Roy Sullivan, a U.S. park ranger at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, was hit by lightning on seven different occasions between 1942 and 1977. He survived all of them. Roy was included in the Guinness World Records as the person struck by lightning more times than any other human being.

In 1983, Roy died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound over an unrequited love. He was 71.

14. the exorcist in six frames

JacketFlap tags: movie, comic, josh pincus, from my sketchbook, Strip comic, Add a tag

There is a website based in the United Kingdom called Little White Lies. They are running a contest in conjunction with the release of a movie called "Kick-Ass" that is being released later this year. The contest is very simple. They’re asking to take any film and re-imagine it in the form of a comic, within a designated six-frame panel.

Here's my second entry. It's my version of "The Exorcist" —

How could you do something like this, build up a little boy's hopes and then smash all his dreams to pieces? You're an inhuman monster!

husbands and wives and little children lost their lives/it was sad when the great ship went down

"Iceberg right ahead!"

Those famous words were spoken by lookout Frederick Fleet aboard the the RMS Titanic on April 14, 1912. Just after seven bells, Fleet saw a black mass in the ocean ahead. He immediately struck three bells and telephoned the bridge. His report received the standard "Thank you" reply. While still on the telephone, the ship started swinging to port. The starboard side of the ship scraped alongside the iceberg and ice fell on the decks.

As instructed in such emergency, Fleet began his second duty as lifeboat operator. He assisted in loading some 28 women and children and the boat was lowered to the water. In the morning, his lifeboat was picked up by the Carpathia.

In the aftermath of the Titanic disaster, Fleet served briefly as seaman on another ocean liner. Later, Fleet sailed with various companies, finishing with the sea in 1936. He worked as a shipbuilder, and as he grew older, he sold newspapers on a street corner in Southampton, England.

A few days after Christmas 1964, Fleet's wife died. Filled with a lifetime of guilt from his survival and now distraught over wife's death, Fleet hanged himself in January 1965. He was the last victim of the Titanic.
