Prepare for a Meat Blockade surprise next week...

“Just as Berenger is about to be sold off as a slave to Jacob the Concierge, fortune arrives in the form of a certain boisterous and polka-loving law enforcer. But what other ‘friends’ will join Karl in an unexpected reunion? Meanwhile, Kathy Pedroast searches the platypi-infested streets of Nighttown for his missing brother, Gremauld… On the airwaves, Smoothy Juicy continues to deliver updates on the mutant platypi attacks (or Platypocalypse) and conducts an interview with a grammatically incorrect Mayor Raymond Kohler, until he receives a surprise phone call from an old furry friend…”

“Arriving at the Slave Market after a smelly and musical voyage down the sewage rivers beneath Nighttown, Berenger nervously lies in wait to be sold off as a slave in an auction before an uproarious crowd of ruffian mutant frogs. How can he escape from the clutches of these rotten tomato-tossing amphibians? And what familiar ghastly knave takes a mischievous interest in making a bid for Berenger's life as his personal slave? Smoothy Juicy takes it upon himself to relieve Kip Foghorn of his Nighttown News duties in order to jazz things up a bit while Mrs. Fitch continues to report escalating tensions at the Midtown Train wreckage, where strange creatures are spotted rising out of the smoke and making unsettling quacking noises…”

“Escaping from the monstrous clutches of Gremauld, Berenger is rescued by a vindictive band of mutant frogs on a creaky ship making their way down the mucky sewage rivers beneath Nighttown. Who is this “King of the Frogs” to whom these “muckety-muck” amphibians profess their devotion? And what sinister plans do they have for the ever inauspicious Berenger? Kip Foghorn of Nighttown News provides updates on the mysterious Midtown Train explosion while Smoothy Juicy returns to his disc jockey duties to play more of your favorite smooth jazz classics, whether you like it or not…”

“After escaping from a crowd of zombie-like creatures, Berenger discovers a strange restaurant in the sewers beneath Nighttown called ‘Kathy’s American Café’. What is this ‘chef surprise’ that the owner, Kathy Pedroast, insists on serving? And why does his brother, Gremauld, roar like a terrifying beast from the kitchen? Back in the radio world, Chief Inspector Fry takes his love of polka music to an obsessive level while enjoying his new job as a radio DJ…“

Evidence

“While at Club Lux Aeterna, Berenger is told by the club's concierge that the manager of the establishment would like to have a word with him. But who, really, is this manager? And what are those groaning sounds coming from beneath the floorboards? On the airwaves, Chief Inspector Fry attempts to educate the philistines Catman and Smoothy Juicy on the quality of polka music…“
