DAYS OF OUR WORLD - THAT'S A LOTTA ENCHILADA

Long ago in the sleepy little queendom of NESOPOTAMIA keeping with the affairs of state the EVIL QUEEN entered into a state of affair. The lucky lover was none other than the swarthy TIO TAMALE. EQ loves SPICY things.

The product of this troubled tryst begat a baby. This LOVE CHILD was whisked off to the province of LOWELL where the bouncing baby boy was raised as IVAN MCDOO and he became the best bean counter in all of the queendom.

After a stint with the LOWELL SOCIAL CLUB (TIO said, "That's my bambino!") IVAN was brought to EQ'S private garden to keep track of her beans. Now everyone knows that beans are a magical, musical fruit and EQ loves to pass off protection of the status quo to her main minstrel.
