Papa Walrus

Papa Walrus is a folk singer from the 60s who has become known in recent decades for the music he writes and performs for children. The only problem is, as times have changed, and what’s considered politically correct has evolved, Papa hasn’t changed at all. As a result, his songs are often unintentionally racist or offensive. Ever stuck in the dream of the 1960s, Papa remains sweet, peaceful, and blissfully ignorant, and Holly has a very tough time getting through to him. Papa has been friends with Morton Snail for decades, and Morton may be Holly’s only hope for trying to help Papa get the message and clean up his songs.
