Meet Grindle, a cartoon character reminiscent of a modern-day Scrooge with a personality as wooden and deceptive as Pinocchio's. He meticulously counts his coins, hoarding wealth like a dragon with its gold, refusing to share even a dime with his friends, who often strain under the weight of his greed. When caught in a lie about his financial dealings, his nose doesn’t grow, but his eyebrows furrow in crafty denial, perfectly masking the truth. Grindle’s tight-fisted ways often lead him into outrageous schemes, only to find that his dishonesty costs him far more than he could ever save.
