After all that happened, it was the beginning. There wasn’t much to begin with. Arthur had to start somewhere and so he took the things that were nearby and tried to make a go of it from that. Arthur needed to make the theater but with everything falling apart the way it had, he only had old boxes and scraps of cloth. Just garbage mostly. Garbage is all there was then. Everything was garbage. But that made it so that nothing was garbage and everything became valuable again. It wasn’t the worst situation in some ways. This was all before Duke had a body. He might have had his self already, but he definitely did not have a body yet. The parts Arthur used to to create Duke’s body existed but they weren’t in the shape of Duke just yet.
Do you think you’re old enough to see photos of the puppet theater without complaining that they give you nightmares or that they have traumatized you in some way?
Yes, Scott, I promise I’m old enough to see the puppet theater.
No, Scott, I’m not old enough for that.
