MORTIMER SKWAK, HOGG'S COUNTY ENTREPENUER

Mortimer Skwak made a name for himself when he travelled alone into the rough and rowdy region known as Faux County, as a philatelic explorer, seeking out rare and unusual local post stamps.

After being jailed in Faux County for illegally engaging in philatelic activities, (outlawed in Faux County), he eventually returned home to Hogg's County where he made a fortune selling examples of Faux County stamps.

Skwak is related to the founders of Hogg's County and also is a close friend of the families who run the local Hogg's County Railway. He is honored with his portrait appearing on Hogg's County Railway parcel post stamp local issues, as seen in this blog post. He also appears on Hogg's County postage due stamps, as well as the general issues of Hogg's County Local Courier stamps, which are used in daily mail service for the public at large.
