Postscript

 

After Hardy Bangor fell on him, Von Waslbach quit and several supporting actors demanded more money. Because of this and more interruptions, the film lost it's backing and fell through. Toodles left Hollywood in disgrace. She vowed never to return. She and Raven Death Serpent never married as their careers pulled them in opposing directions. They still chance to meet occasionally in sleazy Indonesian bars for a wild night of passion. After getting his revenge on Toodles, Hop-a-long Charlemange married the dandy and moved to Bolivia. He was never charged with the murders of Inspector Wanker, Chief Inspector Gobbers, or Loopi. Hardy Bangor became a cliché. Professor Heavy and Nurse Jane never recovered from dying of Raspberry slime. Twelve years after Charlotte's death Pius also passed on. Their son Eric became an actor famous for his villainous characters. Charlotte was reincarnated as a suffering underrated artist. Pius, his friend, the Vicar, and the London businessman were all reincarnated as rock stars. Pius' new girlfriend wound up running away with the guitarist of his friend's band. This makes some sort of statement about Pius' character but this author is at a loss to explain what that might be. 'Ol Crow is dead. R. I. P. The accidental Death and Dismemberment salesman later got a job with the government incinerating nerve gas bombs. Giant Goerge, Jack the Rap, Manet, and Cézanne do not exist. Bitsy went into drug rehab. Mr. Frizby is not mentioned here. Sweet Caradoc did eventually rescue the Lady Crumpet, after much ballyhoo, from her tea and accompanying water biscuit of particular viciousness. The sad fate of Orange-Orange was that ten years after the blizzard in which she was lost, her remains were found less then one hundred feet from the house under the tire swing.
