Hank didn’t care that act had won the Most Unconvincing Bear Award six years running. He had been practicing on his flugelhorn, and he was sure that this season would be different.
The crowds were going to love the new routine: the breathtaking flugel-glissandos, the ursine feel to the dance, and his hat. God, they were going to love the tassly bits on his hat.
Carl had no such illusions. He did, however, pray for the sweet release of death.
I would have liked to hear those “breathtaking flugel-glissandos.” I bet they would be great.
Carl looks like he’s about to launch an attack, and I’m quite sure its not completely unprovoked.
