freaks

in my teenage, i read a graphic novel named 'the big book of freaks', which really pushed my reading habits into consuming all the bizarre events, entities and occurrences that i could get my grubby little hands on. the lives of these people, whether disabled by nature or themselves, was actually the enabling characteristic in their lives. i would actually recommend you procure the whole series of these books, dear reader, from the big book of conspiracies to the big book of death - you can thank me later. carl unthang, born armless, could play the violin with his feet, much like el greco's astigmatism shaped his art. without lead poisoning, goya would probably continued to produce portraits for the wealthy, just a substance addiction might lead someone into being a sideshow geek. please enjoy:
