The Rats of Brobdingnag
After their ship was blown off course, Gulliver and his shipmates began to explore an unknown island in search of water and supplies for repair. It wasn't long before Gulliver, having become separated from the rest of the crew, began to feel a gnawing suspicion that this island was inhabited by no ordinary creatures. An island of giants! What adventure! What horrors! What huge rats who would have eaten him alive as he slept had he not the hanger at his side! Oh the lady of the house was distraught as she returned to find her tiny guest in such a state, with one rodent foe vanquished and kicked to the floor while the other fled.
Artist’s Note
I really do love rats and I apologize to rat lovers everywhere for this gruesome scene. I promise you, no rodents were harmed in the creation of this painting. But there was no way I was drawing a giant man with a zillion tiny people. That scene has been done to death. A dashing little Gulliver fighting two fearsome rodents on a bedspread was just too good an image to pass up!
