#220: Grumpo von Squiggy

     Okay, time for Characterfest post #3: Grumpo von Squiggy! You've already heard the tale of Captain Super Violet and Flumpers, the Valiunt Heros of Kingdomland, so now it is time to learn more about their mortal enemy and king, Grumpo von Squiggy! The people of Kingdomland were once quite the happy breed, throwing shindigs and munching on the nicest of goodies. But that was before their benevolent king, Happyhoo von Squiggy III, retired to the Bahamas and handed over the torch of kinglihood to his eldest son Grumpo. That, my friends, is when life turned to poop. As king, Grumpo chose to confiscate all of the land's fudge for himself, and only himself, to munch. Why, you ask? Because he's a meanie. We're talking a cut-in-front-of-you-at-the-grocery-store-check-out-without-even-caring meanie. An ask-for-you-to-give-him-a-high-five-and-then-yell-PSYCH meanie. A jumps-out-from-behind-a-bush-and-scares-you-into-dropping-your-rocky-road-ice-cream-cone-on-the-sidewalk meanie! Yeah, folks. That's a big stinkin' meanie. But luckily, his fudge-stealing act of tyranny caught the attention of the Valiunt Heros, who proceded to defeat him and return the fudge to the people. The duo have been foiling his dastardly plans ever since. Life lesson: being a meanie never pays. Stay in school, kids.
