I guess we would need to re-examine anecdotes about TC that are supposedly reworked for Q unless they also appear in PC. And that image of Tupai Cupa in European dress always makes me think of George Washington canibalistically developed. Thanks much for the comment--I missed it somehow along with several others.Scott Norsworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00458190971293597545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570718375010661810.post-88956666496918999102015-10-30T11:42:31.819-05:002015-10-30T11:42:31.819-05:00Hi Scott,

I wonder if there is enough in PC (is the narrative of Tupai Cupa there, for instance?) to account for HM's borrowings without having him actually consult the original work? <br />I'm not sure why people are excited with the self-portrait (that appears on the cover of NCE2, for instance): HM uses the word "square" half a dozen times in Ch 3 and 4 to describe Q's tats, and "this is not the man."<br />RDMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
