Swampy nabs a Large Famous Mister Fish sandwich in Lakeland. Mr. Fish has been around Lakeland since 1968. A second generation keeps this popular local spot thriving.The small shop is just off Lake Morton by the Lakeland Library.
Here is a painting nearly finished worked on during the Art Walk at Julianne’s Coastal Cottage in Mt. Dora.
Coming Sunday is the second installment of the New Swampy’s Florida webcomic. Here’s a clip of the art for Sunday. Want to guess what it will be about?
Notice the cut trees loaded on the flats. This is a train owned by the Crummer Cypress Company bringing the dead wood into Lacoochee, in Pasco County, to be sliced and diced for shipment. It seems this is a load of cypress being brought in from way south of Lacoochee in the Big Cypress Swamp in the 1950s.
