Patrick's first duty at Hopp's Store


Sketch of Hopp's Store - courtesy of Lee Mothes


Greetings from the middle of the road - Sheffield Desert,

This is the only known picture of Hopp's Store - Bernard told me that the artist is quite the fellow and seems to appear out of nowhere every now and then.  When he pops up again, perhaps he will sketch a new one; so for the time being this is what it looks like for those of you who haven't traveled the road between Davoo to Smiley and then on to Fillmore.

You won't believe my first job duty as Bernard's assistant - yes, folks I am to start digging for a new privy; the current one has seen better days!  Now don't go jumping on the next jitney to come and try it out!  I'll post when it is open for business and Bernard says he'll be the first one to christen it!  

Gee, here I thought he'd let me organize his comic books, but it appears that he has his own Hopp's decimal system for organizing them. Boxes and boxes of them and he can lay his hands on a request so quickly its like magic; when he is in the mood to bargain.  

The wall display behind the counter is a site to be hold, those are the precious ones, or so I've been told, only Bernard touches them. 

Patrick, privy digger for the time being.......
