The Bear Vanishes!

Just when I thought we were going to have Curly Bob back home safe and sound he has disappeared again. It seems he caught the TGV from Avignon but never arrived in Paris. The Gendarmerie are combing the streets of Paris as they do not believe he got off the train in between there and Avignon as the train doesn't stop between the two cities.

S.N.C.F. staff took the train to pieces starting with the most likely places (i.e. the bars- Ed) he was last seen in a buffet bar in 1st class regaling the crowd of onlookers and fans with his adventures. Several of them were journalists hoping for an exclusive interview. His witty dialogue was lubricated with copious free drinks and honey cocktails.

Everyone present does not remembers seeing him or anything else by the time the train reached Paris due to the excess of alcohol consumed by the happy gathering.

It is said the Gendarmerie have been told to locate Bob so they can make sure he actually leaves the country via Eurostar and doesn't embarrass the French government any further.

I received a missive from Bob a few minutes telling me not to worry and that he was safe and in good company.(this has to be in a honey den, bar or with a blonde or possibly all three!). As always, Bob knows his loyal fans are waiting for his next epic installment, so he has asked me to have me publish "Fence Post #1", a charcoal study.



More on his antics as soon as we know where he is.....
