Discussion

This article anticipates where I was going with the comedy police, comedy priest etc. articles. My intention was to gather all of them under a category of comedy authority figures and expand with examples and history. Sadly, after only one minute my projected series of articles was stopped before getting beyond a few stubs. I'm still stinging from this one (but I'll get over it) - I suppose if the resulting article says approximately the same things I was going to say it won't matter if someone else writes it.

Query - what was the practice of the ancient satirists in the use of authority figures? bd2412 T 16:28, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I've taken these suggestions on board and posted the article as a work in progress at: Authority figures in comedy
