Last month I sent out a call for any fictional characters willing to join with me and the other members of the Fictional Characters for Real Life Social Change Working Group in coming up with new options for equity, mutuality, and the Good Life for all the Real Life idiots who are screwing the whole thing up. Imagine my surprise at my first response:
Mornin' Little Lady, let me handle this hen-fest of yours. You needin justice, you hankerin for some mutuality, I'm can tell you what to do, honey. You watch out for those dawgs and wiseacres. You got a problem with them, just tell'em about your friend Foghorn, and they'll bescatter.
Don't you go listenin to the Fudd or that dame from Kansas, you need me. I'll help you darling. First thing you need is a head, and that's right, I'll do it for the missus.
Wendy, I know, you know I know, that we're both busy. I'm serious about giving you gals a hand, but don't expect me at your meetins.
Got some important work to do here.
Mr. Foghorn Leghorn

Ask Wendy replies:
Mr. Foghorn, sir…why…I’m overwhelmed. I know Prince Andrei of War and Peace, and Dr. Manette of Tale of Two Cities, and all the other members of the Fictional Characters for Real Life Social Change Working Group join me in welcoming you to the club. We all need to work together on this one, sir. And, by the way, if you see Pepe le Phew, please invite him to join us, too.
(Good heavens, who will pop up next? if you are, or you know of, a fictional character with a social conscience willing to join in our work, contact Wendy Darling at askwendy@exterminatingangel.com)
