The Passion of the Urbie

[drwatson]

The post I am responding to is the earliest known representation of Holy Father Urban Casavant At Home (known to the faithful as HFUC AH). Like all great art, this original speaks to us all, across the ages, with its simplicity and timeless truth. And like many great icons, there have been subsequent imitations of the original, many versions of HFUC AH, with varying degrees of success.

Let’s review some of them here. If you find one of these, or something that looks like one, in your attic, please take it to your local authorized Casavant Diamonds retailer to have it professionally valued. Some of these beauties have very high valuations, sometimes even parallel valuations in the trillions of dollars! (Authorized Casavant Diamonds retailers are the only ones qualified to value these artifacts, and are prepared to offer very large quantities of CMKX stock in exchange for your HFUC AH images.)

Here’s an early HFUC AH. Note the mixed case text – like the better comics, most HFUC AH’s are all upper case – and a reference to GLUV Corp’s mangled series of splits and reverse splits, a brief and now-forgotten knee-slapping footnote in financial history.
