They don’t make ’em like William Shortpaw anymore. This firebrand started as a youngster selling newspapers for a nickel on the streets of New Mouse City. Over the years, his ingenuity, business savvy and hard work created the highly successful Rodent’s Gazette followed by other ventures in publishing, radio, television and internet news until The Stilton Media Group was born. Shortpaw had a dream and put whisker to the grindstone and did everything in his power to realize it. But as he got older, all that hard work took its toll. He has gone into semi-retirement and has handed over the reins of his vast media company to his grandson, Geronimo whom he thinks is the perfect candidate to take the family business far into the future. Well, that’s what he told his grandson, secretly Grandfather Shortpaw can’t ever let go. He keeps a watchful (yet loving) eye on how Geronimo is handling "his" company and will at times add some colorful comedy as he "help" his Grandson keep the company on track.
