WARNING: THIS IS A LINK-POST! WARNING: THIS IS A LINK-POST! WARNING: THIS IS A LINK-POST!

One of the things I’ve missed most about the demise of the Active Rain blogging entity “The Codgers,” was the frequent trips to the “Codger-Lodge,” and excursions aboard the “Pegasus II.” So today you may have noticed the old Pegasus II resurrected for one last time with her full compliment of “Codgers,” including the late “Harold Peterson.” She won’t appear again on this page, or any other page—except in my AR archived posts.

By popular request—Boomer & I will begin a new fictional series within the pages of “Our Saint Paul.” It will take place in a small (so far unnamed) village, on the North shore of a very large (also not yet named) freshwater lake—obviously derived from our own Lake Superior.

So now I am beginning the process of set-design—drawing a grip of new buildings and characters. My Gentle Readers have overwhelmed me with delightful names for these folks—now to give them personalities & occupations.

The first new graphic is of the “MV (Motor Vessel) Sparrow,” (more)

At least this one is not quite so blatant...

LOL. What a great idea Jay. I'll be tuning in! -Charles

heeezz baaaacck!!!

Welcome back Molly and Trigg. I'm looking forward to the new adventure.

Charles(?) or Jacqulyn(?): Forgive me, I'm on the borders of ancient, and am easily confused (heh-heh) Welcome along for the ride!

Bob: Back as soon as the complicated set design (graphics) are completed. This mya take a while.

Lenn: I guess I'm an author of sorts (or simply writing down my delusions), but of all the completely fictional characters of the Codgers, I liked Molly & Trigg the best! Molly will be the lead character, and Trigg, now retired, has moved to our little lakeside village.

Watching QQ

Peep: Figgered you would be...you see all.

I like the Sparrow.. she looks like a great place for a summer cruise..

Kaye: On of the challenges for me is to draw interior graphics--and the boat's main cabin (where the festivities occur) will be the first.

Jay, looks like that voice that you thought you had lost has been found again. It is nice to see you hitting full stride again.

George: Step-half step-clop(cane)-repeat. I'll get there, sooner or later.

Jay

I want a ride, please please please......can I, please!!!!

Ines: Suuuure you can--just need a caricature to represent you.

The bar must be kitty corner to the church or at least less than a block away. It's ordained in all small towns that confession is close at hand to the sin center of the city! Of course, that might not be the bar! Can't wait to watch the story unfold. (Duplicate comment for points! I can play this game, too, Jay!)

Bonnie: THIS village may be small enough so that nothing is more than a block from anything.

Hey, comment here, comment there...next, a part comment here with a link to there for the rest!

Jay - I have to confess that I draw buildings not people...my people look very architectural - with that in mind....please don't laugh at my rough sketch of myself.
