Imagine a giant. A psychopathic giant. Now distil all that anger and violence down into a frame under 5 feet high. Dress him in ratskin trousers, but don't bother with a shirt. Give him a couple of bandoliers on which to hang all those useful little tools of violence. Oh, and best give him a cigar, too, before he just takes it off of you. And a drink. Several drinks.
