Secrets: Mad Murphy strikes again! This time the hooligan penguin poses as an English gentleman. Still trying to kick the cigarette habit (his nicotine patch is still firmly in place) Murphy blows soap bubbles with his pipe. A Harmony Ball tie is draped nonchalantly over his shoulder. In an effort to appear learned he has borrowed a pile of books from the library - and what an assortment he’s selected. The first describes the dangers of collecting. “Berk’s Peerage” refers to “Burke’s Peerage,” a not-entirely-accurate British genealogical directory. “Bernie the Beagle” refers to the beloved pet belonging to the family of “Queen’s Courier” editor Kim Cinko. “The Pop-Up Kama Sutra” defies description. Murph’s jar of bubbles props up some of the books. The mouse peeks out from under a tail feather. On the interior lies a book entitled “Indy Clubs,” commemorating HK’s growing network of authorised independent clubs.
