Michael Jamison feeds his pet Bengal tiger Enzo at home in Brakpan, South Africa. One-year-old, 150kg, Enzo lives with Michael and his girlfriend Jackie, and one glance at the scratched and chewed furniture is enough to reveal that the couple’s cat is no ordinary one.

In the 19th Century having a photograph taken was a lengthy process. Frustrated by the difficulties of getting children to sit still long enough to snap a proper photo , photographers in the 1800’s conceived of a technique called “The Hidden Mother”. Draping a sheet over the mothers head in an attempt to camouflage her as a part of the furniture to better emphasize the child, the mother was then able to hold her infant and keep them still long enough for the camera to get an exposure. Vintage photographs already have a eerie feel to them, but these images of moms as cloaked phantoms take the creep factor to the next level.

“Ward’s approach to the production of the Adventure Time licensed comic is, in many ways, characteristic of Cartoon Network’s approach to some of its most critically acclaimed and highest rated shows. “Pen’s been really open to our getting creative with the comic, which is a rare thing in licensed comics,” notes Boom! lead Adventure Time editor Shannon Watters. ‘This has allowed us to take the project to interesting places that we’ve never really been able to go with any of our other licensed books.’”
