   So he isn’t inviting himself along, just giving a mother and daughter a chance for a good evening together? Cool.

   Mole told her HE was given a family dinner. He says he thinks that she and Toad would like to go. (along is implied)

   What on Earth does one fry that is spikey and green?

   Great art today, and I enjoy seeing Mole happy. The coloring? Not so hot.

   So very Dickensian! I know; I’ve said this before. But it’s true. The tale of Mr. Mole and Mrs. Spencer and young Toad could so easily have been among the many interwoven sub-plots, dark yet humor-rich, in one of those gigantic novels by Charles Dickens. The very names reek of Dickens! And just as in those great works of the 19th century, so here in the 21st century the ending doesn’t necessarily have to be a happy one for all involved, though it may be and I hope it will be.

   I’d suggest you watch “Chopped” a couple of times. The chefs on that show fry things I’ve never even heard of, in all shapes and colors. Love that show. Sweet Genius is also a favorite for weird ingredients. If Mole watched t.v., I think he’d like that show as well.

    Certainly is, orphaned kids; people living in poverty; stark, dreary settings and people just holding on, hoping for a better future

    Going by the age of her daughter, I’d have thought Mrs Spencer would be at least 10 years younger than she looks…. but, that’s not a bad thing, it makes her a better match for Mole ;)

    I enjoy these brief side stories. They provide variety and allow Mike to explore the humanity of the characters. That said, I hope this night out for Mole, Rose and Toad doesn’t go sour.

    Some of you were wondering what this pic was about, yesterday, so, I’ve reposted it, with a little Gouldian aide ;)
