I got into a discussion on this character on another forum... blow me,I hadn't thought at all that it was strange that a weedy ineffectual little man of the sort who so often appears in English comedy should also be able to travel around the world with such ease in his little brown UPS van. A take on Postman Pat? Or a deeper level of annotation to be discovered? --[[User:AgProv|AgProv]] 09:15, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Looking at the Bible offers no clues, either: Revelations 6:1-8 describes the four Horsemen, and all the text says is that they each "were given" the badge of office shortly before the Apocalypse. No clues are vouchsafed as to the means of delivery, nor in whose custody the sword and crowns were beforehand. Interestingly, Famine already has the Scales, so taken literally, there is no need to deliver them to him, and Death is also given a crown at this point. So I suppose there's room for artistic licence here... --[[User:AgProv|AgProv]] 12:12, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Apparently there have been a great many revisions and modifications to {{GO}} over the years. In my recent Corgi paperback, the delivery man works for "International Express". --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 22:17, 4 June 2009 (UTC)<BR>
I like the name "Deuce X. Mascina" for him. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 23:00, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

On tvtropes, there is a beguiling theory:

''God is the unnamed postal service worker who delivers the Horsepersons' artifacts
''Because He is the only character who is listed among the dramatis personae but is not explicitly introduced in the text. Also, we all know that God loves playing janitors, postal workers, and such.''
