A Gingerbread Tragedy
This year's gingerbread adventures featured Julius Caesar, Great Caesar's Ghost, Lord Death, Lady Godiva, Lady Gaga, and a dude with a pimp cane.
Yeah, I'm pretty awesome at the zany gingerbread antics. ^__^
Here we have Lady Gaga and the aforementiond pimp cane. Hindsight being what it is, I've also realized that the reindeer shape would have made a respectable (or not) dancer with a little creative icing.
And, lo, does the tragedy begin. Caught in the midst of ogling Lady Godiva, Julius Caesar is slain by a creepy ninja-star-wielding assassin who leapt out from behind a tree. Lord Death hovers over the scene.
"Et tu, Brute?" Poor Caesar, just bleeding out all over the place. (Note: He started as just a random guy in a toga until I decided "He needs a gaping flesh wound!" Thus was the saga born.)
Great Caesar's Ghost ascents to the heavens (or the mother ships) accompanied by a dark angel as his perception of the mortal world distorts and collapses in upon itself. (Jackson Pollack Christmas tree!)
The guy in the upper right was intended to be a surgeon, but that doesn't fit with my narrative and the execution was dubiously successful anyway. It's been pointed out to me that it looks rather like he's wearing a yamulke... which would add an extra bizarre twist to Caesar's death story and afterlife...
