A new record! After about 30 seconds of listening to HMS Pinafore, I’m inspired to write more Men at Arms. Quirke is now an homage to the Captain. God bless you, Gilbert and Sullivan!

And Brenna — the reason your school has been teaching you about Jesus being Don Quixote is because Jesus was Don Quixote. We’re packing Man of La Mancha to the gills with Christian references, even to the point where we have him die, arms splayed out as if he were on a crucifix. And the Aldonza/Mary Magdeline paralells are too amusing not to reference. We actually considered doing a tableau of The Pieta, but we thought that would be going too far. XD
