giraffe comic page 1

This comic is obviously based off of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle book tale "how the elephant got his trunk", which I had incorrectly thought was an Aesop's fable, until just a few minutes ago when I went to reasearch for this description. While looking the myth up I found this: [link] Although it looks uncannily like the drawings in my comic, right down to the extreem black/white contrast in the inking, the white crocidile, and his nearly silhouetted black victim, (even the gesture is similar!) I had never seen this drawing until moments ago. The drawing is evidently by Kipling himself, who illustrated the story, originally titled "The Elepnant's Child."

The full text of all Kipling's "just so" stories can be found at this address, [link] with his illustrations.
