SciFi and Fantasy Art Werewolves of London by Dave Cripps

"I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein

Ahhwooo, werewolves of London
Ahhwooo
Ahhwooo, werewolves of London"

24 May 2009	Tom Draco Noir Taylor	Loading... Funny concept, and clever puns, I’m sure, but I am afraid we hear little ****ney slang here in Sunny old Arizona. In fact we are amongst the ones Professor Higgins spoke when he said, referring to the English language" In America they haven’t spoken it in years!". I am a big Warren Zevon fan, though. Sad to hear of his passing. I never quite understood the song either, but liked it. Is London still infested with Lycanthropes? Dang, we only have U.F.O.s and Chupacabras here. Dave Cripps replies: "This is the reason I don’t live in London. Too many werewolves! We seem to have had a rash of UFO’s in England though by the looks of them in the papers and TV they seem to suspiciously float along like those Chinese lanterns that fly about."
24 May 2009	Tom Draco Noir Taylor	Loading... Drat and horsefeathers! It censored my London-slang Dialect word! Did that once to my wife when she told someone we used to raise pea**s! Then someone else said they censored her dog breed, a er Spaniel! Suppose atoos and -a-poos would be censored too. Dave Cripps replies: "Yep I cant think why they would censor the work . It’s a perfectly normal word. Like the ball ** in the cistern at the back of the loo. Now you have to call it a flotation valve. And a snowman becomes a snow person. And don’t ever walk into a cellar without the light on and say ’It’s pitch black in here’ when the correct term now id ’Pitch dark’.... It’s political Correctness gone Maaaaaaaaaaad!"
26 May 2009	Diane Grandamelf Reed	Loading... Hi Dave, (it has been a while) I get a kick out of this fellow! could he any cooler! (I think not) Dave Cripps replies: "No he’s the coolest werewolf in town "
26 May 2009	Helle Jorgensen	Loading... That’s a nice one! I love the scenery. I wish I knew more rhyming slang, but a deficiency in that department sorta comes with being born and bred in Denmark: I only come across the stuff when I read. Anyhow: apples and pears = stairs, Jack jones = alone, ruby murray = curry. Now what did I forget? You already mentioned the whistle and flute one. Dave Cripps replies: "You got 3! There are plenty more in there. I really must post a larger version since a couple of them are a little lost in the jpeg mush... Denmark... I can hear the bacon sizzling as we speak (You make bacon in Denmark I know that ’cos the adverts say so)"
28 Jul 2009	Aaron Weaver	Loading... Cool, a Lycan in the open, Gets smacked by Death Dealer. Soorrry about that. When I first saw that picture I though of the werewolves of London song. Good ’un, Cringes from threatened blow. That looks fly! Dave Cripps replies: "Just a little twist on the the theme. I’ve seen many versions all with Big Ben and a Red Bus in the frame just in case you didn’t get it LOL. But only a few have taken my challenge."
22 Oct 2009	Jeanette M Thomas	Loading... Experimenting. A comenter in another gallery seemrd to beat the censor bu putting half the word in another color, as "The Lady of the Pea**s." See if it works here. If it does, Ill be able to say **ney even if I can’t spot the slang references. East Enders was on our local PBS TV a few yrs ago, but Sorry to say I don’t remember the slanguage. .......Well that’sone failed mad experiment. Dave Cripps replies: "Please do not judge all of Britain by the old Eastenders. Anyway it’s not as funny as it once was with Arthur Fowler . This experiment seems to have gone awry. But wait I see more...."
22 Oct 2009	Jeanette M Thomas	Loading... Cancel, not working - see below. Dave Cripps replies: "I can hardly wait "
22 Oct 2009	Jeanette M Thomas	Loading... One more try - I think I’ve got it. Peacocks are such gorgeous creatures. If so, can use Cockney after all. ....Halleluia - got it - jus color all but one letter of the censorable word. Wheee. Thanks to the Purple Dragoness. Dave Cripps replies: "Wahey! Someone will always work their way around a censor Now all I need to do is re-submit this picture so all the details can be seen. Maybe next year Oh have a Goosey Gander at my Other Works. There is a fine example of a Pea****"
23 Mar 2010	Chelsea L Pennelly	Loading... Awesome! Dave Cripps replies: "Close to awesome I know.... Big Head "
3 Apr 2010	Eevee	Loading... I love this song and the pic, keep up the good work Dave Cripps replies: "OK will do."
