The Slurb

Mr. Bruno Tasslespeare is a shy, mild-mannered man who lives a quiet, ordered life and makes a modest living as an umbrella designer. Almost everyone takes advantage of his good nature, especially his despotic boss, domineering landlady and pushy neighbor. But then a phenomenal, impish little creature appears out of nowhere and "adopts" Tasslespeare, turning his "grin and bear it" existence upside down and inside out.
