[ch-] Charlie Brown is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop where he works. Instead of diligently doing his job, he is instead being 馋 gluttonous. He has a huge pile of frozen 饣 food that sits on top of a huge block of 冫 ice that he has placed on the pawn shop display counter. He opens one package of 饣 food after another, eating it whole after zapping it in a second-hand microwave he has behind the counter. A 免 hare comes in the shop looking for something to buy and goes up to the huge XXL Charlie Brown who just grabs him and eats him too. What turned Charlie Brown into this 馋 gluttonous beast?! Maybe he is just bored at his first job.
