Description
Well, as I've mentioned before, Teeg is my favorite miscreant in the Criminalverse, and here he is in a reflective moment. We read about a devastating childhood trauma he weathered in the captions, and understand a little better what formed him. Teeg is presented more and more as a sympathetic character as the series goes on, despite his brutal nature and the prodigious number of corpses left in his wake.

Another tip of the hat to Sean and Mark for taking good care of me, and thanks to you for taking a look!

Goodbye Papa, please pray for Teeg
Teeg was the black sheep of his family
You tried to teach me mom was wrong
Too much wine and Christmas song
Wonder how he got along
Goodbye Papa it's hard edge lines
When all Ed's words are wringing in the crime
What Phillips brings is atmosphere
Baby Jesus everywhere
When you see him, Teeg'll be feared

Teeg had joy, Teeg had fun
Teeg had reasons for the guns
But the wine made it wrong
He knows Jesus is now gone
Teeg had joy, Teeg had fun
Teeg had reasons for the gun
Mom had wine made it wrong
Now all reasons have him gone

Teeg'll be feared!  Dynamite lyrics, as always, Marcus.  I recognized the source material and heard the strains in my head without having to visit Utube, but thanks for the link in any case!

"And Teeg never forgot that": the genesis of a brute. Impressive portrait and script. Great page!

Well let me just quote the late-great Colonel Sanders, who said..."I'm too drunk to taste this chicken."

Teeg is essentially this series' equivalent to every "family" member in every mob related film in existence. He's the brutal and ruthless antagonist, but ultimately romanticized so the reader ends up sympathizing with him, perhaps cheering him on and hoping he survives, despite his horrible nature. Gorgeous plash page!

Beautiful page. I can't recall if I saw this one at como but i saw the rest of the pages. Its a great story and as Sean called it Teeg's origin story!. Congrats on such a cool page.

Just oozes atmosphere.  The shade and miminal lighting work to max effect here - much easier said than done to do!  Congrats!
