You probably already know that Mousie likes to travel. It's one of the great advantages accorded to the pocket-sized in the world. But as wonderful as it is, travelling can also be stressful and lonely. Mousie often travels with Flippers and Basil because it is more fun to share the travelling experience with friends, but Mousie can get squeaky, Flippers is sometimes prickly, and Basil can be a bit of a bear, as is frankly true with everyone at some point or other. That's what makes it so awesome to meet other new travelling friends. They have colorful stories of all sorts of adventures and each one brings a slightly new perspective on the world.
Taylor the Toucan is a particularly colorful character.
Well travelled, too, with a goofy sense of humour. Taylor is a little too big for most pockets so usually travels via backpack. Of most interest to Mousie and the gang, however, was Taylor's enormous nose - it's HUGE! Mousie thinks he might be related to Taylor's nose - he thinks Taylor might be a Jewcan.
On the same trip where the gang met Taylor, they were also introduced to a somewhat more mysterious character who goes by the pointedly opaque name of "The Pig."
Whatever the reality of Le Pig's missions of international espionage, he was very friendly and personable. While only vaguely communicative about his travels, Herr Pig has clearly covered much of the globe and developed many interesting relationships in far-off places. Pig-san was not as silly as Mousie, but preferred Basil's reserved and quiet gentility.
Sheik al-Pig clearly enjoys his globetrotting, but equally enjoyed the relaxation of not having to work so hard at being Intenational Pig of Mystery but rather, simply his piggy self. I think we'll be seeing more of him - maybe once he's become International Pig of Leisure.
Pekoe is a goofball. Pekoe is an acrobat. Pekoe is a conversationalist. Pekoe is shameless. Pekoe is hungry. Pekoe is a fool.

Mousie went for a scamper on the beach and came upon this GIGANTIC dragon, lolling about in the surf. In this picture the dragon looks tiny, but that's because it is so far away. Mousie did go right up to say hello - the dragon was quite friendly and rather quiet and shy, with lots of birds relaxing on its huge back - but didn't take a picture because the dragon was so big even one nostril would have been too big for the photograph! Don't tell the dragon, but Mousie thought it was rather fat. Just look at that huge body! I wonder what this particular dragon eats?
