I’ve been poor about it in the past with my holiday pics since I considered a lot of them to be ‘a picture and saying what’s in the picture’ anyway, but did them for my latest trip and actually had a think about what’s *not* in the post text.

They definitely slowed down a *lot* a few years back, and some authors have exited the publisher (Sheckley, Ellison and Lieber being some where I wish I’d grabbed certain books before that happened).

Other recorded remarks of Vespasian show the same sense of humour (such as thanking his son for not overthrowing him whilst temporarily administering Rome in his stead).

Given how common pennames are for Japanese creators, using one was most likely an unrelated decision (though I didn’t think you were implying that).
Incidentally, I just finished Ryuunosuke Akutagawa’s In Dreams, a collection of his very short pieces (marked as fiction though mostly not really).

The lightest one is Witchtecher — tastes like sage bratwurst, but Google thinks I’m asking about The Witcher when I try to look up details.

The pinkish one is called Luxringer and is like a spicy bratwurst. Used to be called Thuringer but this conflicted with protected geographical indication rules about Germany’s version of Thuringer.
