Boomer Flats

They lay down in the red roaring river, and one of the giants set a heavy rock on the breast of every person of them to hold them down.
‐ R. A. Lafferty, "Boomer Flats"

An illustration for R.A. Lafferty's climax to the short story Boomer Flats. Originally intended to accompany a particular essay in Feast of Laughter.

I decided while sketching this out that I would try to draw characters that reoccur in the stories, like the various members of the Institute of Impure Science, as consistently as possible across illustrations.

I don't plan on overtly identifying who is who, but over time I suspect people will be able to put faces to names.
