Alligators in the Sewer page 2

A comic feturing a snapping turtle, a movie maque showing Alligator the Movie playing, the sculputure of an alligator eating a monybag head cartoon at the 14th street subway station, a baby alligator being flushed down a toliet, a an alligator escaping a circus tent, an alligator hitching a ride on a tugboat, an albino alligator, a mutant alligator, a newspaper article featureing the boys who lassoed an alligator in Harlem, and Mike Miscone declaring Feb 9 Alligator in the Sewer Day.

Mike Miscone, featured at the end of this comic, is a good friend and co-worker of mine. His tenure at the Manhattan Borough historian is over, but he still is an advocate for the true story of the real alligator in our sewer. I also referenced "Alligator" the 1980 film by Lewis Teague, and I know it was based in Chicago, but the myth of alligators in the sewers of any northern cities has at least a little bit to do with that snowy February day. Also if you don't recognize the Tom Otterness sculpture I put a drawing of in this comic, I would recommend heading to the 14th street subway station on the A line. My drawing is of just one of scores of delightful little statues.
