First, my apologies for not posting this in the LONG Gilded Deck thread, but that thread appears pretty inactive at present. Onto my question: I just got this deck last week, and is it just me, or does the Fool remind anyone else of Dubya??? eeek. Hehehee <>

Hey It's been oft-noted, but actually Ciro reassured us all that it's a self-portrait. Which either means that Ciro looks like Dubya or Dubya springs to mind whenever we see anything titled Fool. :) Scion

Ah. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm glad it's not Dubya. (No, I'm *not at all* a Dubya fan, but having the Fool as Dubya would just, well, detract from the deck, if that makes any sense.)

I do indeed! I know exactly what you mean. In fact, the only reason I knew the answer to your question is because I had the exact same moment of panic when I saw the deck, and dug through the threads til I found Ciro's explanation... :D
