This is Mr. Lucky's friend Steve way back in 2006 when he was younger and better looking. So you can imagine what he looks like now.
Teddie tolerates him, barely.

This is Morley the Morlock. He had a non-speaking role in that movie The Time Machine with Rod Taylor.
We learn in Chapter 9 that his "teeth were yellow stalactites; his nose looked like a green spaldeen that was run over by a fat lady's Cadillac."
This is a self-portrait he drew for a Dale Carnegie course.
Mr. Lucky never met a kinder, gentler Morlock.

Well, maybe "friend" is not the right word to describe Emiliano Zapata. Perhaps the Spanish word "compañero" is a better fit. After all, the bandito did hold Lucky for ransom. Still, he was nice enough to let the little bear go after FBI agent Frank Smith paid the ransom and lost a lot of money at cards.

Queen B, the Queen of Hearts, recently made a trip to Bavaria to stock up on beer. She gets tired of the Mad Hatter's tea parties.
Many a Croatian has lost his head over this Queen!

Now it can be told!
Mr. Lucky met these three loyal supporters of the Czar during his sojourn in Stalinist Russia.
Lucky helped to smuggle Stepan Stepanovich, Elizabeta, and Babushka to the relative safety of Howell, New Jersey in a top secret operation. They remain his lifelong tovarishchi.

AAl Einstein was the nicest Nobel Prize winning nuclear physicist Mr. Lucky ever met. He slept ten hours a day, loved to walk outside, took lots of naps, and hated to wear socks.

Winston Churchill was not a perfect man -- he had his faults, as do most poker players. However, Mr. Lucky always saw him as a half-American who helped to save the world from the nasty Nazis.
By the way, Lucky does a great imitation of Winnie's famous "fight on the beaches" speech. It's a hoot and a half to hear our teddy bear friend pronounce:
"We shall play poker on the beaches, we shall play poker on the landing grounds, we shall play poker in the fields and in the streets, we shall play poker in the hills; we shall never play Go Fish."
Historians agree: Mr. Lucky was the one who told Winston that he had the "V for Victory" sign turned the wrong way. I would explain what it means when the hand is turned the wrong way, but this is a family website.
