GRIMES: "Always intended, from the beginning, as a sequel of sorts... Hive Baby himself is its implied narrator.
Both one-pagers, appearing now at http://www.antiquechildren.com are intended more as windows on mere sprogs in the given water pot of their world, rather than 'frontal assaults', (as with the enfant terrible recalled below, from Lampoon's pages).
Tho their water may seem to come to a boil at times, they themselves may be too busy coping to notice any change in its temperature. But, they're a perseverant lot."
