"Published," oh sure, to the canaille -- but if anyone had had privileged
early acesss, surely it would have been the inner -- umm, circle of the
Tetractys :-)

You make a strong case for conscious allusion to 'High Plains Drifter' --
I'd forgotten about the red paint in that.

As for simultaneous midget sheriffs in 1973... hell, that was a year when
you couldn't turn around without tripping over a midget sheriff. We'd like
to welcome you to Munchkinland.
