Dudley awakes with a hangover after a night on the town, and Susan lands a job as a circulation manager to Hugo, who is starting a new free magazine called Upper Crust; so titled because it is aimed at the upper crust of society. Susan's role is putting it through people's letterboxes, but fortunately she likes being out in the open air. Meanwhile Dudley's overseas syndication royalties on Barney the Bionic Bulldog arrive at Duncan's office; a pretty substantial amount. Duncan bids his secretary Wilma make out a cheque, but she points out that in all likelihood Dudley won't work anymore until he's spent the money. Duncan considers investing it for a year or two on Dudley's behalf and letting him have the interest - or some of it! - but the forthcoming arrival of an auditor rules this out. He decides to pop around to the Rush house to see if he can find a chink in Dudley's armour-plated idleness, hoping to persuade him to buy a new car and fill the tank with petrol. Meanwhile Susan drops in at Barlow Books to take the weight off her feet after swamping the top people of Hampstead with copies of Upper Crust; she has about fifty left, and persuades Jacqui to get rid of them for her on her way home. Hugo pays a call on Dudley, showing him a copy of the magazine; he feels it needs something to pep it up, and asks whether Dudley can draw a comic sketch rather like Barney - he will of course be handsomely paid. Lured by the thought of extra money, Dudley produces a folder marked 'Ideas Rejected By Duncan!' and proffers a few characters. Hugo rejects the effeminate Porky the Pirate as being politically incorrect and Freddy the Ferret as being "a bit cloth cap and muffler", but takes to the more upmarket Maurice the Mink, seeing him as an animal with whom his readers are more likely to identify. Dudley makes a start on the first page, and Duncan arrives and informs him about the money he has coming to him; Dudley decides to use it to convert the loft into an artists' studio, and calls in a Mr. Ryder to undertake the job. It then transpires that Wilma has added the date in with the amount of Dudley's royalties in the office ledger, making it 1,983 over...moreless
