| Kids! This is how hearing loss worked in the 20th Century. Yank those earbuds and pay attention! |
How best to describe different levels of long-term hearing loss? Why, with the Grim Reaper and his patented three-bladed scythe (precursor to the multiblade disposable shaving razor), of course.
This was for a magazine called Dance Teacher Now (as opposed to Dance Teacher Next Week), which either died or became Dance Teacher Magazine, I'm not sure which.
I'm not sure whether to futz with my fuzzy memory and claim
ownership of this concept (it was looong ago), or whether I was drawing someone else's
fuzzy-headed idea.
Hmm.
I'll take credit for choice of medium, anyway. Though I had finished it out in
Rapidograph technical pen, I must have decided that to really sell this ludicrous idea, it needed the
German expressionism scratchboard treatment.

| Mr. Reaper? Can I call you Grim? Grimster? Yeah, just hold that pose … |
