The black robed figure, the scythe, the skull and the skeletal hands … the grim reaper. Except, this one is somewhat smaller and is actually not DEATH HIMSELF but the Death of Rats. It’s the Grim Squeaker, obviously.
For more information please visit any Discworld book featuring DEATH or Susan (any after Reaper Man, that is).
Friday Fun: Iconic.

Yes, DEATH is a wonderful character … thing … anthropomorphic personification! And he likes cats.

A Grim Squeaker … never heard of this series before but must say you’ve got me curious 🙂
This series is obviously an icon to many!

Discworld is wonderful. If you love layers, and references to history, literature through the ages, genres, politics, philosophical concepts … and jokes (even if they look like cheap ones they usually have a deeper meaning). Don’t start with the very first ones (Colour of Magic + Light Fantastic), Pratchett was still practicing. There are quite a few suggestions for reading orders on the net. Or if you want a quick introduction – Good Omens (which Pratchett wrote together with Neil Gaiman) has been made into a six part series, with Michael Sheen and David Tennant. It hasn’t as many layers as the book but it’s a great start into Pratchett’s word (and Gaiman’s) although it is NOT discworld.

… the exact reason I don’t write a book! There is so much good stuff out there but reading time is limited … I could sacrifice sleeping and eating 🙂

Thank you. It was my first attempt at crocheting a figure without pattern. My last as well 😀
