Smack Thickwit

Far from being thick witted - Smack is indeed the cleverest of tricksters. He looks about him, glancing more than once towards his master for approval, which he readily receives. The King roars with laughter at the discomforture Smack's jests cause his friends and guests.

The highlight of Smack Thickwit's act is his liberal use of the rasping pig's bladder attached to his bauble - something akin to a modern day woopee cushion. A delicate blend of slapstick, cruelty and mockery - Smack Thickwit is a well-recognized master of his art.
