"A Brief Interview with King Maximillian Acorn"
By Joshua
Josh: Good day, folks, welcome to this special Labor Day edition of "Sonic Talk". I'm your host Joshua Knode and today's guest is King Maximillian Acorn of the House of Acorn--
Jon: Hey, you didn't say how your date went!
Josh: Well, Jon, I took Amy to the bistro. I had the sirloin well-done, she had the fried chicken salad. Then I walked her home.
Jon: And then?
Josh: Then I walked to MY home.
Jon: And then?
Josh: I went to bed, woke up and came to work--what do YOU think happened?
Jon: Oh, well, I guess that's what WOULD happen next...
Josh: Man, Jon, what goes through that bandleader's mind of yours?
Jon: Can't say or we'll be kicked off this website.
Josh: (Groans and rolls his eyes) Anyway, as I was saying, today's guest is King Max of the House of Acorn. What's new?
Max: The move back to Knothole--very crowded.
Josh: I'd think so. So how are things turning out?
Max: Rather smoothly. I've been able to keep order up until now. Now I am organizing labor to build new houses, so that we might accomodate everyone.
Josh: Ahh, getting in some good works before the election year, are we? (Winks)
Max: Election year?
Josh: Yeah, aren't you going to run for re-election?
Max: I don't have to, I'm a monarch!
Josh: (Thinks) Oh, yeah, that's right, you're King whether they like it or not. I guess you won't need these campaign signs I had made. (Holds up a sign.)
Max: Uh...no, but I thank you anyway..."Vote Max" is very, uh...catchy.
Josh: Your Majesty, with all due respect, the readers have voiced that they are sometimes rather unsatisfied with your decisions.
Max: I'm quite aware that I am one of the less-liked characters in the comic series. But I was never out to be popular. As a monarch I must sometimes make choices that don't set the right with the people; but everything turns out in the long run and my people appreciate that.
Josh: What about Nate Morgan?
Max: Well, I'm not immune to making a mistake...
Josh: How about appointing Julian as Warlord?
Max: It seemed like the thing to do at the time...
Josh: Or assigning Kodos for that matter...
Max: ALL RIGHT! I'm not perfect! People don't realise how stressful my job can be!
Josh: But I'll bet the benefits are through the roof, huh?
Max: Can't beat the health-care plan.
Josh: Well, that's about all the time we have. Thank you for making it out, your Majesty.
Max: Please call me Max.
Josh: I would but the interview's over! We'll see you all next time on "Sonic Talk" when my guest will be Dulcy the Dragon. Good night!

tourists have stopped by to have a nice chat with King Max since September 18, 1999. Of course, he forced them all to marry people they hated, but hey...
