The Mothly Crew

The time has come to tell you of the adventures of Minton and his motley family crew.
I suppose I should tell you that I am indeed a fan of his and wear this in his honor.......

Minton started out normally, just like most good little moths..........

He was born into a fairly normal family of like creatures...........

They liked to call themselves "The Mothly Crew"........as you can see they really liked to party......... 

        ........................................the leader of course was Mintons mother, Mable...

She was a closet queen and could spot woolen garments hanging in any closet for miles around.......

Minton also had sisters, Martha, Molly and Marsha, who tended to lead little Minton astray. 
But Minton grew up strong and carried the biggest load in the family, namely the moth balls...........................

They were so family oriented and proud of their heritage that they kept pictures of their ancestors.......

One night, Minton's family decided to investigate the local sweater factory that dear mother Mable had spotted...Oh, they had a good time and the results were celebrated.....................................

Well...celebrated by the Motley Crew of moths, I suppose.  Just about when they were having a
wonderful time....someone spotted a light....was it a flame?..............................................

 

Everyone got excited and gathered around.....................Even long lost cousins and friends...............

Two of Minton's cousin's never recovered from their destructive ways and went on to become the 
dreaded Mothra Twins.............................................................................

Now there is a Moral to this story of the Mothra Family..................................................

“The Moth don't care when he sees The Flame.
He might get burned, but he's in the game.
And once he's in, he can't go back, he'll
Beat his wings 'til he burns them black...
No, The Moth don't care when he sees The Flame. . .
The Moth don't care if The Flame is real,
'Cause Flame and Moth got a sweetheart deal.
And nothing fuels a good flirtation,
Like Need and Anger and Desperation...
No, The Moth don't care if The Flame is real. . . ”
