Important reminder:

Experiencing joy is essential for health and life!*

*in case of depleted/scrace sources of happiness:

Silliness is always a good source of joy. Use this as first-choice.

In case of utter emergency, some forms of benevolent sarcasm can still serve as a helpful source of joy if other sources are not reachable during peaking times of the big sad. But use it considerately.

"YOUTH FOUND GUILTY HAVING STOLEN CART," Victoria Daily Times. December 23, 1913. Page 20. --- Evidence Given in Support of Charge is Quite Clear in Spite of His Denial ---- This morning Herbert Scarce was declared by Magistrate Jay to be guilty of being in possession of a wood cart belonging to Sohan Singh, which he knew to be stolen, and he will be sentenced on this charge to-morrow. The evidence connecting him with the case was very clear, but in spite of this he went in the witness box, and denied the whole of the circumstances, persisting in his denial, although he was given every chance to tell the truth.

Scarce, who had been in the middle of his own story when the case was adjourned on Saturday, was again put in the box by Mr. Lowe, He stated that his first horse he bought from a white man on Old Esquimalt road, and the express wagon from a Chinese. He had been working at the market, but found it did not pay, and decided to go into the wood business. On Tuesday last he left home with the old horse and wagon with the intention of getting a heavier horse and a wood wagon. At the top of Hillside avenue a Hindu and a white man were standing beside a horse in a field. To the white man he sold the horse for $35, and left his wagon there in the field.

From there he went out towards Tolmie road, and after hunting for a horse elsewhere he met, near where he left the wagon, a Hindu with a horse. He purchased this animal for $39 odd, all the meney he had with him. He took the horse back to where he had left the wagon and hitched up. With the Hindu he went back to the latter's barn and exchanged his express wagon for a wood cart. With this outfit he began on Wednesday to haul wood.

Chief Langley, who was conducting the prosecution, warned the young fellow of the penalty of committing perjury, but the witness stuck to his story, and denied that he had made any exchange of horses near the University school or that he had been near that spot for three weeks.

Scarce informed his counsel that a Hindu who had been in court on a charge of drunkenness, was the man with whom he had made the exchange of the wagon.

Esa Singh was brought in from the celis, and stated that early this morning the young fellow had accused him of stealing his wagon. Esa denied categorically that he had ever done anything of the kind, that he had ever seen the accused before, that there were any wagons or carts about the house where he lived, that there was any barn attached to the house, or that any of the dozen Hindus living there drove wood carts.

William McCully was called by the prosecution in rebuttal, and retold how he had seen Scrace exchange his old bay horse for a black horse in a field on the Lansdowne subdivision. He positively identified Scrace, who had driven towards him full face to within a distance of seventy feet.

Rev. E. G. Miller gave character evidence. He said he had never had occasion at any time to accuse him of doing anything wrong.

Magistrate Jay expressed his conviction that the accused was guilty of the offence of retaining possession of Sohan Singh's wood cart, knowing it to have been stolen, and reserved sentence. On the charge of retaining a horse, the property of the University school, Scrace stands committed for trial. There is a third charge of being in possession of a set of harness, which may or may not be proceeded with.

The third and final installment in David Larkin’s series fantasy field guides after Gnomes and Faeries is Giants (1979), which features art from Julek Heller, Carolyn Scrace and Juan Wijngaard. Larkin gets credit here for “devising” the book, while Sarah Teale gets credit for the text. I am not sure how that breaks down in practice, but it sure feels like Larkin had the most to do with the direction of this book.

Faeries is really the solid gold hit of the series, endlessly fascinating, extremely varied. Gnomes feels expressly designed to capitalize on eddies of folkiness in 70s pop culture. Compared to them, Giants feels a bit one note and a bit in search of a vibe. When it boils down, it is essentially a book about very large people. It often plays to that core truth effectively, but it never feels so singular as the other two books, if that makes sense.

Partly that might just be that there are too many folks involved. Where Gnomes is one artistic vision and Faeries and elegant duet, the trio here never quite finds its harmonies. All three deliver stellar work, but rarely does that work collaborate with its neighbors in the way Lee and Froud play off each other. Giants are hard, too, because without markers for scale, they just look like people doing stuff, but if every painting has markers for scale, it gets repetitive. Both of these pitfalls are on view here. One can’t help but wonder why they didn’t do dragons instead.

Which isn’t to say this book isn’t worth getting! It totally is. Put it right on the shelf with the other two, your other Alan Lee books and your copies of the Time Life Enchanted World series. It is certainly a key part of the fantasy art renaissance of the 70s and 80s. Sure, it doesn’t measure up to Faeries. But where else are you going to find a whole book on Giants? They just don’t make ‘em like this any more. (OK, not entirely true — Johan Egerkrans is bringing this sort of thing back with his books Vaesen, Norse Gods and The Undead — thank goodness!).

Origins of Giants

During my travels and study of homo gigantus, there is one question that is often asked to me, which is as follows.

Where do giants come from?

The short answer is: we don't know. Unfortunately, giants pre-date humanity, which makes it difficult for even the most astute historians to dig up records. Even their fossils are hard to come by, due to the prehistoric giant's liking for ritual cremation rather than burial. Much to the chagrin of macroanthropologists, who are unable to ascertain when these creatures evolved, or what from. One may perhaps find a tooth, if the conditions are just right, or a few bone fragments that tell practically nothing about the specimen.

One source of information, however, is carvings. Early giant would often leave etchings of themselves on rocks, the trenches deep enough to withstand a million years of weather. This, coupled with word of mouth, gives us only a slight peek into life before humanity, but it is a peek nonetheless.

Giants themselves are forthcoming with information as to their origin, though it draws more on myth than a scientist like myself would care for. They tell of the giant Ymir, how his body made up the world with his skull for the sky, his brains for the clouds, and his blood for the seas. Some state that their kind, Ymir included, were created from vast blocks of ice melting at the beginning of time. Others tell of Earth piling the strongest rocks when the world was new, a flaming crucible for the titans to be birthed from rubble. Both these stories conjure images of might, as that is a giant's greatest asset. Of course, only a few really believe the legends, mainly those giants who still adhere to the ways of old.

This lack of understanding about just where these creatures originate only adds to the enigma that makes them so fascinating to study.

One thing, however, is for certain. That the sheer size and strength inherent in giants is one of evolution's greatest products.
