Heathcliff for 11-14-2022

You know how people make custom candles? Ones to set the mood, ones based on abstract ideas like "raging against the machine" or "feminine mystique" or "shitty ass day" etc? Or the fandom ones like, for instance, "Sherlock Holmes' Study."

Sherlock Holmes was a gross dude. Let's be frank here. If you've read the Arthur Conan Doyle books he's just... not a clean person. He smoked pipes, didn't empty his ashtray, and left his plates and mugs lying around. Also his dirty clothing. I'm not saying he was incredibly filthy but he shot up cocaine pretty regularly and did opium and would sink into deep depressions.

I don't think I want my living room to smell like that.

Your mileage may vary, of course.

Heathcliff is apparently a savvy businesscat and has his own line of scented candles that smell like butts. At least that's what the Greek Chorus that is two birds are telling us, the audience. Butt scented candles.

Dogs sniff butts to get information about people. Is this like selling an olfactory biography?

Whatever it is, it looks like he has an active customer base.
