@david-vandermeer ......between Margaret holding the best seat in the international offshore smoking section,and "Sandwich Salvatore`s" vicious reputation with mooches,poor old Wimpy looks to be out of luck.
.....J Wellington usually makes bank on these outings by volunteering his services as an afterhours` clean-out man
Passing by the Briggs & Stratton company picnic, Wimpy smells burgers on the barbecue and mentally rehearses his "I will gladly pay you Tuesday" line. Meanwhile peckish vegan Llana the Llama finds this smell revolting but is relieved to see her owner, farmer Elgin Baler, arrive with her lunch. Sadly part time employee Moses, who has once again been into the wine on an empty stomach, tries to show off to attendees that he too can walk on water, but his fate will soon be similar to that of his disciple buddy Peter. Ruff N. Reddy, recently lauded as the first canine to graduate from safe boating class, proudly does a "sail past" for the impressed crowd. Bruno quietly happens upon the scene and heeding the park ranger's recent stern warning, mentally focuses on the sizzling burgers; bearly containing his natural urge to devour the far tastier human appetizers before him. Fortunately potential tragedy is averted when Bruno spots a Schwinn parked nearby and impulsively absconds with it; seizing the opportunity fulfil his life long ambition of becoming a circus bear.
with the "Jack`sons expose" all over the streets,the high muckety mucks over at Briggs decided that Mr Wimpy had procured his last hamburger on margin from any and all company functions......effective immediately,the one-time famous detective Columbo would take over security for all company vehicles and do so under the auspices of an edgier and darker illustrative style
Spooky Luke and Elgin Baler decide not to snag the odd looking fish for lunch and begin to wonder if constructing the plutonium plant upstream was such a good idea after all.
