Should he wear
the cape he wondered as he looked himself over in the wardrobe mirror, should
he wear a costume at all? Did anyone
wear costumes anymore?
Professor
Inflation had been too busy this past decade to consider a change in his attire. In the seventies he’d worn a stuffy sweater,
thick glasses, beard, and corduroy pants.
The palette of which he kept warm and natural. In the eighties he’d donned a white lab
jacket, safety goggles, and a host of neon undershirts. This failed to portray the sort of professor
he was, but it was the eighties and accuracy and depth were not in fashion. Back in the sixties he’d gotten away with a
cape and tight, form fitting clothes. He
had even managed to pull off wearing pinks and purples and mauves.
Retro was back
in wasn’t it?
Perhaps he should break out the cape. For nearly two decades he’d been in expensive
suits. Wasn’t it time for a change? Shouldn’t he try to bring some of the flash,
some of the fun, back to inflation?
Professor
Inflation picked up a white suit jacket and considered a pink undershirt, but
just for a moment. He quickly cast them
aside and continued rummaging through his closet for something perfect to wear.
