I did not realize #BernardHeuvelmans was a Kato Kaelin-like figure, living on the estate of his ex-wife’s new husband: Scott Lindbergh (son of Charles)

Excellent article on the #MinnesotaIceMan — perhaps some day my dream of a #IvanTSanderson / #BernardHeuvelmans biopic will come true! #Cryptozoology #Hoaxes

This is very much NOT a #PopCryptid book but one in the vein of #BernardHeuvelmans - so lots of retro 60’s-ish #Cryptids .

And then there’s the monster of Lake Tanganyika…

As for the Hotel Squid, he concludes the missing tentacle must have been lost in a battle. He invented a battle!

These are excerpts from his book, ‘Kraken & The Colossal Octopus’:
