THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG?

Okay rampaging reptile fans, things have been a little slow here at Southernecrology Productions lately. Considering that this 'production company' is basically one immature idiot that works eighty hours a week and a couple of friends, we're pretty productive.

There will be a new flurry of activity on the Snapper Comic very soon. Also, as if anyone really cared, SNAPPER PROGENY is still in the works. You can translate that as I'll starting building a bigger, much better turtle as time allows. Regardless, SNAPPER PROGENY will be finished by September. Watch for 'creature production' photos very soon.

In the meantime, you can quench your rampaging turtle thirst with a book I ran across on Amazon.com. As fate would have it, said book is entitled SNAPPER. It is no way related to Southernecrology Production's SNAPPER SAGA, but still features a rampaging overgrown Alligator Snapping Turtle.

I haven't personally read it, but anything about a snapper killing folks can't be all bad!

The following is a photo of the book and the Amazon.com product description:



SNAPPER is a story that mirrors the timeless spirit of masterpieces such as JAWS and TREMORS. SNAPPER mixes suspense, horror, humor and bayou country hi-jinks to conjure up a tale that just might be true, as a Giant Alligator Snapping Turtle, whose natural habitat is being destroyed by an evil oil drilling company, goes on a rampage in the small, Louisiana river town of Scottsville.

Wolfgang Cooper's book was published in 2000. Southernecrology Productions shot SNAPPER and SNAPPER REVENGE in 2001. We started marketing the infantile mess in 2004. I don't know what sort of copyright issues this conjures, but Mr. Cooper's book was unknown to me until last week. Hell, I guess there's not to many things to call a story about a big snapper. I'm going to assume it's inconsequential, like when Harvey Comics tried to sue the makers of Ghostbusters, citing that the Ghostbusters insignia looked a lot like their character, Fatso.

A judge resolved the issue by stating something to the effect of their are only so many ways to draw a cartoon ghost.

Indeed.
