The Disappearing Grain (p) (B/W)
It took him months, but, Shirklock finally solved the nagging case of the disappearing grain. Actually, it was pure luck! Wazon asked if Shirklock had noticed the band-tailed pigeons grazing for the past three months in the front yard? "By jove, Wazon! That's it! Get my violin!"

Dream On (t) (p)
Stan built his home right on the edge of the Puget Sound. He would never have to worry about someone building something that would obstruct his view. Unfortunately, ships existed and, sometimes, they anchored in one spot for weeks at a time.

Too Minimal (t) (B/W)
Theo loved stairs. His first home had lots of stairs. He even had a safe room with stairs. After the first winter storm, Theo realized what he had was a multiple level swimming pool. Theo needed a roof!

Got The Reach (t)
Clem could really handle a spray can. The best part is being 16 feet tall he doesn't have to hang off structures to paint. Sometimes, it pays to be Sasquatch! Of course, he knows better than to paint on those rare hot days because he leaves footprints in the road and everyone knows what happens then.

One Kiss
All Lucy ever wanted was to have a prince kiss her; just once. She figured if it worked for girls and princes disguised as frogs, it should work the other way around. Well, Lucy got her wish when the Prince of Trolls gave her a quick peck. She went from being an ordinary frog to a stoned frog. Lucy's mom always told her to be careful what she wished for!

Gossip (t) (B/W)
Esmerelda didn't appreciate all the office gossip about mounting Baker. He was a pretty nice guy and it was a one night thing anyway.

Give Me Another Jug Of Suds (B/W)
The old-timers couldn't remember why it was called Hop Valley. They talked about it almost every day while sipping on their favorite beer. Finally, Clem mentioned the time Bongo Whitehair hopped down to the bar for two weeks after losing a bet. That had to be it!

Free At Last (t)
After years of stealing the spirit of clouds with his various optical devices, Samuel Lightgatherer, was sentence to life under a canopy of rapidly growing trees. Eventually, Samuel would never see another cloud at which point his custodians figured all cloud spirits would at last be free to roam undisturbed!

Palate (t)
Harmon needed a place to practice his lettering. Before long, there was a line of people around the block wanting to buy mattresses, furniture and lease a place to live. The building management was not happy having to repeatedly explain that they only dealt with cryonics. Of course, there were a few folks who reserved a vat for later use.

Blowin' In The Wind (p)
The Grass Clan love to hang out at the lake. They spend their days frolicking in the water playing "Catch A Bug" and "Spot Toxic Algae". Great family fun.

So, at today's potluck, the various food items included mulberries, mad honey, nutmeg, sea bream heads, stilton cheese, poppy seeds, chili peppers, rye bread, areca nuts and Mary Jane's special brownies. Everyone pigged out. What a trip!

Tax Man Cometh (t) (p) (B/W)
Mount Olympus keeps occupied with his glaciers, snow, trails, etc., but, he felt he could do more, so, he got a side job. He now counts cars on Hwy 16 for the government. It's an important function. The government is trying to figure out if they can make more money by removing the gasoline tax and tax drivers per mile driven.

Splish Splash (t)
Teddy the Trout wears himself out striking at raindrops. He hasn't learned the difference between water and insects hitting the lake surface. But, the problem kind of runs in his family. Both grandpa and dad couldn't distinguish between live and tied insects. They are now gone and Teddy is on his own.

Transfer (t) (B/W)
Georgia knew if she opened a pet store she would need down time during the day for herself. She could only listen to doting pet owners for so long. She opened a pub next door to the pet store to get a little me time.

Branded (t)
Bronson figured he rode that log all the way out of the mountains to the ocean and he was going to keep it! Bronson didn't notice the Cut & Drop brand on the log which meant the log legally belonged to C&D. Bronson headed back into the mountains to find another log.

Lost Cause (t)
Marylou lost her locket in the bay. Jimmy figured he could dig a hole to drain the water and find her locket. Unfortunately, Jimmy's ideas are not always productive. He's the same guy who passed on an opportunity to invest in a new fast food store in 1955 called McDonalds®.

Coincidence (t) (B/W)
Louis would pick a different rock each time he came here. Then, he would spend the day sitting on it watching the ocean. Boris the Pterodactyl would also visit these rocks. Just happened Louis and Boris showed up on the same day. Louis didn't believe in pterodactyls. Boris thought Louis tasted delicious and vowed to visit the rocks more frequently.
