One of these exotic birds is the "Beagle-Beaked-Bald-Headed Grinch" who looks a real sourpuss. In one episode he meets Fanny Sourpuss whose husband has just died. Dalle was with the band Sourpuss at the time. The sequel, "Sourpuss and Sweetie Pie", was published in 2008. In 1964 he portrayed a sourpuss in the campy movie "Get Yourself A College Girl".
