Captain A, Eh?

Captain A, Eh?

Captain Anonymous — so professional that even his cat does not recognize him, not even up close, by smell.

Captain Anonymous disappeared for an entire week and no one noticed. Now he's smiling and having a beer.

Captain Anonymous does not want to sound conceited, but he holds, so he says, the world record for the most people who have no idea who the hell he is, but nobody knows that either.

Captain Anonymous is a quick change artist. In six seconds he can change his appearance from just an average guy standing around in nondescript gray coveralls to his super hero uniform: an average guy bumping into things at random while dressed in nondescript gray coveralls.

Captain Anonymous is not widely known, hence his brand. Just look for the plain sort-of-off-white box on the shelf next to the other things you never notice. You'll do just fine.

Captain Anonymous is vaguely known even to Captain Automatic, who is likely to go off at any hour for no apparent reason, especially if wound too tight, and is negligible in every other respect as well.
