Description
“I will fly to those royal birds,” he exclaimed, “and they will kill me, because I am so ugly, and dare to approach them; but it does not matter: better be killed by them than pecked by the ducks, beaten by the hens, pushed about by the maiden who feeds the poultry, or starved with hunger in the winter.”

Then he flew to the water, and swam towards the beautiful swans. The moment they espied the stranger, they rushed to meet him with outstretched wings.

“Kill me,” said the poor bird; and he bent his head down to the surface of the water, and awaited death."- Hans Christian Andersen

a later image from the ugly duckling. again, bic crystal balpoint on printer paper. sorry about the perspective and anatomical incorrectness. enjoy!

also, if you are curious, the reason this one looks different from the first one is because i scanned the first one in on color and this on greyscale, and i don't feel like fixing the old one.
