Harvey, Private Hamster in: RED SAWDUST

[K75RT]

I stopped in on my ol' pal Knothead the other day and among other things he relates to me the story of one Harvey, Private Hamster. Seems despite his best efforts to stay out of the story you guys keep writing him back in. This strikes me as highly amusing. After all, what are friends good for if not humiliating them in public? ...In a loving way of course....

On the way home I start to envision a "Trouble with Harry" type scenario of the corpse that wouldn't stay dead. Please note that Knothead and I have been best friends, no scratch that, brothers for just shy of 32 years and in no way do I wish him anything but the very very best. This is just how we play. An extra special apology to Caddmannq for dragging your character into this but, Knot kept mentioning you and I found the idea of a penguin funny.

I hope you'll all enjoy, and assist in the creation of........

RED SAWDUST

"It was colder than a widow's bedsheets that night as I followed the trail of sardines to their inevitable destination. I didn't need to go inside to know what I would find. The red sawdust oozing under the door said it all. This wasn't going to be pretty. Death by penguin never is."

Did you draw that? Amazingly good. Fantastic Talent.

YOW! I think I just got KILT! By my best buddy! I'm not surprised! You oughtta see my enemies!!

Consarn it, Paul, we haven't even gotten thru the SECOND story, and here you are starting a THIRD!

Besides, I realized long ago that when someone as fiendishly clever as CaddmannQ writes you into the story, it's basically hopeless. Even DEATH wouldn't stop the continuance of a favored character, he'd just invent some kinda super glue using "Antarctic Silver" as the main ingredient and glue the sorry miscreant back together!!

So I think it best to just play along, and "complain" about it in private. For a laugh!

Thanks, buddy!

It's true! In the first "Harvey" I rammed Knothead headfirst into a Mercedes Limo, cracking the engine block, and he did not die!

He does, however, have an attractive stainless steel plate Tek-screwed to the top of his head now...

Hint: It's gonna come in handy later in the story when the dooog takes.....OOOPS!....NO WAY! I almost spoiled the whole plot for Harvey II

PS: We gotta finish it now...our hands are tied!

And...HEY! Whaddya mean "fiendishly" clever???
Penguins ain't fiends!
...just because we ate a software architect or two don't make us fiends!
