More than likely they’ll find his mummy.

He probably got the reputation because of his scoliosis. Peeps weren’t terrifically tolerant of the differently baled in those days

Know thy patrons, know thyself.

Cartoonistic license.

Hamlet holding Yorick’s skull and saying the line is one of the most recognizable images from any Shakespeare play (rivaled only perhaps by Romeo and Juliet and a balcony), and it’s singularly appropriate for the topic. So lighten up (“Cast thy nighted color off”). The play (of images) is the thing, and the King is a thing…of nothing.

Radish: “I thought Stahler might have used a horse skull in the cartoon.”

Thus establishing Camilla as the rightful heir?
