"The King George was a floating Hapsburg Palace. A few minutes wandering among the ornate chandeliers, Old Testament frescoes and teak wainscoting, I came to a fountain with jet sprays, gurgling water, colored lights, naked Romanesque statues with fig leaves -- it was a wishing pool . I saw pennies on the pool bottom, which I took as a clue being a detective and all. Two thoughts hit me simultaneously: one the whole fountain scam could be a subterfuge to cover up the fact that the ship was taking on water and we were sinking; two, I had to use the loo." - Excerpt more-or-less from my novel Otis Moon by Kevin O'Kendley.
An evil man and a good man may look alike but they are not alike. If I fall from here -- from the hole I'm in -- I’m gonna need to climb a big ladder first.

Kevin O'Kendley is the owner of Carbuncle Moon, and the author of all original material -- cartoons, blogs, shorts, essays, articles -- on the website. All quoted sources are noted. I am responsible for all posts. The only blogs not time-dated are those advertising nonprofits. All nonprofits were vetted, investigated, though the summer of 2018. The vetting lapsed in some cases afterwards or until the last blog on May, 31, 2021.
