Ha, ha, good stuff, Mike. Professor Puff looks to be an interesting villain…. is his first name Phineas or Phileas (or some other such rambling), by chance?
Oh my gosh! It’s the evil non-threatening bird eating fish! He’s so devilishly cute! With a mustache and tophat =D TOTALLY reminds me of Bob the Killer Goldfish from Earth Worm Jim!
Shane - Yikes, I never did play Earthworm Jim - but wow, there’s definitely a striking similarity, right down to the dynamic between fish in a bowl and his big oafy henchman… just when I thought I was onto something fresh! I’m glad you’re enjoying the character though. I gotta admit he’s pretty fun to write.
Bruce - Thanks! Professor Phileas Puff it is (p.s. Speaking of references, I know you’re a big fan of a particular classic film, so you’ve probably also noticed the tip of the hat to the “Professor and Max” duo?).

You’re giving me waaaay too much credit for brains to think of something as clever as Phileas. Can I keep that? Please??

Go with it! I thought it would sound funny (phunny) as Professor Phileas Puff. Jules Verne-ish…
