    That’s what you get for not putting sprinkler systems in your haystacks.

    Having and open BBQ pit in a straw house proved to be a bad idea.

    Keep making them smaller, it’s good for people’s eyes.

    A somewhat enlarged image can be found at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry. Again, it is a slightly cropped image. A complete click-to-enlarge image can be found here.Fire in a Haystack is shown, with a slightly different coloration image (click-to-enlarge image found here), by its current-location (which purchased it in 1976) page (mouse over image there for interactive enlargement).It is shown and described in a couple pages of an online book preview, starting here, which also shows a later painting, with a similar theme. A 10 page description can be accessed here.It is 2:54 into this video, showing several works by the artist. The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated French Wikipedia page may have more) and collection (more under Subcategories).Second, of the 3 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here (2 total).

    Dang, Steve, why do you make them so tiny?? I like to share them with my friends (with your & the artist’s full credit, & the caption) but do I have to run them thru Photoshop to get larger image w resolution each time? Dude, I’m in your corner! You’re carving a new sub-genre in the world of comics, & I’m going to bat for you, but don’t throw me a water balloon! …. PS Tally Ho, & ~ Rock on ~ !

    The problem is that damp/wet straw gets hot as it dries. I learned that from a cartoon in Boy’s Life magazine, well, a really long time ago. Pedro the Burro was trying to cool himself off with a bunch of wet hay and a fan behind it.
