Also I should mention that yesterday I said “Ankh-Morpork’s favorite son” and then went “oh my god, Young Sam is Batman” and then wrote it down in all caps so I wouldn’t forget, as Meghan pointed out that this probably only lasts 2-3 weeks in a fit of teenage rebellion while his parents are on vacation before Vetinari calls him into the office and threatens to tell his dad he’s been fighting crime as a vigilante. Dragonman only exists for less than a month and nobody (other than Jenkins, the Patrician, and probably Angua) ever know who it is.

within that three weeks, half a dozen “supervillains” start operating – the Jester, the Puzzlemaker, the Rare and Strangely Monochrome Flightless Waterfowl Found on the Ice Floes Rimward of Fourecks. A plucky urchin lad whose parents were killed in a freak circus accident attaches himself to Sam’s side with the determination of a born sidekick (at the end of the book, he will – well, he will end up adopted by someone and signed up for a decent school, but he will vow to either join the Watch one day, or help Sam birdwatch in the afternoons. Dibbler starts selling Dragonman action figures.

Dragonman fades once more into the night, just in times for the Duke and Duchess of Ankh to return and never hear about it. But the legend never dies…
