Pinocchio, Ch33, Pgs 11-12
In the Pinocchio book I have been using as reference, the barker makes a reference to the widely laughed-at and debunked science of phrenology by calling it the "system of Gall" in reference to Franz Joseph Gall, the German doctor who came up with it. I don't know if it was supposed to be that kind of joke in the book, but the fact that the lying barker uses such a method to deduce that this donkey can dance just hits differently in the 20th century. Just very funny, imo. I'm rolling on the floor and laughing.
I will gear up the Pinocchio department to produce more pages, as I've seen that it's been just over one year since we had a P-Update. And that tears it. F-Off can fuck off, it's Pinocchio time.
edit: fixed some inconsistent dialogue about moving the show and a new typo

The gradually more goofy transition from walking to running to that last panel is just... (P.S. Typo in the second panel of the first page - decalred instead of declared)
Muybridge is as dignified as poor pinnochio is ever going to get.
Honestly if someone told me this whole speech was written in modern times as a joke on how stuff was written 150 years ago I wouldn't question it, and that together with the art just makes it all the funnier to me.
