He looks like a hairy, scary version of Gregory Peck.  But that's just me.

Use him as bait and catch that blubbery bastard!

Great to have you back Gus. Tell those whale-worshippers that if they spare you & your crew, & help you find Princess Sybil & the Blubbery B, you can cash in on the 1,000,100 total reward & donate it to Greenpeace in their name, for the benefit of all whales.  Hope that works. 

Triple-yikes, Gus is that you?  Those cruel bastards, how could they do that to you?  Part your hair on the other side, I mean?  Oh, the humanity! 

If you have any contacts in the rubber industry, perhaps you could pull some strings and get the Goodyear blimp into a suitable paint job and have it loom overhead singing "Free Bob the Rat and Gus Openshaw & Crew.  I, Bulbuous, demand it!"  If you can't get the blimp can someone edit a few tortillas? 

Tell them when you get better you will bring them to Princess Sybil, because you know where they are. But, the condition is that the Royal Conchian Navy and the Tortolian Navy stay at least so many feet away and leave a helicopter......or she dies....

Apparently, this is the King of Conch: not a very suave de-boner, I must say. Rather than editing tortillas, how about a few weeping whale icons? Very easy to facilitate, I'm sure there's an instruction manual somewhere. Unfortunately, probably in Latin or Old Conchian or some other classy dead liturgical lingo like that.
