Unknown. (Perhaps, Constable Bacon.)

But Dick's tale was of a household name 'exiled' to an alternate reality
where he was unknown and that has no relevance to the Atlantic cartoon
cover. (Unless my memory is at fault.)

Despite your earlier misgivings in this thread about only understanding
really twisted PK Dick for only a short time you did an excellent job
of summarizing his story!

Thank you.

It's unintuitive how Constable Bacon jumps out at you at my mention of
Francis "Shakespeare" Bacon.

You said: "ObSF: "Flow my Tears" the Francis "Shakespeare" Bacon said."
PK Dick said:    "Flow my Tears" the Policeman                   said."
I said: "Constable Bacon,"

I thought that it was not possible to search in Google Groups any more
so I was pleased to learn and use narkive.com. Thank you.

My mistake. This is the thread where you and a few other guys played
"pass the story" with Francis "Shakespeare" Bacon analogs:

It left me with the impression you knew all about my Bacon beef, so to
speak. "Flow My Tears" in reference to Bacon is indeed a play on the
PKD.

Many people use substack as a venue to think out loud. usenet
accomplishes the same task for me. And narkive provides linkage to
synthesize snippets into a synergy .

Given Bacon's enormous influence throughout half a millennium, threads
about him may rank as the most on-topic of all. My biggest Baconian
bone of contention is his Royalist mindset.
