Cardinal Caption – His Dubious Eminence
I was first introduced to “Cardinal” Jinky Caption (not pictured) by that piece of priest Guillermo Gomez on a sultry summer morning. Gomez and I were strolling along the tree-lined avenue that runs between the Halpert Estate and Manticore Acres when we saw a heap of red rags in the ditch. I was ready to walk on, but Guillermo had stopped and appeared intrigued. Not one to discourage the spirit of investigation I stood by to let things play out.
After just an hour of prodding and cajoling Triple G had roused the pile of rags to its feet and we were able to determine that it was a man.
Once we had broken most of the dried clay from his face Guillermo recognized his old friend and mentor – Jinky. I was naturally delighted to finally meet this man, of whom I had heard so much.
Jinky told us that he was returning from an ill-advised pilgrimage to Wax Henge. Sadly, he arrived at a little after noon on the hottest day of the year and was only able to splash around in the pool of molten history.
His long journey back home had been thwarted by no less than 37 separate muggings. Hence his beaten and sad appearance.
Fortunately we had been escorted on our stroll by six members of the household staff. These loyal retainers fashioned a rudimentary sedan chair from fallen branches and carried Caption back to the compound in honor.

Putting The Caption Record Straight
Despite the copious amounts of evidence presented by Maude Caption, Jinky still denies that they were ever married.
Despite the copious lack of evidence, Jinky still claims to be “A Cardinal of The One True Church”
