Deadlock

DON ALHAMBRA: I have arranged that you will reign jointly, so that no question can arise hereafter as to the validity of any of your acts.
MARCO: As one individual?
DON ALHAMBRA: As one individual.
GIUSEPPE: (linking himself with Marco). Like this?
DON ALHAMBRA: Something like that.

It was a year ago that K--- left our company. That was a surprise! But with Chip and she at loggerheads, it was really for the best.

Tonight I worked on this month's design (yeah, a bit late!). I started by downloading a bunch of dingbat fonts, but ended by using none of them. Instead, I drew the graphics by hand in Image Composer. I like how they turned out, but they aren't very seasonal.

On Savoynet, the Gilbert and Sullivan mailing list, they compared the election non-decision to a Gilbertian plotline. It does resemble the Gondoliers, where two men reign jointly because no one knows who is the rightful king.
