I haven't posted for a while so I feel guilty about leaving the running to Theo. Best solution is to whip up a gratuitously mocking distortature. It's fun, it's easy, and as it happens, the portrait relates to the previous post - so it seems relevant and timely.Of course it's not - I just like mocking prigs. (This wasn't a typo, I really meant prigs - although the other word also fits Professor Robert Manne - not literally you understand.)
Henceforth, I shall call this type of distortature a psychological distortature. It is meant to capture the inner, psychological person, rather than the superficial external appearance.
