Because ''Absent-Minded Theater'' is a StandardFantasySetting LowFantasy dark comedy about a girl with one arm and no legs and a few other people who are being slowly and tragically ([[BlackComedy and hilariously]]) destroyed by all the ''worst'' aspects of a standard Renaissance-Europe fantasy setting. You know, like the awful medical care, and the evil forest, and the magic (which-you-can-only-get-by-selling-your-first-born-to-a-witch), and the crops to grow, because you've got crippled kids to feed. Even in fantasy-land.
