I do have the dubious honor of introducing Harv to the group, Think "hog calling" and "squeegee". It's nice to see that Harv, to use a Southernism, has managed to get above his raising, though to me he'll always be that lovable, amorous, long-haul trucker who's absolute devotion to his porcine princess Vera is a testament and inspiration.

Oops! I guess I mis-remembered because when I wrote my first installment, VR had been saying that he was going to write a Harv and Vera story soon, and that got me confused. Looking back, yes, indeed, Taylor was the originator of Harv.

A prequel! Yes, go for it, pshrynk! There must be quite a back-story there.

zelda_pinwheel · 02-16-2009, 04:16 PM

oh, i would love to hear how it all started...

Patricia · 02-16-2009, 04:29 PM

I'm sure that it all grew out of those socks... At any rate, they comment on the action in the manner of a Greek Chorus and, like said Chorus, provide the voice of reason.

Harv strained at his bindings. No use. They were quite well tied. "Biggles?" he said.

"Right here!" came the voice from behind him.

"Can you get out of the ropes?"

"Let me see, here." There was the sound of movement behind him. "Right! I can... Yes, I can just..." More scraping. "Yes! I can definitely say that the ropes are tied in a very professional fashiona and there is no hope of me slipping out of them!"

"Was it necessary to complement the guy who tied us up?"

"Well, credit due and all that, old boy!"

There was more scraping and a loud thud behind Harv. "I do believe that I have fallen over and there is still no means of slipping these ropes!"

"That's good to know. Now I won't try that myself, since that was right at the top of my list of things to do right now!"

"Glad to be of assistance, old boy!"

The door to the snmall room they were being held in slammed open. "Trying to make an escape were we?" asked a heavily accented voice.

"No, not really. Trynig to get out of these ropes, actually. Then, we may have gone on to making an escape."

"Sarcasm, Mr Wallbager? I would have thought that you would be past that at this moment, hmm?"

A short man with a quite pointy chin, a dueling scar, and a monacle came into Harv's view. "We will have to see about your use of sarcasm. We will have to ceratinly see..."

Von Schlepwig rounded on Harv's head with a pistol butt in his hand. Briefly, stars popped out all over, then went black.

Outside the window, three doggy shaped shadows clung to the side of the building.

"Oh! Senor Vivaldi! Was that truly Harv of your magnificent stories we just heard getting bashed on the head?" asked George.

"Sounds like. There's ususally a hollow goning sound like that when he gets conked."

"Do you think he would give me his autograph when he wakes up?"

"I'd say we should do something to make sure he wakes up first, wouldn't you say?"

"Oh, but he's Harv! He always gets away just in the nick of time!"

"No, he gets away, mostly long before any trouble starts. I just write him so that he gets away in the nick of time. Who wants to read a stroy about how the hero gets out of the room and goes out dringking for three or four hours before staggering back and tripping over the bad guys?

"Where is this Taxi Boss and the head of the Chihuahua Cartel, that I just joined? We may need back up!"

VR, don't tell them Harv isn't a hero! If you disillusion them too much, they may not want to help you anymore (or share their bacon, even!) Tell them things like "Harv always gets away in the nick of time, but that's because he has help from loyal friends!"

Or not, whatever.

I don't recognize the name, but that description certainly sound like the Bad Guy in Rocky & Bullwinkle!! Oh yes, Boris. (Where's Natasha?) So that's what Boris' last name was? Or maybe it's a distant relative.....

Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. However, Boris was chubby and wore a black fedora.

Fearless Leader on the other hand...
