Dibbler, Marsa Matruh, Egypt, 2010

This gentleman, a meat pie seller in Marsa Matrouh, Egypt, looks exactly the way I always imagined Terry Pratchett's character CMOT Dibbler would look. The fact that he is a meat pie seller is just the icing on the cake.

 

Here's a quote about CMOT Dibbler from Sir Terry Pratchett's brilliant book Night Watch: "there was something about his expression, as of a rat who was expecting cheese right around the next corner, and had been expecting cheese around the last corner too, and the corner before that, and, although the world has turned out so far to be full of corners yet completely innocent of any cheese at all, was nevertheless quite certain that, just around the corner, cheese awaited."
