After the fun of last year's Christmas strip, I had to do another in a similar vein.
Coming up with rhymes for "non-Euclidean" was interesting. "Viridian" is a shade of bluish-green, specifically that formed as a pigment from chromium oxide. "Ophidian" means "snake-like".
The tune is Irving Berlin's White Christmas, made famous by Bing Crosby's rendition. I took some hideous liberties with the scansion.
Merry Christmas!
I think Bib Fortuna should have a theme song to the tune of Carl Orff's O Fortuna.
Bib Fortuna,
big kahuna
in Jabba's desert palace;
majordomo,
job to promo-
-te an air of evil malice.
With Jabba's chum,
Salacious Crumb,
watched Oola dance on trapdoor;
she once again
yanked Jabba's chain,
so he fed her to the rancor.
