The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume LXXXVI

Mogey and Smush were walking across the veldt one summer day so hot that the air was shimmering and the water buffalo were wearing their swim trunks. As they traveled along they encountered a shaggy bear resting in the shade of a peppermint tree. The bear was sweating profusely and fanning himself with what looked to be a peacock's tailfeathers.

"Are you alright, Bear?" Mogey asked.

"It's this blasted fur!" the bear moaned. "I'm so darn hot I can't even move to get a drink of water or eat a tortoise!"

"The fur you say?" Smush rejoined, flicking on his DR-209 battery-powered never-jam hair clippers, which began buzzing pleasantly. "I think we can fix that."

And so the legend of Jeremiah Smooth, naked bear of the Serengeti, was born.
