Grammar Ahab, some stupid grammar humor

"omg ahab! you can't just ask whales if they're white!"

We got it wrong, he's a geek!

Fun little design based on one of my favorite characters from literature. We all need to become a little obsessed and enraged sometimes.

Ishmael enters the Spouter-Inn, meets the proprietor, and discovers that all the rooms are booked. But, he is offered to share a bed with one patron who has not yet returned that evening, a harpooneer who is off “selling his head”. Ishmael agrees, reluctantly, and settles in for the evening. He eats dinner with a taciturn and silent collection of fellow sailors, and then meets a raucous grew returning from a long whaling voyage. Ishmael decides he really can’t deal with sleeping two to a bed, and tells the landlord he will sleep on a bench in the parlor instead. But, the bench proves too uncomfortable, so he is forced to go up to the harpooneer’s room.

"He piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it." - Herman Melville

LGBTQ PATTERN USA CAPTAIN

Women shun me. My crew fears me. The sea beckons me. The whale torments me. From Hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee. Ye damned whale. Check out more of my art and products at https://spacedoglaika.com/

Abstract Painting Moby Dick

mighty moby!

Pequod is a fictional 19th-century Nantucket whaling ship that appears in the 1851 novel Moby-Dick by American author Herman Melville. Pequod and her crew, commanded by Captain Ahab, are central to the story, which, after the initial chapters, takes place almost entirely aboard the ship during a three-year whaling expedition in the Atlantic, Indian and South Pacific oceans. Most of the characters in the novel are part of Pequod's crew. Ishmael, the novel's narrator, encounters the ship after he arrives in Nantucket and learns of three ships that are about to leave on three-year cruises. Tasked by his new friend, the Polynesian harpooner Queequeg (or more precisely, Queequeg's idol-god, Yojo), to make the selection for them both.

With this image, we celebrate Herman Melville, the writer of the classic American novel Moby-Dick.
