What characters can I expect to see in Tuppenny Rice? Velouria A tragic Victorian heroine and part-time poster child for the doomed generation. Velouria has impeccable manners, she is polite to all and sundry and never without a kind word for anyone or anything. Living in an anachronistic world Velouria is invited to the opening of a new club "Inferno" where she is untimely poisoned. In her last few remaining hours she must uncover her killer and bring him to justice. And will those hours spent in finishing school actually pay off? Oberon Van Hellsink The quintessential walking encyclopaedia of arcane lore, folk tales, mythology. Oberon has seen it all, studied it, done battle with it and played chess with it on Thursday nights. Nothing surprises or surpasses this man. His job is to educate one and all about the forces of darkness and how to defeat them. He is currently undergoing an extensive study as to why estate agents are able to with stand sunlight for so long. Otto Von Pudding Briefly makes his appearance as the host of the comic. He survived the Boer War, wrestled elephants in Burma and has even laughed back at hyenas. A man of courage and conviction and questionable hunting trophies. When we asked him to introduce the comic he said he would be delighted. I Quinine ME Initially a doctor of flesh and blood, but our artist rendered him as a robot. If job satisfaction and working in a morgue ever combined then Quinine would be there. Essentially a parody of the all too familiar forensic pop-science programs. Some might question Doctor Quinine's methods.
