Rhapsodies

Well for this rhyme,  “It’s Once I Courted As Pretty a Lass”, I was afraid I was dealing with one of the cliche’s of this collection, a gentleman gone a wooing… that is until I got to the last verse and found it very entertaining. I think this is one of the few times I find Values Dissonance working in out favor. The narrator clearly thinks this is a story about a faithless woman, where as I read it as someone dealing with a pest. All the way through drawing this I kept thinking “You go, Girl!”

The only problem I had with this was that I wasn’t sure if a Hog Tub was the same as a pig trough in the context of the poem… I decided not to worry about it.
