Lester Moore is a recurring character in my Long Division book series. He is a horny, wise-cracking beaver who became friends with Roy Carrara when they served in the US Army together. He may play a minor role, but Lester has become my absolute favorite character to write for.

This drawing by  S00T was inspired by a chat that takes place between Lester and Roy in Long Division Book II: The Storm. That book and two others in the series are available for purchase now in both paperback and electronic formats at http://www.ld-books.com/.

Please fave the original in S00T’s gallery here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/41436872/ and while you are visiting, check out the other great art that you’ll find there.

From “Eager Beavers”

“So I know the two of you met at night school,” said Roy, changing the subject, “but we kind of lost touch.  How’s that all going?  Is she an accountant too?”

“She’s the accountant.  Runs a nice little tax preparation business.”  The beaver waved his paw dismissively.  “It turns out accounting just wasn’t for me,” he said.

“Lester, you don’t fool me for a minute.”  Roy pointed an accusing finger at his old pal.  “What on Earth did you do?”

“It was nothing.  Blown way out of proportion.”

“Lester…”

“I know my pencil chewing drove you crazy, but at least you had a sense of humor about it.”

“Lester!  In accounting school?”

“Look, it was only one box… technically.  Like I said, blown way out of proportion.”

Roy narrowed his eyes.  “What do you mean by ‘technically’ one box?”

“The other one already had a few pencils missing.”  Lester rolled his eyes.  “I still don’t see why it was such a big deal.  Way out of proportion,” he asserted once more.
