Mr Fickle
Who is Mr Fickle?

A man dressed for 1890, appalled by the present day.

A dapper gentleman of indeterminate vintage and unshakeable, hourly-shifting principle. He has opinions about oat milk. He has opinions about those opinions. He would defend any of them to the death, and frequently does, right up until the paragraph is over.

He is not a fool. He is intelligent, well read, rhetorically gifted, and completely unmoored: a defender of permanence and taste who is, in fact, the least stable person in the room. He does not know this. You do. That is roughly where the comedy lives.

He writes essays, comic short stories, and a satirical periodical, The Reversal. His floating apostrophe handles the parts he cannot see.

The Reversal

Firmly held, briefly held convictions, whenever he is certain.
