Edward Lear

Edward Lear (? - ?) is a crime-fighting poet and humorist.

His principal crime-fighting techniques:

• As a humorist, who charmed birds and animals into doing small deeds for him
• As a travel guide, by capturing his retinal data, which he reworked later, sometimes as light art (nonfiction) for his travel books
• As a (occasional) member of musical electroplating ensembles, notably Chrome Plover and Reverse Drain Bamage

Lear and Mark Twain are notorious drinking buddies.
