Mantis Bob

Mantis Bob

The Bob Mantis is an awful beast. It selects its victims, much like a female mantis choosing a partner. It promises a life of bliss, freedom and prosperity, then promptly chomps off the head of its new mate. The screams of the victims go unanswered by the world, which answers. “Yes, it is horrible, but that’s nature, what can you do?”

Mantis Bob belongs to the following groups:

Character Development, Humorous Illustrations ( NO PHOTOGRAPHY ) , Pencil Drawing (2 per 24 hrs), Practising the Dark Arts and South Africa - Rainbow Nation Available for sale as

    another delightful artwork and I do love your descriptions Tom. They add so much. I totally concur with you (she shrugs) and we must have been tuning in to the same muse a touch tonight – I too have been pondering slaughter in the garden. LOL.

    Off with their heads!!! I do like your description but couldn’t help replacing Bob with our Government; they don’t hear our screams and bite your head off if you complain. What a wonderfully creative imagination you have master Tom.
