Frederick didn’t get the chance to flick the booger off his fingers.

Louie was known around town as a semi-successful butcher. His only regret in life was that he hadn’t been there to see the look on Mrs. Peabody’s face when she found a couple of extra “sausages” in her order.

The Admiral checking the status of his navel base.

Poor Miklos Barabas, in spite of having his subject cover every square inch of skin possible, STILL ran out of fleshtone paint. (The subject, bald as a newborn babe, thought Miklos had been flattering him by giving him a full head of hair.)

I guess we can’t see the blue bandana tied around his left, lower leg…

You can’t tell it from this view, but his pants are hanging halfway down his bottom.
