Why the Long Face?

...'Because I'm an emergency Blip!'

He seemed to sense that he was a last resort and that I wouldn't do him justice so, stubbornly (because he's a mule - see what I did there?), refused to look at me. That's why there's a branch in front of his face, as the only way I could get anything but a side view was to duck under the tree he was standing next to.

If someone finds my mojo, could I have it back please?
