The foolamancer

[Sliver_Slave]

People seem to talk about the foolamancer with some heavyhandedness. Is there something special about him?

Personally, I suspect that he knows something that Stanley doesn't want getting out.

Also he likes to quote King Lear.

Ah, yes. That was funny.

[The Blind]

He's portentous and makes funny faces while tweaking Stanley. I think we can all get behind that.

Also, everyone seems to suspect his mad ramblings could be foreshadowing. "Is Stanley King Lear?"

I also wonder if he is the "good Foolamancer" from Faq mentioned by Jillian - another captured caster, like Wanda.

Pretty deep for a character we've only seen three times as a functioning* individual!

* Not dead, anyway. Who knows how a Foolamancer acts when not crazy?

[The Old Hack]

He has also earned the nickname Pennywise. Apart from that, I admit I love the way he keeps winding Stanley up.

I’m more curious as to why he is so much taller than the average inhabitants of Erfworld. He seems to be Parson sized

Not sure where your getting that from... He was the same size as the other two eyemancers... the only one he seems tall to is Stanely, who is rather short for an erfworlder

Why is it that short megalomaniacs are so funny anyway?

"Nothing to compensate for". By the way, it's historically proved that short leader are more active and determinated, and not less charismatic. Other than Stanley: he is a crap-head.

Short people tend to be somewhat intense anyway. I don't think craziness is a prerequisite for a foolamancer in Erfworld? Remember, Stanley broke the link to retrieve him. Possibly what we see is the aftereffects of breakage, not unlike Wanda?

Yeah. Kinda like that study that got pointed out about shorter folks being more prone to jealousy. Y'know, the one with the Belkar photo?

There is this great moment in the movie "Time Bandits". The protagonists, time-travelling dwarfs (yes) meet Napoleon who immediately takes a liking to them as they are shorter htan him. He gets drunk with them droning on all night about how ALL great people were SHORT. ALL people!
