Comic Strip Plot:

Leni jumped up and landed softly on the bar stool. She listened as a gentleman with salt-andpepper hair shouted “Shaken, not stirred!” and laughed. Oliver played along.“Your drink, Mister Bond,” teased Oliver, placing the martini glass on the counter. Leni enjoyed watching the Burg bar manager at work. She sniffed the air, smelling herbs, then noticed the two olives. Oliver finally turned the lights off and went to bed … and Leni’s cue to act! She ran back to the bar and worked quickly. After pawing the ingredients together, she took a whiff. “Not bad for a dog,” she thought. Then spilled the martini into her bowl. Dragica came around the corner as Leni chewed her 2nd olive. “Good morning” said the room service manager, “now that’s a good girl … day and night watching over our Burg so nothing strange happens!” Leni smiled and wagged her tail. When Dragica disappeared into the early dawn, Leni turned to her bowl lapping with a lively tongue. “Deeeelish! I’m the best bartender on four legs.”
