Rory Scherer has composed a clever and humorous 89 page tongue-in-cheek tale written with funny rhymes and cartoonish drawings. The story focuses on the devilish activities of a grossly fat and greedy gang leader in 1932, Fat Toni, a man with terrible bad breath, and his henchmen, including Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dumb, who demands and takes huge sums of money from local merchants for protection.Three merchants, a butcher, a baker, and a candlestick maker, are seriously affected by the gang taking their earnings, each affected in his interesting unique way, and each in his own way gains courage and decides he needs to fight Fat Toni. The three have a chance meeting, talk, and plot together to fight their oppressor. What they do is the narrative of the forthcoming Part 2.
