(Paperback)

Brian Lembeck - "Pulpy" - likes his office job, and he likes his gentle, figurine-collecting boss, Al. He likes his wife, Midge, too. Midge works as a candle-party hostess - she quit her office job when Al's dog ate her pet pigeon and Al promised Pulpy a promotion. But when Al retires and the tyrannical Dan takes over, the promotion vanishes.
