Parabellum City Passes a C-Note, episode 100 of This Gun in My Hand, was founded and passed by Rob Northrup -- who would like to remind you that This Gun in My Hand is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual events, places, financial instruments or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialogue.

Show Notes:
1. The history of Parabellum City is inspired by the founding of Jacksonberg, aka Jacksonopolis, aka Jackson, aka Jacktown, aka Rose City, aka Prison City. They’re not meant to be the same. Parabellum City is bigger. Jackson is not what I’d call a toddlin’-class town.

2. Fruity ad inspired by “He Was Her Man” (Merrie Melodies, 1936). Content warning: the domestic violence they got away with in 1936 cartoons is unreal.

3. Wikipedia says “In some cities in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, the key to the city is given to the so-called 'prins carnaval' who leads the carnivals which take place the week prior to Septuagesima.”
