A Tale of Magic and Woe, set in an Arby's Restaurant. Part 4
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PICKLES!!!?!?"
Fauntleroy the duck practically shook with anger, frustration and hunger. It was a testament to just how packed with these emotions he was that they were still visible from behind him where Clarence and Ferdinand watched in horror. "How can you serve sandwiches without even a gherkin available?" Fauntleroy questioned the terrified and trembling Sloth.
"I'm very sorry sir, Arby's is a franchised restaurant and we can only carry the foods that the parent corporation supplies us with. If there is anything at all that I can offer you from our variety of products please let me know!". Clarence was surprised at how smoothly and eloquently Matthias the Sloth handled the feathered powder keg. Clearly this was not the first case of pickle rage that Arby's lack of crunchy dill treats had resulted in.
"Very well Mr. Sloth, I am very sorry to have raised my voice. If you will provide me with a chocolate turnover free of charge then I will be happy to forget about your company's reprehensible bias against pickles and be on my way." Fauntleroy the duck looked expectantly at Matthias who suddenly broke out in a sheen of sweat all over his furred forehead. "I'm very sorry sir, it's just..." "Spit it out you imbecilic arboreal nincompoop!" Fauntleroy interrupted him, clearly beginning to lose patience with the apologetic three-toed leaf-eater. "We're all out of chocolate turnovers sir, I'm afraid I sold the last one to the customer just before you. Maybe he'd be w."
BLAM.
BLAM.
Two explosions in quick succession rang out, interrupting the cashier in mid-sentence, before the occupants of the fast food establishment could comprehend what had happened. Clarence's mind spun as he tried to connect the disturbing sounds with a memory he knew was hidden in the depths of his consciousness. Before he could find the long lost experience his eyes locked onto the answer. A double barreled shotgun smoking, a horrible mess behind the counter and a wild-eyed Fauntleroy the duck who was slowly aiming the firearm at Clarence's best friend.

A Tale of Magic and Woe, set in an Arby's Restaurant. Part 3
The clerk smiled shyly at Clarence, he was a middle aged sloth with a name tag that said "Hi, my name is Matthias", and opened his mouth. Before he could say even a single letter Clarence cut him off, he knew what he wanted after all, by saying "Gimme a Big Montana, and don't try and tell me you don't have anything called that, just because some high muckity muck decided to change the name it doesn't mean you don't have a Big Montana. Also a large diet coke please." The clerk's smile got a little bigger as he rang up the order.
Clarence paid for his food, took the ticket and shuffled off to wait for his comfort food to be ready. He knew it was going to take a few minutes, after all there's something like 14 pounds of roast beef on one those things, so he headed towards the condiment bar to round up several packets of Arby's Sauce and some Horsey Sauce for good measure. Clarence sometimes thought he could sit and drink Arby's Sauce, it just tasted like pure sin to him, but the thought that something that good had to be bad kept his saucey lust in check.
While the sheep hoarded his white and red treasures Ferdinand stepped up to the counter to place his order. Ferdinand waited patiently for the clerk to greet him, there was a moment of awkward silence as the be-furred cashier tried to decide if his new customer would interrupt him like Clarence had, and then smiled as the sloth smoothly rattled off his practiced introduction. "Welcome to Arby's sir, would you like to try our brand new Chocolate Turnover? They're only available for a limited time!". Ferdinand had been waiting to hear exactly that. "I'll take 6 Turnovers, a Giant Beef & Chedder and a large Banana Milkshake."
It only took one look into Ferdinand's eyes for the clerk to know he wasn't kidding about the turnovers. The clerk rang up the order quickly and Ferdinand paid with a smile. He knew as well as Clarence that he was in for a bit of a wait but the giant paper bag waiting next to the order window made any wait worthwhile. That bag would soon be filled almost to the top with delicious, flaky turnovers, filled themselves with melty chocolate goodness. In the meantime Ferdinand could spend a few precious moments out of earshot of Mr. Fauntleroy to catch up with Clarence.
"I see you're still addicted to Arby's Sauce, I guess it's nice to know that some things never change no matter how many hypnosis sessions you attend!". Clarence smirked at Ferdinand as the monkey sidled up beside him and began to pull napkins from the dispenser. "I've been off the sauce for almost 2 years now, thank you very much, I'm just doing a little backsliding. It was a really crummy day at work so I decided to test Madame LeFarfuche's work." Ferdinand laughed with genuine amusement and replied "Clearly she was as good as she proclaimed to be, do you have her business card on you?".
"Listen" started Clarence. "I'm real sorry I left you with that horrible old man, things really weren't so bad and it's obvious he's gotten better if you're willing to eat lunch with him." "You're crazy! If you hadn't left when you did I'm positive the two of you would have been at each others' throats with framing knives and I'd have been the poor fool left to clean up the gizzards!" Ferdinand, ironically, looked sheepish as he talked to Clarence. "The only reason I'm out here with him today is because he threatened to take away my lunch break entirely unless I brought him with me. The old coot's lost his mind, do you know he wants me to design a frame made entirely of bread?!"
Clarence laughed out loud but immediately reigned in his guffaws, the last thing he needed was to get his best friend in trouble with Mr. Fauntleroy, and then glanced worriedly in the direction of the counter where the old duck was engaged in a heated debate with the shy sloth cashier. The sheep and the monkey knew this scenario all too well thanks to their years working for Mr. Fauntleroy and they were torn by a desire to save another sentient being from this pain and an equal need to avoid a lunatic's wrath.
After watching the verbal duel for 30 seconds it was clear to Clarence that he would have to intervene if he ever hoped to enjoy his lunch. He reluctantly placed the Arby's Sauce packets in a pile on the counter and took three long steps towards the counter, Mr. Fauntleroy and salvation for Matthias the Sloth's mortal soul.

A Tale of Magic and Woe, set in an Arby's Restaurant. Part 2
As Clarence the Sheep and Ferdinand the Monkey's friendly embrace came to an end there was a rough, annoyed cough from the other side of a large, artificial plant. The cough carried the kind of wetness that would cause any loved one to question the health of the person from whom it had originated. Clarence tried to see through the plant, tried to see who was surely dying of the consumption, but the plastic fronds blocked his view.
Just as Clarence had decided to leave well enough alone a curmudgeonly duck waddled out from behind the faux-fern and into view. Clarence recognized him immediately, it was Fauntleroy, the owner of the frame shop where he and Ferdinand had worked for so many years, and he had to fight very hard not to fall immediately back into the funk he'd been in after work.
In the same way that Ferdinand had been the reason Clarence stayed at "Totally Trimming" for so long, Fauntleroy was the only reason he'd finally left. Fauntleroy had been the definition of "irritable" on his best days and on his worst he'd been as horrible as a Wampa with a frost thorn in it's foot. Ferdinand realized instantly that his estranged friend wasn't happy and flashed the best "I'm SO sorry!" look he could muster. He'd never thought he'd run into Clarence at Arby's but now that he had Ferdinand was caught between pure joy and stark horror that he'd been caught eating lunch with the enemy.
Clarence extended his hoof and said "Mr. Fauntleroy, it's been too long!". He almost surprised himself with how convincing he'd been at acting happy to see the old duck. He noticed that Ferdinand, too, was practically slack-jawed as Clarence shook appendages with Fauntleroy. The crotchety old duck grunted as he pulled his hand away from Clarence, as if any further contact would cause him to lose the wing. "You're looking quite pleased with yourself, Mr. Sheep, you can cease your deceptively happy act this instant. I know you don't like me and we're wasting time better spent chewing."
Clarence held his lips shut through force of will alone and headed towards the counter to drown his anger in roasted meat.

I don't know if I've really explained what this site is meant for or what all of the links I've been vomiting across Twitter and Facebook are all about.
I want my work to be seen and I want feedback from as many people as possible.
Mostly I've posted my pen and ink drawings but you've also seen links to toy reviews at www.infinitehollywood.com . I'm making it a point to do all of this because it's enjoyable. I already have a job, after all, and it's important to me that I never lose the joy that creating something gives me.
I stopped drawing altogether after I started taking art classes in high school and art began to feel like a chore more than something fun and I don't want that to happen again.
This doesn't mean that I'm above being paid for my creations!
If you've liked any of the drawings I've posted they can be yours for the low, low price of $10 + shipping (where applicable). I'll also do a personalized original pen and ink drawing of whatever you want (within reason, I don't want to be skeeved out by the subject matter) for the same price. Watercolors are $20 + shipping, I haven't posted too many of those but I plan to get more up here soon.
Just send me an e-mail (lilsluggy at gmail dot com) and we can talk.
If you don't feel the need to own any of this stuff I am completely happy to have you enjoying what's here and sharing it with your friends! Follow me on twitter (@rexplode) or facebook (facebook.com/rexplode), give me your comments no matter what they are. I love knowing that other people are checking out what I post and responding to your comments is always a blast.
Thanks for looking!
