but I'm alright nowoooooooooooooooo!
That's my kind of suit, does it come in 42" short?
reminds me of Max wearing the wolf suit in Wild Things.
Love "Werewolves are hairy on the inside." I've never heard that before.
I love his coat and the button eye. Naomi's favourite film right now is Coraline, where the evil other mother tries to get Coraline to swap her eyes for buttons.
So, he likes shopping at thrift stores. Don't we all? (Of course, the bats' ears have a much darker story to tell.)
nice to see you back and fully charged!!
now i'm itchy!
nothing like a fuzzy guy....

JJ- I think you've identified it, it is from one of Angela Carter's fairytale retellings (or warpings).

JJ- will look for the film.
Yes, it's largish. I am hoping to get Shayna here for a visit at some point, though.

He's fantastic!
ah ,Angela Carter.a Great Lost Voice.
Love this. And that button is a hoot.
I was reading a duality into the button-moon. A simultaneous symbol of wildness and domesticity. A whole story arose in my mind where the button takes the place of the moon. His wife takes out her sewing kit. A button falls to the floor, and the transformation begins!
i like this intriguing...the button is a fascinating touch...
Wonderful coat he wears!
Love it. So you.
