Robbie Porter, who has died, was a drabble aficionado notorious for his downright degenerate drabbles. Running themes included children getting their comeuppance (in a range of increasingly gruesome ways) for ignoring parents and a cat, Mrs. Twiddles, described (by Porter himself) as one of the most depraved characters in the whole of literature.

Drabble suited Porter because his warped imagination was best served in short bursts and that coincidentally was the most his readers could cope with.

He lived a life of domestic tranquillity in Worcestershire, and didn’t actually have a cat.

We doubt he’ll be remembered, let alone missed.

    I'm glad the category wasn't True Stories Told As Fiction!

    A very amusing and creative drabble, by the way.
