SYNOPSIS

Topper  and  Viggo  are  best friends and they live in the same house, where Viggo's father is an proprietor of a  pub,  called  the  "The  Blue Sea  Cat".  Viggo  has both his parents with him, but Topper only has his mother. His father is a sailor and is hardly  ever  home.  Therefore, Topper  misses  him  incredibly  much.  Topper is also secretly in love with a girl by the name of Sille. One day, Topper  finds  a  pencil  with which  he  writes  "I love Sille" on a wall. When he discovers that Sille is approaching him, he stands in front of what he has written, so  that she  will  not see it, since he's too shy to show it to her. However, she demands to see what he has written and he  is  forced  to  show  her. But  the  writing  is gone and he starts to wonder if there is something magic with the pencil. He and Viggo decides to really  try  it  out  and they  draw  a rhinoceros on the wall (covered with yellow wallpaper) in Topper's apartment. However, the rhino doesn't vanish, as they think it will, but it comes to life instead. They  name  him  Otto,  but  keeping him  on  the  third  floor  in  an  apartment  isn't  easy.  Otto becomes hungry and getting food for a  yellow  rhinoceros  is  easier  said  than done.  This  task  casts  them  into  many adventures, involving many different people.
