What if Kim dies?




Kim inspects production of  Workers' Delicious Banquet No 1
What if North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is dying or already dead? It is widely anticipated that his sister Kim Yo-jong could seize the reins of power but nobody seems to know much about her. I am unreliably informed that her name translates as Fragrant Production Target although nobody really knows what is going on in the Gangster Kingdom.

That picture is strangely reminiscent of illustrations in the primary school books I was given. It's partly the odd colours, and partly the naïve expressions and posture. "The Ladybird book of Future Dictators", perhaps.

He's a bit young to have been offed by the virus, unless his porkiness was an "underlying condition". Maybe he's self isolating. Or maybe he's with Dominic Cummings at Cobra meetings.

I'm surprised he still has a sister, he seems to have bumped off everyone else in his family!

A stupid haircut may be the real reason for his vanishment...

Looking at the results of his annual liposuction.

Sam - he is a bit young but his health has been researched in some detail via height, body shape, the way he walks, his apparent breathing rate and so on. Very unhealthy seems to be the conclusion.

Scrobs - maybe he needed a haircut nobody else would dare copy because it would be too obvious. Or maybe it is designed to make his head look less like a beach ball.

Doonhamer - now that's a possibility. Can't quite bring myself to imagine uses for it though.

PS. Just read in news paper headline - "Kim Jong Un Dead"
Missread it and thought it was some previously unknown advance in NK medicine.

Doonhamer - an advance like that could have been a boost for tourism.
