Marvin is too fat

The other night I heard Marvin making strange noises in the bedroom, sounds like he was upset about something. I went in to investigate and discovered that he’d been playing in my overalls (that were on the floor of the bedroom) and had got stuck in one the holes.

He’d crawled through the hole and got his front legs through it, but the hole wasn’t big enough to go over his big belly. He couldn’t get his front legs back through the hole because it caught on his elbows, so he was stuck. And getting very angry at the overalls.

Stuck fast

Not happy about being stuck in there.

I tried to help him out, but then he got angry at me. Even Bugalugs tried to help:

But that just made things worse. So then I held firmly onto the overalls while Marvin pulled and pulled, but he couldn’t get himself out:

Keep pulling!

Pulling really hard to get out, but firmly stuck.

In the end I decided to sacrifice the overalls, because Marvin was firmly stuck.

Getting frustrated

Giving up for a while.

When I came back with some scissors he’d managed to free himself (I don’t know how). This is the hole he was stuck in.

I found Marvin hid under the dining table waiting for me to put the overalls away.
