Though short sighted Ornithorhynchusologist, Bill D. Mamon, sensed a rat & ducked into the nearest library cubicle changing into the web-footed costume of Capt. Platypus!

He heard whispers but couldn't make them out so he stuck a snorkel through the stacks. Sure enough, Dr. Mamon/Capt. Platypus overheard Bill Dozer & Ken Crete plotting to wipe out

the hit song "Wipe Out" from every music library in the world. Bill Dozer & Ken Crete hated surf rock. But Dr. Mamon/Capt. Platypus would stop them by

taking them in his old VW van to his beachfront home. Donning a Hawaiian shirt, Mr Platypus forced Bill and Ken to listen to him play surf rock on the ukulele until they agreed to

take off their shirts and play wingmen on his advances towards the other cute platypus sunbathing on the beach. He adjusted his feathers and introduced himself as "Eduardo,

the Duke of--" Before he could finish a crocodile sprung out of the water and ate him. "You just ate Eduardo!" the cute platypus exclaimed. "A croc's gotta eat, honey," he said.

The Duke's family was devastated to find Eduardo was eaten, but they never found the murderer. The police mistakenly looked at the man eating rats in the sewer.

The man seemed unconcerned. "Don't worry about it, people make mistakes". he said as he chewed on a big rat and sat back higher in the sewer. The police crossed him off as a suspec

Outside, the first summer showers could be heard.
