Mr Annable has developed a very dark obsession lately, drawing hideous dwarfs to perturb children’s minds, so they wee their beds and wake up their parents with their high-pitched cries at night. He’s one of those artists with too many dark secrets, who would probably have been burnt for diabolical practices several centuries ago.
