In Lilliput, after three years of bitter struggle within their tribe, the Imps have finally chosen their new leader. Gasket, the goblin who looks a bit like a poodle, is the one who the Imps think will lead their tribe to glory in the next election in five centuries’ time.
It was an emotional night for Gasket, and he got carried away by the occasion, preaching brotherly love for everyone and his wife… sorry, their partner.
The whole of Lilliput was infected by Gasket mania, although the love message did not take off at all, so much so that the reaction of most Lilliputians was on the general lines of "How ridiculous". Love, of all things, in Catholic Lilliput… Still, the forest is alight with interest and excitement about the new leader of the Imps. Instead of Gant, the goblin with a permanent frown, the Imps are offering Gasket, a goblin with a permanent smile. Even the leader of the Imps’ arch enemies the Elves, the Great Leader Gobbi himself, and the Archdruid of Lilliput, Grebona, almost fell over themselves to meet Gasket and wish him well. In the pictures taken on these occasions, all the goblins were smiling and happy. Gasket’s message of brotherly love was well and truly sinking in.
And then, all of a sudden just two days later, while nobody was looking, the Imps chose two clowns to be their deputy leaders. The collective groan of anguish from the entire population of Lilliput, when this news came out, was heard on the other side of the galaxy.
