"Gutemberg Operation"

In a short prologue, Yellow Kid introduces himself to the other fictional characters, all crammed at the back of the stage, who hail him and ask him to tell a story. His adventure begins: in a remote future, the whole Known Universe is dominated by the usual baddy, Galadrion, a powerful and cruel emperor. The action starts with Kidhelping a group of rebels escape from imperial troops. In doing so, he immediately reveals his further peculiarity: Yellow Kid does not merely content himself with telling his stories, he physically plunges into them and becomes one of their main characters. In the meantime, the rebels tell Yellow Kid that the only way to escape being trapped by Galadrion is finding the first press in the history of humankind, i.e. Gutenberg’s press. At this point of the story, two champions of the weak, Hercules and Robin Hood, step in to defend the oppressed people. With the assistance from these characters and Yellow Kid himself, the sought-after press is found and the cruel and wicked emperor is finally defeated and divested of his prestige and authority. When Kid shifts back to the storyteller role – as part of his reverse role play – he will discover that neither Hercules nor Robin Hood actually recall the adventure they have just gone through: he is the only interface between fiction and the real world, which makes him a very special imaginary character…
