There once was a surgeon named Brad,
a harsh spouse and impossible dad.
His wife, to get even,
laced chipped beef with cheese in.
T’was the last dish that he ever had!
Appearing in early September 2017 in the retronymic Instagram series, Days of Our Past Lives (2017-2018)—first with Rosemary, then with a mushroom, then a carrot, and then a goose—Brad the Surgeon is Nurse Janet’s husband, Missy the Prom Queen’s father, Mother Chip’s son, and the only character in the Mr. Funny Bones pantheon who likes crock pot creamy chipped beef and cheese made with ground beef. He plays walk-on roles in Dead on a Rival: The Case of the Crock-Pot Killer (2018; chapter 16) and Pandemonium: A Mr. Funny Bones Days of Our Past Lives COVID-19 Reunion (2020). Brad is one of several characters named in Little Hope: A Minor Tragedy: A Mr. Funny Bones Long Short Story (2019).
