Orange Sherbet and Jessica Rabbit

by Linda Courtland

In a seedy strip club on the outskirts of Toontown, Jessica Rabbit works the pole with faux abandon. She used to be a famous lounge singer, even starred in a movie one time, but now she just shakes and slides, competing for attention with her flame-haired arch-nemesis, Orange Sherbet. As the sultry music swells and dirty paws stuff dollar bills in her aging G-string, she scans the crowd for Roger. Jessica knows her cheating, drunken husband is a sucker for carrot-tops. Meanwhile, in a curtained corner of the club reserved for lap dances, Roger shows Sherbet what rabbits do best. He whispers sweet lies when it's over, and she melts.

Excellent work, Linda! Nice to see the "bad side" of Toontown.

You made a funny setting come alive, and I can still see your characters in my mind. Thanks for brightening my day with your cleverness.

This is hilarious -- you did such a great job of packing so many clever nuggets into only 6 sentences. I love the carrot-top line, and how OS melts at the end. I hope to see more from you soon.
