The Talented
Benjamin Alligator

Benjamin's wit and wile frequently find their expression in his daring recitals of Willyam Shakepeare's soliliquies, and his aromatic readings of modern poets and dramatists titilate even the dourest of sodden sockles.

His skills as a thespian have garnered considerable praise even in the big cities, where even the staunchest critics of his reptilian demeanor have been humbled to praise by his tour-de-force recitations of comedy and tragedy from the classical and modern cannons.

Benjamin's exploits were first published in the March 2006 issue of the Ellensburg Comix Page and has made occasional appearances ever since, most recently in the second issue of Enthusiast.

Benjmain Alligator is an entertainer of the highest consideration. His diverse proficiencies in the occupations of music performance are unrivaled. Reputable promoters have compared his astounding operatic presentations to those of the Great Caruso. Modern masters of the acoustic and percussive instruments are dazzled by his superlative skills on instruments such as the cornet, violin, and piano-forte.

The Talented Benjamin is beloved among the people of the country for his renditions of many popluar "rags" and "jass" blues tunes. His soulful bellows and sobs ring like bells through the rural roads and blacker alleys of the modern cities. Known to carry the five-stringed banjo at his side, he is by no means limited to this crude tool of pluckery. The jazz clarinet, the fiddle, the trumpet, the honky-tonk piano, the ukelele, the slide-horn; all are implements of this performer's sweet and sorrowful reveries.
