Title: ‘Follow that Moped!’
Opening Scene: Honky and Walbert G. SeaLion (in his last appearance before the actor’s tragic and mysterious death at the (alleged) hands of the Dutch) are relaxing at ‘Uncle Ransid-Krabstix’s Underwater Flipper and Fin Pampering Spa’ when Honky’s Mer-Phone rings! Houses are collapsing all over town and people are being crushed to bits!
Medical Emergency: Due to lax building regulations caused by corruption at the highest level of the local council, many houses in town are substandard in terms of their foundations and general structure. When these houses start falling down on top of their inhabitants, there’s only one Merman who can tend to the horrifically injured! That’s right, it’s Honky!
Crime Scene: A moped is stolen from the local Polytechnic.
Domestic Crisis: Honky is expecting a new dishwasher to be delivered, but he has to be at home between the hours of 3 and 5pm that day! Will Honky save the injured/solve the mystery of the stolen moped and make it home in time to accept delivery of his new dishwasher?! You’ll have to wait and see!
Fascinating Fact: The actor who played Uncle Ransid-Krabstix, Horace Nuntoucher, died in tragic and mysterious circumstances after filming was completed. There is no evidence the Dutch were involved. Of course, that doesn’t mean they weren’t involved, it just means it couldn’t be proved.

| Horace Nuntoucher - killed by the Dutch? |
Favourite Scene: Honky has to hold on tight to the sides of his roof-based bath when the Merman Mobile leaps over thirty eight buses in hot pursuit of the stolen moped but with his usual derring-do he cheerfully shouts ‘Isn’t that typical, you wait hours for a bus and then thirty eight of them come along at once!’. LOL! Oh, Honky, how I miss your hilarity.
Bonus Detail: Here's a picture I made of the Mer-Phone, it's not as good as I'd hoped, but it's the best I can do. It's basically a phone with fins.

Oh, come come now, Mr Clusterfook!
ReplyDeleteWhat are you thinking of? ANOTHER baseless accusation of MURDER against the Dutch? The Government of the Netherlands, represented here by myself, Yasper Slotboom, are rapidly running out of patience! How much longer must we stand idly by while you soil our reputation with these foul insinuations?
WE DID NOT KILL HORACE NUNTOUCHER!
Don't make the Dutch angry, Mr Clusterfook, you wouldn't like the Dutch when we are angry!
Yours faithfully,
Yasper Slotboom.
I don't like the Dutch regardless of their mood!! Because I find it impossible to forgive them for ALL THOSE MURDERS THEY (ALLEGEDLY) DID!
