"This was the result of the first attempt to create a royal moonchild, two hundred years ago. The baby's body and brain warped under the pressure of the ultradimensional emanation it was made to contain. Nevertheless, this is the rightful heir of the Earl of Strathmore, and our future monarch." -- Sir Miles Delacourt, in The Invisibles 1.11

The British MoonChild.

Echoes TheInvisibles. [Bryant]

Right, Morrison totally tapped into the whole BeastOfGlamis thing. I believe he mentions it by name all the time. [Jere]

Yeah, the King and Queen of America (aka the conjoined hermaphroditic stillborn fetuses in a jar) are a riff on the Beast of Glamis by way of the Moonchild in The Invisibles. And also on the charming freak show and roadside museum tradition of the "pickled punk." Somewhere around New Orleans, Dead Babies became a recurring motif of this game. It wasn't planned. [Rob]
