My Flesh & Fur deuteragonist, Jobe, has already been eaten by three Disney villains -- Legend of Tarzan villains Tublat, the evil gorilla, and Kaj, the evil Leopard Man who worked in the service of Queen La, and Merlock, the main villain of Duck Tales: the Movie - Raiders of the Lost Lamp. Now we continue this series of comics involving Jobe getting eaten by more of my favorite Disney villains. As I have already said, I'd always imagined them making meals out of me. As Jobe is based on me, appearance-wise and personality-wise, he'd be the closest thing I could have to me getting eaten by these villains myself. So I could live it vicariously through him, so to speak.

In this short story, Jobe has re-formed from his digestion by Merlock and has now moved on to an Italian city in a different Disney world. And in this city, he meets his next villain: the evil gypsy/puppeteer Stromboli from Pinocchio. Unlike Tublat, Kaj, and Merlock, Stromboli is actually human, and because of this, Jobe is very certain that his encounter with Stromboli will not end the same way. But just as before, he will be wrong. . . .

I must thank  ViceXXX for being willing to try something new. He's been, up to now, unwilling to do human preds, mostly thanks to how difficult he would find them to do. But now that he's finally conquered the challenge and done one, I hope he's willing to do more for me and quite possibly for others down the road!

Jobe nodded and followed Stromboli inside. Immediately, he saw that this was where all of his puppets were. Puppets of many shapes, sizes, and colors hung all over the inside of the wagon, waiting for use. They looked they were dressed up for different occasions, or for appearances in different countries, all of which Stromboli had visited on his travels. Also there was a long, wooden table on which the fat gypsy counted his money at the end of each puppet show he put on.
As Jobe walked with Stromboli, he admired the view of the wagon for a moment. But then, eager to return home, he returned to his business.
"I was told by two men that you are a gypsy who can aid me in going home to my world," Jobe said.
Stromboli turned to look at Jobe in surprise. "Going home?" he said. Then, he closed his eyes in ecstasy and burst out laughing. "Ohohohoho! Going home!"
Jobe had no idea why, but Stromboli’s laughter proved infectious and contagious. He started to smile at this. He knew not what it was at which the large gypsy was laughing, but he nonetheless felt like doing so, as well.
So he did. As Stromboli continued laughing, Jobe did, too, as Stromboli led him across the room, suspecting nothing as he followed him.
At last, they neared his table, both still laughing. But as they got to it, Stromboli reached down and picked Jobe up around his waist to carry him the rest of the way to the table. By now, he actually had him in the air, and Jobe was still laughing as he only barely noticed Stromboli holding him.
And then, the trap was sprung.
SLAM!
Stromboli's true colors were finally revealed as he actually slammed Jobe down hard onto the table, on his back, an evil look on his face as he did so. Jobe cringed at the pain as he hit the table.
