The Alaska Scapegoat Ranch
Wilkins Micawber, proprietor

Strength through Sarcasm

Wilkins Micawber (also known as Mohair Zoot) is a local gadfly citizen, named for the ne'er-do-well character in Dickens' David Copperfield, who ultimately turns the tables on Uriah Heep and emigrates to Australia. What a romantic story. Politically aware and dedicated to husbandry, Micawber was the foster parent of two Saanen billygoats when a graduate student, and thus began the long descent into the scapegoat fantasy underworld. His fondest wish is to develop the talent to become a political cartoonist and bring America a clear report of its race to a fascist future. For now he is happily embedded in Alaska and addicted to books and internet activist sites, working on his collection of American propaganda posters.
