We called him Kipper because he was two faced and spineless :)

But... when it became clear that he was not long for this world, his fellow
employees at the canning factory felt really bad about the shabby way in which
they had treated him and vowed to work extra hard in his memory.  "Let's tin one
for the Ol' Kipper", they cried!

With insincere apologies,

(I was too dense for the red hare ring.)   :-(

But I don't want to give it away too soon, so I'll just say FM.

That's what I guessed too, but it doesn't seem to fit the clue.

I've got the clue but it doesn't seem to fit the image :-)

I'll just confirm what everyone suspects...
They are indeed "field mice".

The clue, "Offensive to the Max, ...well?",
eludes to Maxwell's "field" equations.
(Too obscure for most groups, but I figured I
could get away with it here.)


Best Regards,
Mike C.

well, I was thinking of a magnetic monopole but the mice made no sense :-)

	Well, I did get the clue, but I had to look up the Field Mice on
Google before I understood the pun...
