I'm beginning to like Bucky more all the time. Apparently, Conley is a liberal and has allowed Rob to "win" this one over Bucky. A reflection of the artist's mind and feelings.
Doubly ironic when you know that the hippo is considered one of the most dangerous animals in Africa and kills more humans than "rogue lions"...just because they happen to be there. Hippos don't even eat meat...they're vegetarians. So killing something you really have no use for, because it's there...apt, old boy; terribly, cruelly apt.
