Pingu heaved himself out of his ice chair and waddled over to the door of the igloo, knocking over an ashtray and several cans of tuna. 
 
'Robby, hey', he tooted morosely.'Look I'm kinda busy right now.' 
 
 Robby pushed his way past; as the door opened Pingu caught a glimpse of his Promax 4000 SuperSled pulled up in the driveway. 
 
'Nonsense, Pingu. I have n't seen you for weeks. No one has. Pinga tells me she missed you at her annual charity fish dive, you could at least have made that.' 
 
'I did n't feel like it'. Pingu waddled back in as Robby pulled the curtains open and light flooded the igloo. 
 
'And what's this Pin?' 
 
 Pingu sat back down in his chair with a heavy squelch.' 
 
'Tuna. Tinned tuna. I thought we'd moved past that, eh buddy? You know I can help you.' 
 
'I do n't want your damn money, Robby.' 
 
'Look, Pingu', Robby fixed Pingu with a beady stare over his full, glossy whiskers,'You got ta clean up. You got ta kick the tin, man.' 
 
'Fuck you Robby. You do n't know what it's like. They made the new series. Did you hear the sodding theme tune? They gave me teeth, Robby. Teeth! The humanity! And what they're speaking now, it's not Penguinese. And the Hasselhoff single. Jeez. I got nothing left.' 
 
'You just do n't sound like yourself any more, Pingu. You got ta move with the times. Franchise yourself. Get out there and hit up the movie execs. They'll have you back.' 
 
'Face it Robby, it's over. I'm just a useless piece of clay in a clay fucking igloo. Stop motion is dead, Robby, it's all about CGI now. There's no place for me.' 
 
 Robby looked into the sunken eyes of his penguin friend. He saw there was nothing to be done. The SuperSled threw up a pound of old snow against the igloo door as he rolled away, saddened. He slipped a cd into the drive. `` Pingu Dance''. It always cheered him up. 
 
 Pingu closed the curtains and sat back down.'Toot toot', he muttered sadly,'meep meep, noop noooop'. He opened another can of tuna.
