The Whos don't really talk about it much. It's been a mystery for years, but everytime someone asks that question, the normally loquacious Whos shut down and refuse to talk. Of course, there are rumors of missing Whos and such, but nothing is confirmed. We may never know.

They never did find Cindy Lou after that mysterious incident with the emaciated green fop and his hound.

Ah, but there is no evidence of foul play. All reports note that the emaciated one became friends with the Whos.

Has anyone checked the contents of that enormous bag the hound carries, day and night, all through the year, that only empties at yuletide? The emaciated one's frequent trips to the craggy lair seem suspicious to me.

Well, I'm just reporting what is known -- I leave the investigation to the police.

Sage advice.

Or at least thymely.

So he *said*

He said he was their friend. But note how he usurped the traditional paterfamilias role of carving the roast beast—which he had stolen and returned. Did any of the Whos get a good look at that roast before it was carved?
