Reflecto Girl #1 now has it’s own page.  We have decided to divide our comic Jasmine into its 3 separate stories so that in future you can go straight to the story (or episode) you want to read.  New paint jobs for some of the early stories are under way but as soon as they’re complete they’ll be posted on their own pages.  Click on the picture if you want to read Reflecto Girl #1.  This is just the beginning 🙂

DAIRY NONSENSICAL

By

click here for 'bones and teef' - picture story about calcium from plant foods

DAIRY NONSENSICAL

The Dairy Council’s working hard to convince us their product is healthy.

They say they they just want to help our kids to be athletic and lively.

But think before you drink, what is their real motivation?

Research. Look stuff up. The truth is a revelation.

****

Cows’ milk contains calcium but not for humans to digest,

So triggers joint pain, arthritis, asthma, problems of the chest,

Sleeplessness, itchy rashes, diabetes, ulcers,

Migraines, ear infections, epileptic seizures.

****

Humans don’t need cows’ milk, the idea is really nonsensical.

There’s plenty of calcium after all in broccoli, collard greens and kale.

It’s the Dairy Council themselves who “milk it for all it’s worth”,

But sensible people shake their heads and pull nutrition direct from the earth.

How time flies

I was just browsing other people’s blogs when I came across this post, titled ‘Napping on a shoulder under a collar’ on Rethinking Life.  It reminded me of the little house marten that my daughter rescued ten years ago because this bird also used to take a nap on her shoulder under her collar.  He/she was a pretty little thing who touched our lives briefly and then flew away.  Here’s a couple of pics of Eve (my daughter) with Minnie (her house marten friend):

Reflecto Girl’s getting a make-over

It hasn’t escaped my notice (since posting instalments of episodes from Jasmine stories) that some of those early stories could do with a new paint job!  So I am having fun painting the old pictures and I will stick them in the comics when they’re fit to be seen 🙂

A satisfying ending

By

back

All this week I’ve been in denial about my dissatisfaction with Where are you going Deidra?  I was so excited about finishing it, and I’d set myself a target of the end of last week, that I didn’t pause to think about whether it really was finished.  I was so focussed on getting across the message about the true cost of dairy farming, that I temporarily lost sight of my primary intention – to provide happy, positive, vegan inspiration for children, not to depress them.  I think it’s ok for me to put more serious, grown up items on the blog occasionally, and I think it’s important to be open and truthful about the harsh realities of animal exploitation.  I’m very glad I posted the heart-breaking story about the dairy cow who made the decision to hide one of her twins in the woods and give the farmer the other, rather than lose both.  Everyone needs to know that.  She deserves to have her story told and I know that it has touched the hearts of everyone who has read it.  The same goes for my poem.  But for the children I want to provide hope, happiness and enjoyment.

Positivity is the way forward and positivity, fun and entertainment is the way we want to encourage veganism at Violet’s Vegan Comics.  We want to give something good to bright, happy, kind, veggie children.  And we want to enlighten the instinctively compassionate little ones who haven’t heard of veganism but who are naturally inclined towards it.  The stories on this website are for all children – even grown up ones – and I hope they will be enjoyed by everyone who reads them.

I therefore decided Where are you going Deidra? wasn’t finished.  It needed a fully rounded happy ending that all children’s stories should have.  So today I’ve finished it.  I’ve worked all day and I’m pleased with it now.

 Have a look at it here

Then I made double chocolate chip cookies (I added some fair trade cocoa to the recipe from Jasmine #3 ) which gave my day a very very satisfying ending indeed 🙂

Like any other mother

img588

I’m tired, my knees ache, I have sore feet,

My belly is heavy with child inside.

Head is aching from the blistering heat,

What’s coming is worse, I’m desperate to hide.

****

Last year I cheerfully bore my first child,

All the discomfort and pain were worth it.

My love for him instant, instinctive, wild,

Overwhelmed me, the light in my heart lit.

****

I washed him and nursed him, my suckling angel,

My purpose in life was now clear to me –

To love him, protect him and teach him well.

Like any other mother I would be.

****

The sun set that day and the bright moon rose,

And we spent a blissful night together.

Brief nirvana before that bitter dose,

When hell swallowed me whole, meat and leather.

****

At dawn I heard their heavy stomping feet,

They approached us as I was feeding him.

Without shame they just pulled him off the teat,

I jumped and bellowed but couldn’t stop them.

****

I suppose I went out that day and grazed,

My anguish unheard, unnoticed even.

Like the others I stood, I laid down, dazed.

Can’t comprehend, can’t believe. I’m broken.

****

Now aching with the weight of my udder,

Infection inflames, I wince when they suck the

Milk from my teats, by machine, I shudder.

Bereft of my child, enslaved non-mother.
