Update: B'Yo! pointed out that "Q" could also be for Quaker, or for quacker (quack quack quack).
Or I could have had Q stand for "Quelle," and left the picture blank (or perhaps just muddy). I'm still self-amused by my singing "tryin' hard to recreate what had yet to be created" in class in response to this book.
Who knew that "Q" would be such a popular letter? Well, not in Denmark: according to Wikipedia, they "abolished the letter in 1872, although it's still part of the alphabet." If it's still part of the alphabet, then it sounds as if they didn't really abolish it - unless you're talking about some sort of Hegelian Aufhebung, which would surprise me since it happened after Kierkegaard.
What were we talking about again?

What sort of picture would have illustrated "Quaker" - Scot as PlainMan? (Quacker would have been good if I'd thought of it)
