Imaginary Cartoons, by Miestrâ: an occasional series

[Miestrâ Schivâ, UrN]

An ostrich with a crown on its rump, labeled "el Regeu", puts its head in the sand, faced with a package labelled "Wittenberg Nationalisation".

"Imaginary"

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

Oh, it's an idea for a cartoon? Maybe someone will take her up on it. If there is another cartoonist out there, of any party or agenda, I would absolutely love to have them contribute to Beric'ht Talossan.

[Miestrâ Schivâ, UrN]

You might not know this, Sir Alex, but such "imaginary cartoons" have been a feature of Talossa for a while. I think Ceváglh Scurzniôl invented the genre and was a regular contributor of them to the Republic, and possibly in the KR1-era Kingdom, I don't know.

Jay never found an artist, so I don't rate my chances highly. I might try a photomontage via GIMP approach some other time (or ask va uschôr???)

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

No, I'd never heard of that. How charming!

Yes, if you do decide to try putting them together regularly, I'd love to publish them.

I think it might be an internal error Alex

[E.S. Bornatfiglheu]

Now... why a crown on its butt? Isn't the conceit that the crown is doing nothing? Shouldn't it be in the ground as well?

[Miestrâ Schivâ, UrN]

No, no, a crown on its RUMP. Geddit?

[E.S. Bornatfiglheu]

Ah!

[E.S. Bornatfiglheu]

Though he can't be completely oblivious to Talossan matters. I mean, he moved quickly to stop the menace of me requesting arms from the CoA. See? The Monarchy works!

[Miestrâ Schivâ, UrN]

To be fair, I don't think the King is out to get you. It's just that the only people he listens to are his old friends of the RUMP and they are to get you.

In the interest of full disclosure, I say that I am the one who asked the King whether to do the Arms request or not (having previously asked Txec, who wasn't sure either), because we didn't know how to proceed, what with the civic disability thing.

This was before I knew about the ownership issue, and it may be that the Witt-ownership issue is a more time-consuming thing, and the King is busy with "real life" stuff. It is Christmastime, after all.

And as far as I'm aware, there is no vast right-wing conspiracy against S:r Börnatfiglheu. His punishment has been handed down by the Corts, and he's serving it, and that's the end of it.

Do you really think the RUMP is that petty?

I don't believe it has anything to do with civic disability. I was concerned with the pending nature of the appeal in his criminal trial. If the UC were to reverse my ruling in that matter, ESB could once again potentially not be a citizen. Once that issue is finally resolved, I would then feel comfortable in moving forward by asking the Blanc Wolf Herald (His Majesty) to reverse his decision. The King never asked me, the Dean of the College aka The Kingsbridge Pursuivant, my opinion and I only spoke briefly with The Odd Fellow (Sir Iusti) when the issue came up.
