Mickey Dora's Life and Times

The surfer peril company Quicksilver had come to Mickey's rescue when he got out of prison and appeared destitute. They paid him a monthly stipend, got him a small apartment, and gave him a tab at a local restaurant. He agreed to be essentially their mascot, showing up at parties and attending surf events. It was more or less the same gig Gidget has at Dukes in Malibu.
