Worldbuilding Wednesday 9/25/24: Elvis!

 

What if Elvis had been born in Tibet instead of Tupelo, Mississippi?

When Elvis died in 1977, no one could dream that he’d become an American icon on the level of Mickey Mouse or Marilyn Monroe. See even a crudely drawn figure with a pompadour, a guitar, and a lopsided posture, it’s impossible NOT to think “Elvis.” Or one of his many impersonators, also an American icon, as Mae West impersonators once were.

But what if Elvis had some other name in some other dimension? Or you want to create your own version?

(The term “Elvii” was conjured up by authors Jan and Michael Stern to cover Elvis’s many imitators.)
