My grandsons, Max and Finn, love Phineas and Ferb, the Disney cartoon. Like most kids, they are big fans of the clearly anthropomorphic Perry the Platypus. Perry is supposed to be a pet and appears in the cartoons on all fours, like a cat or dog, when he is Perry.
But not too far into each episode Perry turns into a flying platypus with special abilities. This metaphorosis from one character to another occurs when someone in the script says, "Hey, where's Perry?" Then Perry appears as Agent P, a secret agent who wears a fedora and fights the evil Dr Heinz Doofenschmirtz.
Here's my Agent P impersonation. I'm wearing one of the black fedoras that I sent to Max and Finny so they can be secret agents. Very cool!
