Clerkmanifestoland announced

  






I continue to work on so many projects that none of them are exactly finished. And a lot of them I'd like to finish, but they're... involved. So while I've been showing you some one-off pictures outside of usual posting times, I don't want to do that here, even if it's a little tempting. 

So instead I will just tell you about one of the biggest projects: Clerkmanifestoland.

It's my theme park!

I thought it would be super nice if clerkmanifesto had a theme park of the multi billion dollar variety, and so I have sort of started developing Clerkmanifestoland. It's always been a idle daydream of mine, but now the photo generators are just (barely) good enough to use to help sketch it out. So here's what I can tell you, as I am mostly holding off on showing the pictures for now.


A. Clerkmanifestoland has five lands in it: 


1. Saint Minneapolis (home of the ride "Voyage to Catcher in the Rye") 

2. Bugheart Sur Mer (home of the ride "Fox and Skunk in Arles")

3. Dreamland Rome (home of the ride "Condeluded")

4. Library Storyland (home of "The Maze of Cataloging")

5. Clerkmanifestoland Wilderness (Home of the ride "Stunt Road Wild Ride")


B. The symbol of Clerkmanifestoland is the bugheart (of course), and the entry plaza has a huge bugheart fountain.


C. The mascots of Clerkmanifestoland are Fox and Skunk (naturally).


D. The Clerkmanifestoland gift shops obviously have all kinds of merchandise, but specialize in tea bowls.



Oh, you want to see a tea bowl?


I don't want to give too much away, but I can show a tea bowl certainly:













You might be thinking: "That's pretty expensive!"



Each one of these is bespoke. 















But don't worry. We have cheaper stuff like this:











"Oh." You say, a little taken aback. "And does this stuff sell?"




Well, these shiny young couples in the land of Bugheart Sur Mer, which has some nice gift shops, seemed to make quite a few purchases:






































My guess is they just got off the charming dark ride "Fox and Skunk in Arles".


But that's a story for another day.


















Addendum:




In case you forget the five lands of Clerkmanifestoland, here's a handy reminder:

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
