Guitar Gertrude Fang meets a sleazy In-Betweener homo-pure drug pusher
The character Guitar Gertie actually made her first appearance in another story universe where in 2002 -2004 she appears in three drawings.As a teen in the Depression era 1930s,as a up and coming entertainer in a late 1940s railway station platform and as a Wood Guthrie Fundraising concert.Likely active as a professional entertainer in the 1940s and 1950s.
In the original Work she is her teenage self going through End-of-Days life in ancient times.In the derivative SINNER MAN she appears in the same story universe,but set about 2,000 years prior to the timeline of the original Work.
In SINNER MAN Gertrudes parents have separated and her grandmother Grendela Peluda-Barr has applied to Family Court to gain custody of her granddaughter Gertrude.
Gertrude's Music Teacher just happens to be a reincarnated Indigenous female human from the far future.
Gertrude Fang,a feral,stood on all fours outside Madam Peluda's
Cabaret.She had spent her entire young life around the ferals her
mum and
dad hung out with,She'd never realized just how tiny were the
buildings and
entrance ways of the in-betweens. As a feral female,all Gertrude could expect as a adult was to
lay eggs,hunt
and raise dragonets.Her society frowned upon women working in
the big feral decks
of the dragon boats. Not that Frost would have let his daughter join him in the stinking coal dust clogged
and hot steamy bottom feral deck of a dragon boat.
She'd hoped to get a job as a waitress in one of the in�betweens establishments,However that kind of shrinking magic was beyond a
working
poor feral family's financial ability. Rumour had it amongst the girls that if you were willing to
sacrifice
your maidenhood and become a hooker,there were pimps in the in�between red light district who could supply the gold or the magic you needed
to get
into in-between society. Briefly Gertrude considered making that choice,but when a sleazy looking in-betweener approached her,she hastily backed
away,
roaring " No no no" as she charged off in a galloping gait out of the in�between quarters. *********************************************************
