Little person dancing with cat

Monday, April 27, 2009


Lately the headlines have been ridiculously grim, full of disease and economic woe and natural disasters. So, as the sun sets over another tough day, let's enjoy this 1956 photo of Henry Behrens, then the world's smallest man at just 30 inches tall, dancing with his cat. (Image kiped from the Arbroath blog, although I warn you before you click over there that a lot of the images are much less delightful than this one... There are photos of giant tumors, injured animals and other sad and gross things. And there in the middle of it all, the proverbial diamond in the rough: Behrens and his cat. Life's like that, sometimes.)

About This Blog

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
