Poor Larry.  Having a talking bat stuck in his hair is the least of his problems.  Never mind the fact that some believe the bat to be dead.  Larry is actually crazy enough to admit that he hears his mother's catatonic voice in his head.  As if that wasn't enough, Larry's father, who died in a freak hair-cutting accident when Larry was only six, often visits his son from beyond the grave.
