My Flesh & Fur deuteragonist, Jobe, has already been eaten by six Disney villains, one of whom has eaten him twice -- Legend of Tarzan villains Tublat, the evil gorilla, and Kaj, the evil Leopard Man who worked in the service of Queen La, Merlock, the main villain of Duck Tales: the Movie - Raiders of the Lost Lamp, even a human predator, Stromboli, the gypsy serving as a minor villain from Pinocchio, the feral form of the evil Shere Khan from The Jungle Book, the anthro form of Shere Khan from Tale Spin, and, most recently, Tick-Tock, the evil, Hook-obsessed crocodile from Peter Pan! We will again continue this series of comics involving Jobe getting eaten by more of my favorite Disney villains. As I have said before, 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 Tick-Tock and has now moved on to the opera house of an unnamed city (as far as I know, at least), where he will meet his next villain: the evil, fame-starved Sewernose de Bergerac, a one-shot villain from Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers. And just like the previous winners, this encounter will obviously end the same way it did with all of the others. . . .

Jobe stood in the middle of a very elaborate dressing room, looking around. It was a dressing room that contained a chair, a vanity mirror, a makeup table, and various costumes hanging from the walls.
As he looked around, he said, “Where am I now? Is this . . . a dressing room?”
He had been in dressing rooms before, so he knew one when he saw one. This gave him hope that he was finally where he wanted to be.
“Could I . . . be back in Motet?” he said to himself, looking hopeful and smiling for the first time in a while. “Is this one of our dressing rooms?”
He looked around some, this time looking at the dressing room more closely to make sure that it was a dressing room in the concert hall of his home city, Motet.
Then, he sadly hung his head and sighed. “No, not quite,” he said. “This is an elegant dressing room, but not a Motet dressing room.” He looked to his side. “I am still lost, I suppose. It is time to see whom I can find to aid me now.” Looking straight ahead, he added, “Aid me . . . or eat me.”
This had been the crux of Jobe’s predicament. Over the last several days, he’d been appearing in different worlds outside of his own, part of a sudden, unexpected, makeshift journey that had fatefully started several days ago, when a visit to his cross-world “Internet buddy,” Dr. Sarah Corwen, had led to him encountering a super-intelligent gorilla, Gorilla Grodd, who had eaten him for lunch and digested him. From there, Jobe he had encountered many other predators in several other worlds — the evil, feral gorilla, Tublat, the hungry Leopard Man, Kaj, the malevolent wolf magician, Merlock, the sinister human gypsy, Stromboli (surprisingly, not the first human predator whom Jobe had encountered in his life!), the terrible feral tiger, Shere Khan, the anthropomorphic version of the same tiger, and, most recently, the evil crocodile, Tick-Tock.
Now, here in this dressing room, he was more than certain that he would encounter yet another hungry predator waiting to eat and digest him. He hoped that that wouldn’t be the case, but he knew that the possible was a big one. . . .
