Jack and the Bean Stalk

Well the first Giant post was a little too child friendly for me. It made me feel all warm and cuddly.

So I thought, who deserves to get it today?

Answer: Jack!

You know, Jack wasn't just a thickhead (he sold his mum's cow for a couple of beans) he was a recurrent thief and a murderer.

In other words, just a typical everyday fairy tale hero.

Mind you, the Giant's wife was playing up as well.

Can't say I blame her.

While making these images I decided that I like Jack.

He's feeling pretty confident in this shot, running off with the bag o' gold.

Reminds me of:

Jack be nimble,

Jack be quick,
Jack jump over
The candlestick.

Wait till he gets tto the edge of the table and finds out his ladder has vanished ------

It's a big table. He might be a flat Jack when he hits the floor.

Interestingly Wiki tells me Fi fi fo etc is the equivalent of "Oh poo!".

Sort of puts a new light on the evil giant if he goes round saying "Oh poo! What is that smell?'"

I like the traditional version better.

Thankyou for looking again.
Tomorrow for me is blog visiting day. Watch out!
