Voyage of the Grotesque |
|
You can have your cards
with mountain views and bathing beauties. What better memento to
send home than some stuffed deformed thing? |
|
 |
Yeah, yeah…the
Normandy Invasion has some historical significance. But more to the
point—it was the birthday of a bull with two noses! Take that,
krauts!

Want a
hairless horse? Price tag: $25K. Read it and weep.
|
|
|
|
He looks kind of peevish. Seems
like his camouflage didn't work as planned.
|
 |
|
|
|
Sometimes the card is not
particularly forthcoming with information about the freak in
question. |
 |
I’m not sure what the
scenario is here, but it’s FREAKISH! |
|
| Ditto. What the HELL is
going on?? Are we supposed to know? |

(1939) |
|
Why stop there?
|
|
|
 |
|
Hey. Paws off. |
|
|
Phenomenon: when the
card labels the subject as a “freak of nature,” this generally
means that its freak factor will be low. |
|
 |
Oh. A tree
grew out of crack in a tower. Oh, wait, FOUR trees grew in
cracks in the tower. The most freakish thing is that the
building inspector continued to be licensed. (1912)
|
|
|
Oh, lightning
struck a tree. FREAKISH! It so seldom does. |
 |
|
 |
So
hideous…eyeballs burning out….
