A

n angry raccoon was reported this week on Harbor Way. Reader Manfred Rott reports the potentially rabid beast has since been sent to meet its maker.

This got artist Laura Turgeon thinking… how do you identify a rabid raccoon? This drawing is the result. Laura calls it “Rabbit Raccoon”. Ears may be a subtle hint. (Not to be used for diagnostic or navigational purposes.)

Laura Turgeon and her husband Gil Fontes live in Oriental. When they are not out looking at boats Laura and Gil are often seen with drawing instruments or paint brushes in hand. More of Laura's work can be found at her site LauraTurgeon.com.
