The Council of the Three Creameries

Every summer, as temperatures rise and the need for soothing refreshment becomes paramount, the Council of the Three Creameries meets to appoint the new flavors of the sweltering season.

This year the Council is headed by the primary colors of the creamery world: Strawberry, Blueberry, and Lemon. As is deemed in the bylaws of the Grand Creamery, the cone torches are lit at sundown giving the Council anywhere from 4 to 5 hours to appoint new flavors before they themselves melt away.

Prospects for this year include Fleenberry, Pineapple Crunch, and a spicy Jalapeno Sorbet.

Sherbert's are ineligible.

Mr. Boils

Mr. Boils has skin that can sear a steak at 50 yards.

He dips himself daily in a soothing blue balm — both to cool his sizzling flesh and protect his fine linens.

Salsbury Boy

Salsbury Boy is happy to be — and I'm glad that he is.

Traipsing about town in his favorite red boots, this rapturous round steak exudes joy from every faux griddle mark on his merry meat patty of a body. He's always at the ready with a kind word and he's never without his smiley lunch box.

Like the Johnny Appleseed of the school lunch program, Salsbury Boy is on the move, he's spreading goodness, and he's headed to a cafeteria near you!

Salsbury!
Salsbury!
Salsbury!
Boy.

Pinch Gibbon

Pinch Gibbons are pesky little primates that inhabit the grass forrest on the outskirts of Chauceville. Life would be fine if they stayed there but, to many a Chaucevillian's chagrin, a daily sojourn to the city is always on the Pinch Gibbon's to do list.

Each one of this mischievous monkey's arms ends in two nailless, spongy and slightly textured fingers. It uses these little danglers to pinch unsuspecting Chaucevillians as it leaps haphazardly about the city. It seems to take particular delight in this activity though no known benefit is garnered.

Caker

Chief strategist for the Bunny Fleens mayoral campaign, Caker is a clever and calculating bun. His keen political insight and propensity to poll has kept Bunny Fleens in power now for 5 terms running.

String Bean, Banana & Grape

This friendly trio of produce is always up to something fun.

Right now they're between capers but Grape has a few ideas brewing.

Pendy Foils

Pay no attention to this filthy sweezler — he's not really stranded.

Pendy Foils is a bratty little attention monger with a habit of "marooning" himself right in the middle of the page. To date he's ruined 14 drawings this way. Ten have succumbed to this faux-island nonsense, 3 have holes in them from his "ring-of-fire" routine and 1 particularly detailed sketch lies soiled by a runny puddle of fake quicksand.

It's plain to see that the water here is only a few centimeters deep. Indeed, the ripples don't even touch the edge of the box. Pendy could walk right off his little sand mound if he so chose. So please, just move along to another snig and don't encourage him.
