The Fab Five have invited some friends for a very English adventure on a double decker bus. The bus’s destination, Harmony Gardens, is displayed on the front. The sides are emblazoned with advertisements for the London Zoo and Battersea Dogs’ Home, a rescue society for dogs and cats. Dog that he is, Wolfie can’t resist hanging his head out the open window, even though he’s driving. The rest of the gang are all crowded on top. The Garden Prince doesn’t seem to appreciate Cricket Charlie’s bluesy sax. Lord Byron, sporting a baby bottle, beams at Annabella and their little bug, enjoying the air. Peter’s “Mouse That Roared” peeks over Annabella’s shoulder, and behind him Bumbles munches on a snack, as usual. Ever the techno-cat, Minx makes a call on her cell phone. The incorrigible Mad Murphy poses as the conductor with his cap and bag. The bus’s license plate reads “HK202,” an abbreviation for Harmony Kingdom 2002. On the interior, Tubs the Turtle makes a few mechanical repairs. Charter Year members with seven consecutive years of membership have the opportunity to purchase a special edition, showing Tubs rolling lucky sevens on a pair of dice. |
