One of Leonard’s saving graces, in a very real sense from Vetinari’s point of view, was his strange attention span. It wasn’t that he soon got bored with things. He didn’t seem to get bored with anything. But since he was interested in everything in the universe all the time the end result tended to be that an experimental device for disembowelling people at a distance then became a string-weaving machine and ended up as an instrument for ascertaining the specific gravity of cheese.

Haha! The two different comments made me think you just might be Stadler and Waldrof, the two old grumpy men from the muppets

I met him once, in passing, when my body was stuck behind the counter at work. Nice enough chap, except we got into a tiff about dimensional portals within the confines of a glass of wine.

Not sure which stance you had, but I always found dimensional portals in my wine ruined the taste for me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I will keep you in suspense, but it was postulated that dimensional portals in your wine cup allowed you to taste the drinks from someone else’s glass, which may explain your results.

This is great! The style's perfect for the character and the details add a lot of humour (A'Tuins expression in that model is just perfect).

Thanks! I had planned to put a lot more bits and pieces around him but trimmed it back because of time restraints
