Entirely Too Much Irony

Let me tell you a little story about two fellows named Ski and Dick and a girl name Carrie. A few weeks ago, during a game of Batman, Carrie suffered a tragic injury.

An accident, to be sure. But I ask you, was not the Hindenburg disaster an accident? No matter, Carrie was put back together and even today is in fine condition with no stain of her recent maiming.

Not long after that incident, Ski purchased a set of new models for Batman, the Teen Titans box set.

Scads of interesting characters. Neat costumes. Dick.

The first few models I chose to paint were Beast Boy, his three animal forms and Robin / Dick Grayson.

Yesterday, a half-painted and presumably precariously balanced Dick was knocked to the floor and trodden upon by SWMBO. An accident, to be sure. But I ask you, was not the Texas City disaster an accident?

Methinks the red/green/yellow uniform is jinxed.

Post script.

The model is mostly repaired. The knee break is being truculent. He's lost the bo staff permanently but the model looks OK without it.
