The examples create a fascinating sketch of a character. A man who takes tickets (except when he's away), who owns a merry-go-round (seriously, who doesn't envy him!) whose potential to be in certain places causes alarm to young girls, and who is somehow and tenuously connected with the absconsion of a lap-robe. Aaron Blipper, indeed!

Ah, the Bobbsey Twins. How I loved them in my youth. Sadly, I don't recall Mr. Blipper, but a lap-robe of mine did go missing at one point....

My favorite Bobbsey Twins book was the one where they went to Hawaii. At one point Freddy and Flossy had to flee barefoot from the ever-accelerating lava flow that was headed their direction.
I think the eruption resulted from Pele's anger because some tourist had made off with one of her favorite lap-robes.
That damned Blipper!
