MY SECRET AGENT LOVER MAN

 My Secret Agent Lover Man is the duck of Weetzie's dreams. He's a B movie film maker and Dangerous Angels is his best film yet! My Secret is often mistaken for Charlie Chaplin because he wears a big trenchcoat and his walk's a waddle. He's very sensitive and sometimes the world makes him a bit sad. In this way he is much like his daughter, Witch Baby.
