I prefer Death as described by Terry Pratchett in the Discworld novels. Der Tod Als Erw�rger fits that description very neatly. > Did Alfred Rethel do several versions of "Der Tod als Erw�rger"?

The one you've shown is actually called Der Tod Als Freund. The real Erw�rger is the one netburger calls Freund - http://www.netburger.at/aie/docs/tod/tod_freund/ Anywhere else on the 'net the pictures are titled properly. -- <(oO)> Cthulhu () ASCII ribbon campaign \ \/ \/\/\ \/ \/\/ /||\ Fhtagn! /\ against HTML mail /\/\./\/\/\/\./\/\
