The debate over the relative reality of Chongo and Chinga (whom Little Hawk acknowledges as Chongo's sister) reminds me of an ancient rhyme:

There once was a homo named Bloom
Took a lesbian up to his room.
But they argued all night,
About who had the right
To do what, and with which, and to whom.


Chongo is a figment who insists he don't know nuffin about Chinga, his sister by birth, who was forced into prostitution at an early age because the feckless Chongo abandoned his mother and sister to seek wealth and adventure. She fought her way up the ladder of success and now owns and operates a chain of prosperous red-light establishments in Chicago, Milwaukee, Denver and Orelia, Canada.

Chongo's "creator", or figment-meister acknowledges the claimancy of Chinga. Yet Chongo does not. Is this self-contradiction by Little Hawk? A double standard? Hypocrisy? A divine identity crisis?
