Caught in the Mammoth Nets by

“And as for those who, previously hearing of the Woolly Mammoth, by chance caught sight of him; in the beginning of the thing they had every one of them, almost, as boldly and fearlessly lowered for him, as for any other Mammoth of that species. But at length, such calamities did ensue in these assaults – not restricted to sprained wrists and ankles, broken limbs, or devouring amputations – but fatal to the last degree of fatality; those repeated disastrous repulses, all accumulating and piling their terrors upon Stampy Rick; those things had gone far to shake the fortitude of many brave hunters, to whom the story of the Woolly Mammoth had eventually come.”

A drawing based on a tenuous Twitter joke (by @sighdone) about mammoths being hunted to extinction by fleets of ships with nets and harpoons.
In black ball point pen. 60+ hours.
