“Who are those two characters in the black top hats that look like mini undertakers?” I asked.
“They are Noids” said Sprite. “I thought they were Sensual Dabrowski’s fleas or friends of Wistful Black Dog but Intellectual Dabrowski said they were a Pair O’ Noids. They are Black Hat Thinking Consultants. They go around in pairs and worry about stuff!”
