Now I know the name of the bounty hunter: Othneil “Chuck” Marsh. :-)

Great sequel Rorschach!

Out of curiosity, I looked up Othneil Marsh. There’s a wikipedia picture of him and his fellow paleontologists. They’re all a surly looking lot and armed to the teeth.

small niggle: the sentece “One pair belonged to a severely drunken man who thought the man was a lamp.” threw me a bit. maybe you should have written “One pair belonged to a severely drunken man who thought the hunter was a lamp.”

Here’s a great picture about Edward Drinker Cope:

A great picture to go with this storyline.

Thanks, guys!

@Pyropunk – Fixed it. Had to do a little bit of trimming for space, but I managed the repair.

@Hillbilly – That picture is awesome. Thanks for writing such a stupendous starter!

@JHReiher – I keep getting an Error 403 when I try to view the picture. I also really liked the nickname you gave Marsh. Brilliant!

I can’t take credit for the starter, I actually sequeled Reiher. He’s the dinosaur Cowboy genius.

Oops! I FAIL! Please forgive my error, Mr. Reiher, for giving the incorrect credit to this awesome starter.

Hey Rorschach, no problems, I know that this is a great starter as well.

As for the image, I don’t know why you got a 404 error, try this link:

It’s the cover to a comic called, “Bones, Sharps, and Thunder Lizards” It looks like it’s about O.C. Marsh and Ed “Drinker” Cope and their Bone Wars.

I gotta look it up now.

Hey I’m hooked. Is there a series. Well written and paced.

Loving the allegory! If only there were more stories on ficly with underlying themes.
