Yes, Marc, and there's the Nac mac Feegle as well. ('Will ye no' have a
huge dram and a burned bannock while yer waiting?', 'Hakkis lugs awa'!',
'Nac mac Feegle wha hae!') Which group are one of my favorite Pratchett
characters.
But in *Moving Pictures*, the imps are those used explicitly inside a box
to record the pictures they see when the box's cover is opened. They
literally paint what they see.
