Hamster

Lambert
John Watt is supposed to be looking
after Mister Nibbles, the biology lab hamster. When he
escapes and is mangled by John's cat, he thinks he's in
big trouble.
But when Bright finds Doctor Frankenstein's notebook and
puts Mister Nibbles back together again (with a few bits
of rat, gerbil, and guinea pig mixed in) and brings him
back to life, John realizes that his troubles are just
beginning. And that's before the reanimated Mister Nibbles
starts to grow...

The
2Steves say...
"When Steve Barlow went to infant school, they all
had to draw a picture of their pets and write about them,
and the teacher put their work up on the wall.
One of the boys in the class, called
Raymond, had drawn a very strange creature and underneath
it he'd written what looked like, "I have a monster."
Steve B said, "Raymond, you liar, you haven't got a
monster." He said, "It doesn't say 'monster',
it says 'hamster'." Thirty-odd years later, Steve B
remembered this and thought, "Wouldn't it be fun to
write a story about Frankenstein's Hamster?!" |
