The Black-o-eared Parrot

On the website this episode is listed under exactly this title — "The Black-o-eared Parrot." With that extra "o." And the description explicitly notes that it's not a typo. However hard I tried just now, I couldn't remember what the joke with that extra "o" actually is. So let's just say there is a joke in the title, but its nature remains unknown. Which is somehow even better. :) This episode will never lose its relevance. Especially for parts of the world where freedom (in the idealistic sense) never existed and apparently never will, because almost nobody there actually wants it. Such parts of the world exist — more than one — you know the ones. A good episode by every measure, and I'll say so without false modesty. And huge props to Sasha Proskura — he did the animation here, as in all the Ragtimes. Clean and precise.
