Understands the importance of form and automation of tiresome and unnecessary tasks - take for example the patented molesworth self-adjusting thank you letter: https://jollycontrarian.com/index.php?title=Molesworth_self-adjusting_thank-you_letter | |||

Wantonly eschews convention and through imaginative subversion of the idiom has instead generated his own idiom which — as any fule kno — survives to this day in respectful publications like Private Eye and the (cough) Jolly Contrarian. | |||
