Iznogoud the Infamous

In Baghdad the Magnificent reigns Haroun al Plassid, the Caliph. There also dwells Grand Vizier Iznogoud, who famously wants to 'be Caliph instead of the Caliph'! The irascible Grand Vizier hatches plot after plot to remove his ruler and take his place - melting Djinn, invisibility spells, cursed diamonds, voodoo dolls - but no amount of cunning can make up for sheer, hilarious bad luck.
