Pinky is just surprised that it wasn't noticed before.
Pinky Diablo is a Dallas area based preacher, retired zoo keeper, and trouble-maker for hire. Pinky has just left the zoo and will be making his mark in other ways around the metroplex.
While Pableau X and Granny D were on a recent trip to the Paducah moth collectors convention, Pinky discovered (by going through some files marked SECRET) that Pableau X and Granny D have been making loads of money off of him for the last 45 years. A Swiss bank account was set up in 1962 and has had regular deposits made since then. Pinky discovered photos that show him as a toddler wrestling with bunnies, puppies and other baby animals. Granny D and Pableau X have been selling these photos, first by mail and recently by email, to collectors of toddler/cute animal wrestling pics. Pinky feels ashamed and used, but feels obligated to speak out to stop this horrible perversion. (Pinky now understands his yearly Easter-time breakdowns.)

Did you know?
"Internecine" comes from the Latin "internecinus" ("fought to the death" or "destructive"), which traces to the verb "necare" ("to kill") and the prefix "inter-." ("Inter-" usually means "between" or "mutual" in Latin, but it can also indicate the completion of an action.) "Internecine" meant "deadly" when it appeared in English in 1663, but when Samuel Johnson entered it in his dictionary almost a century later, he was apparently misled by "inter-" and defined the word as "endeavouring mutual destruction." Johnson's definition was carried into later dictionaries, and before long his sen se was the dominant meaning of the word. "Internecine" developed the association with internal group conflict in the 20th century, and that's the most common sense today.
