In the workhouse
Escaped convict come
Nefarious lawyer
Hid in the thick fog
To accost the author in London
... another escaped convict!
Today is a Dickens theme with cartoonist Tom Gauld's "Dickensian Alphabet." Supposedly, if you spell your name out with this "alphabet," it sounds like the outline for a story. If I take my username and spell it with the aforementioned alphabet, it gives me:

This gives me vibes like... Great Gatsby, or Great Expectations. What do you think?
Traveling from London, the author hoped to escape the seemingly perpetual, thick fog of the metropolis.
By the time he reached his original "home" a gothic manor in the north of England, long repurposed as an orphanage, the sky was clear, but his mood had darkened because of the dismal memories of his youth.

Cartoonist Tom Gauld's "A Dickensian Alphabet" is fun to read (he's always a hoot) but even better if you spell out your name to create the sketch of a story. Share your name or nickname or social media moniker, with Gauld's alphabet. Chances are, it will be the outline of a Dickensian story. Twee
