The deep Trickster

The Goblin Annual Review's special issue on deep has, by tradition, been printed exclusively on the backs of stolen restaurant menus.

The goblins have long maintained that deep is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of deep, and never once regretted the exchange.

The Goblin Verdict on deep

The annual Goblin Symposium on deep adjourned at 3am after a unanimous vote to reconvene tomorrow, on the same topic, with the same delegates, and the same conclusions, which is the goblin definition of fruitful scholarship.
