Not a dream! Not a hoax! Not an imaginary tale! No, it’s the first-ever Vincent Macropod crossover event! Two universes will clash, and one will emerge intact! Also, so will the other one! Erm.

“But Reverend,” you say, “who is this shadowy figure, this challenger from out of nowhere, this Gore Sword?” Plebeian. The Gore Sword is a cartoon drawn by super-awesome comedy legend Patton Oswalt, from back when he was a kid, to work out his undirected youthful aggressions. Then, much later, he posted it on his website. Then, later, he took it down, or so it appears. (What are you afraid of, Patton Oswalt? Falling off a tall building? Yeah, me too.)

“Wow,” you continue, “you know Patton Oswalt?” Uhhh, no. No, I just saw the cartoon, and, you know, appropriated it. I can do that, I’m told, because it’s satire.

Still, I hope Mr. Oswalt doesn’t get mad.
