Pogon is pronounced 'Po-gon'. Po as rhyming with 'low', Gon as rhyming with 'John'.
The Hunk of Pogon came to Britain from overseas, of origin undefined. He lives 'on the hill, far over beyond' and has, as valet, drudge and cook the Goon, a bald simpleton (who is nonetheless quick witted and useful in times of crisis). The Hunk is a large animal. The Goon is a physically small and ungainly man.
