By the way, in case you’re wondering what was in the letter from Doll Splinter to Egg O, you know, the one is refused to read out of spite because Spud was so interested, well, he did read it eventually and it is the reason he is so cantankerous now. In it, Doll Splinter explained to him, in tones of great excitement, that she is standing in the General Selection! She is representing the Rock Party and is up against The Paper Party and the Scissors Party and unfortunately Egg O cannot vote or for that matter, be a candidate. This is because he is in PRISON and prisoners are denied the vote!

Hard to believe I know but there it is.

And in case you are wondering if Spud is recovering-he is! He loves lots of attention and the doctors and nurses are buttering him up like anything.
