On Easter Island, Sprague de Camp, the cdebrated author, then in his late 80s, clambered into narrow caves to study petroglyphs and walked briskly for many miles to view the large stone statues, while his big, strong young bodyguard, having eaten and drunk to excess, spent all afternoon resting in bed. Dirty Dick Burton's Aide de Camp, 2002, depicts a primate--the common langoor (Presbytis entellus)--standing in an abandoned nineteenth-century-style camp (somewhere in the "Orient") clutching a hookah, the "Dick" Burton referenced actually Sir Richard Burton, a "gentleman-naturalist" who once invited forty monkeys to his dinner table so he could learn their language. Arvis Owens, aide de camp, Naval Inventory Control Point. |
