Beginnings: Christmas in July!
July 28th, 2019 Posted 7:45 am
On Sundays we do beginnings. Today: Santa 365, one of the Chet and Bernie e-shorts. It starts like so:
“There’s no Santa Claus,” Charlie said.
“Who told you that?” said Bernie.
“Esmé.”
“Who’s Esmé?”
“At school.”
“Well,” said Bernie, “everyone has their own opinion.”
“It’s not an opinion, Dad,” said Charlie. “It’s a scientific fact.”
“Oh?”
“From a scientist.”
“Any scientist in particular?”
“Groucho Marx.”
“Esmé told you that?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Know much about Groucho Marx?”
Charlie shrugged his skinny little shoulders. “He was a scientist and he said there ain’t no Santa Claus.”
“What do Esmé’s parents do?”
“Drive her to school. Pick her up.”
“I meant for a living.”
“Like you’re a private eye?”
“Yeah. Like that.”
“I don’t think they’re private eyes,” Charlie said.
“Why not?”
“They’re rich.”

The Short of It
March 16th, 2019 Posted 7:54 am
In answer to some questions that have come up, there are 4 Chet and Bernie short stories, available from all the usual places. They are:
A CAT WAS INVOLVED – the C&B origin story.
THE IGGY CHRONICLES, VOLUME 1 – Iggy!
TAIL OF VENGEANCE – The story of the Teitelbaum Divorce, a nightmarish case Chet often refers to.
SANTA 365 – a Christmas mystery.
Anyone with change under a seat cushion can afford these! (Comment from Mrs. Publicist)

That’s the title of an old Elvis song. Here’s the Chet and Bernie e-short story that answers the question (sort of).
