hat is Ods Bodkins? You might well ask. A bodkin was originally a small, slender
dagger usually hidden amidst the layers of clothing worn during the Elizabethan
period. The word "bod" is speculated to be of Celtic origin; probably from the
archaic Welsh "bidog"...dagger. The "kin" in bodkin is most likely the diminutive
form. Ods bodkins was used as a mild expletive and can be heard sprinkled
liberally throughout the works of Shakespeare; most notably by my favorite character
Sir John Falstaff. Ods bodkins refers to God's little dagger with which He pricked
the unwary. These cartoons, presented here, are my bodkins with which I hope to prick
your unwary sense of humour. Try not to bleed on the mouse. Let me know how I'm doing.
