Classical Conservatism

Classical Conservatism also called Traditional Conservatism is a type of conservative that focuses on traditions stemming from before the enlightenment philosophy.

ClassCons emphasize the need for the principles of a transcendent moral order, the bonds of social order and the defense of ancestral institutions over what they consider as excessive individualism.

They also place a strong emphasis on authority and  tradition amongst other things.

Despite being culturally right, they are neither nationalist nor  reactionary (although the latter is debatable).

Personality and Behaviour

 * Has a very posh British accent (most likely cockney).
 * Stereotypical "proper person".
 * Uses vintage sophisticated vernacular like "bogus", "to be frank", and "poppycock".
 * "Why don't you go and make me a sammich?"

How to Draw
Drawing ClassCon is simple:
 * 1) Draw a ball
 * 2) Fill it in with navy blue
 * 3) Draw a black or near-black top hat on top of the ball
 * 4) Add the eyes
 * 5) Give him a golden monocle over his right eye and you're done!
