Last blog we met Hankry Grunt and his wife, Hankrietta. This time around, they’re gearing up for Thanksgiving with special guest Renfield, Dracula’s doting, ill-fated servant. With October and Halloween past, you’d think I’d quit it with the Dracula stuff, but it spilled over…
Hankrietta has had it with the rotting, stinking lettuce-head baby that followed Hankry home last week. She tosses it out the kitchen window after the dishwater.Hankrietta clarifies to Hankry that the baby stank. Now, go answer the door! Their Thanksgiving guest, Renfield, has arrived.Renfield waves hallo! Such a cute little face.Hankry answers the door and invites Renfield to see something in the backyard. Hankry still bemoans the tossed baby, but Renfield takes a keener interest in the flies.A huge, delicious roast fly awaits Renfield and the Grunts for Thanksgiving. After all, turkeys deserve a break once in a while.
