Things Could Be Worse

xrustysux asked: Apologies for my rather presumptuous inquiry, but does the swashbuckler illustrated in tragedy #329 have a grimacing visage upon his tricorn headpiece, and is the lobe of his ear expanding from its original state?

Indeed sir, his ear was gauged by the natives of a distant and fog shrouded island where he first encountered his mutinous parrot. I commend your adroit powers observation. It is precisely your ilk that I seek to amuse with my efforts and research into the most ragged threads generated by the efforts of those Moirai mentioned in the Theogony of Hesiod.

Now I’m off to collect messages from Morpheus, as my somnolence has begun to get the better of me. I bid you a good night and hearty thanks.
