It just me, or is Alonzo Meatman a Trespasser doppleganger for a
certain T.S.? I mean, first mention comes with the disclaimer that
Meatman may not be his real name; later he disappears and reappears
from, of all things, a Harmonica Academy... and then there's that
goony song, bearing no little resemblence to the "Down the toilet..."
ditty that eventually leads to Red River Valley (not to mention the
schoolmaster droning on about toilets) in that Other Book.

Am I alone on this one? A-and not to mention paranoid?
