Backstory: Honestly, Chanticleer didn’t even remember how he wound up in that hot tub that night.
He’d only come downtown to pick up his royalty check. Another argument with Pinky had left him in need of a drink, so he’d stopped in at the nearest hole-in-the-wall he could find. That’s where things got fuzzy.
What his memory left out was that he’d gotten shitfaced and run right into Pinky again just outside the bar. Pretty coincidental. He’d drunkenly started apologizing to Pinky for raising his voice even as the big fox led him into a limo, and then out of that limo into a hotel, and then out of his clothes and into a hot tub. Chanticleer kinda got slutty when he was drunk, so he was propositioning every other occupant of the tub like his ass was on sale.
He may or may not have gotten plowed by more than a few high-class hotel customers while Pinky got a few fat stacks of cash for his trouble. But the important thing was that he wound up in the bedroom of the king of a Pacific island micronation-resort with exactly the kind of name you’d expect something of the like to have. That part he remembered. He’d actually really liked the guy. Nice, funny, cuddly, he made an old washed-up rock star feel young again. Chanticleer had felt disappointed when he’d woken up alone to exit the hotel and get back home.
So it was pretty surprising when the guy showed up back at the farm.

Commentary: The original PSD for this one (the full drawing that’s 5x the size and doesn’t have the dialogue) has been lost over the years. Not sure what happened to it. It made this one much harder to remaster than others, and I think it shows.
I’m not terribly happy with it, but then I look at it compared to the original and I forget what I was unhappy with, because GOD. I’m kinda wondering if how awful the original looked is why no one’s requested a sequel to this one, honestly.
Also apparently Dedede isn’t a penguin??? He’s just a fat eagle???
