His story

Magnus is a walrus who avoided doctors for forty years, until a check-up caught a problem early and changed his mind. Now he's on a mission to drag every bloke he knows to a GP, gently, with his tusks if necessary. He talks about prostates, mental health and blood pressure the way other walruses talk about the weather: loudly, often, and without embarrassment.
