The Ballad of Cocky the Fox so far: Cocky the fox, a handsome specimen of Vulpes vulpes living on the edge of an English town, is in trouble. His mentor Holiday Bob, top fox in the Borough, is dead. His family life has collapsed, and he’s moved in with his friend Champion, a distressed albino rabbit. His enemies are everywhere. And he’s been drinking a lot of aftershave.
In Fit the Second, Cocky employed his signature move, “the Cockinator,” to fight his way out of a tight spot; he descended into the rats’ lair and delivered macaroons to the rat-queen Mother Mercury; he was insulted by Otto, the Rottweiler who lives next door; and Minstrel the squirrel relayed the news that Cocky’s cousin, Billy Five Wives, is the new Borough boss.
The Sniffer Issue No. Two accompanies Fit the Second of The Ballad of Cocky the Fox. It features barley wine, East End gangsters, Jaffa Cakes and the Bristol Stool Form Scale. It can be downloaded from here.
