Thetis Lake Monster Revisited

Posted by: Loren Coleman on October 1st, 2009

The Thetis Lake Monster issue of Junior Skeptic will be published in the next few days.

Editor Daniel Loxton (above) shares the conclusion of his investigation of the British Columbian Lizardman reports. He declares the whole thing groundless. He spoke with eyewitness Russell Van Nice, who told him the pivotal Van Nice/Gold sighting was a hoax.

But the haunting question of the day is, if Loxton reinforces the imagery of the Thetis Lake Monster, a la’ The Creature From The Black Lagoon, within the minds of his youthful readers, well, will he have no one to blame but himself? (That’s an inside joke for anyone that ends up reading his debunking article.)

I do genuinely like the art.

The cover art is by Chris Wisnia and Daniel Loxton.

The Thetis Lake Monster is now part of popular culture, certainly in Japan. An example of the following interpretative figurine, imported by Clawmark, can be seen in the museum. (It is only about two inches tall, btw, thus being a little shorter that the original reports discussed, which we now understand to be imaginative fakery, according to Loxton.)

Ha,ha ! What a great cover! My regards to the artist for the Jack Kirby homage. The Thetis Lake Monster is a wonderful area mythology probably more akin to folklore . The actual monster was short , below 5 feet but seemed vicious nevertheless with it’s pointed spikey head, scales and bulging eyes as recorded by the witnesses. How about a complete comic to show the ” rest of the story” ?

Reminds me of Rana the monster from Volcano lake.

Further more comics(bronze age) in 1972 had cover prices of 15 or 20 cents, 10 cent covers were 40’s and 50’s(golden age) comic prices. 12 cents was the 60’s standard, all so known as the silver age by collectors.

Ha I love this little bit of local folklore and relish in telling out of town guests the story after floating out to the middle of the lake. lol, but as far as I’ve seen the only monsters at Thetis seem to be the teenagers leaving their garbage and empties all over the park.

Like the artwork. Very “Tales From The Crypt”-like.

Personally I believe in the Thetis Lake Monster.

But I was willing to read the article. Pretty good.
