| Ace of Nitwits |
The name given to a most peculiar card that simply appears during a ritual that Lewis Barnavelt devises to find the location of the doomsday clock [The House with a Clock in its Walls, 160-1]. The ritual is rather lengthy but suffice it to say that it involves a poker game that quickly turns very bizarre:
"...Lewis picked up a card and found that he was staring at the Ace of Nitwits. There it was. Instead of clubs or hearts, it had ears of corn and green peppers all over it. In the center was a dopey-looking man in a flat black hat called a mortarboard, the kind of hat that college professors wear to graduations. Ice cream was heaped up on the hat, and the professor was tasting it with his index finger."
