How the Camel Got his Hump

This is a humorous graphic interpretation of Rudyard Kipling’s How the Camel Got his Hump.  It tells the story of a lazy camel, relaxing in an oasis in the Howling Desert of India.  When Ox and Dog and Horse discovered camel and how he was not helping with the work on the farm, they tried to convince him to join them.  Despite their efforts, camel just said “Humph!”  So the desert Djinn came down and punished the camel by giving him a humph (now pronounced “hump”) from which to live off so he could work for 3 days at a time without taking a break to eat.  Camel to this day remains crabby and uncooperative and embarrassed by his hump.  This is one in a series of four remakes of Rudyard Kipling’s tales.  The other titles are How the Elephant got his Trunk, How the Leopard got his Spots, How the Rhinoceros got his Skin.
