White Grub Thing # 7 (illustrated by Lars Brown)

While trying to avoid The Black Guard and the Cuckoo’s minions, Barbie and her friends discover the body of Tantoblin.

She recounts to her friends how she first met the Tantoblin.

Barbie and Martin Tenbones were on their way to the Arch Of The Porpentine when they were attacked by these White Grub Things. Barbie described them as Fat Children.

These White Grub Things appear in Sandman # 35, on page 5, in panel 1.

This has to be one of my favorite portraits from Lars. I love the shape of the White Grub Thing and the weight of the lines creating the character. The little details on the body of the character. I also really like how he’s holding the knife. The way he’s holding it is both comical and frightening and that contrast is pretty awesome.
