(no subject)

At the grocery store deli counter today, I found myself musing, as I often do (really!) that it would be possible to make a manga with characters named after various types of exotic cold cuts.

Can't you just see it? The antagonist would be the fearsome and mysterious Dr. Mortadella and his dangerously seductive assistant, Galantina, while the hero, Capocollo, would be torn between the glamorous and beautiful Lady Bianca d'Oro and the spunky yet charming Sopressata. The roles of the Short Wacky Sidekicks would be filled admirably by Prosciutto Piccolo and Ham Cappy. Various mentors, allies, and rivals would be Pancetta, Basturma, Coppa, Csabai, and Krakauer, not to mention the Wurst brothers Bierwurst, Gelbwurst, Jagdwurst, Plockwurst, Schinkenwurst, and their sister Teawurst.

I think I've hit on a winner here.
