The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume CIV

One snowy winters eve, Mogey and Smush settled down by the incinerator where it was nice and warm to do a bit of correspondence. In addition to writing back his twenty seven adoring fans, Smush wanted to send a letter to his great auntie out in Timbuktu who he hadn't heard from in some time. Mogey was all set to craft a scathing letter to the Department of Health Services regarding the (as he saw it) excessive buildup of donkey manure on the village's streets.

And so they both selected their writing utensils of choice. Smush hefted his great-grandfather's quill: an arctic pelican's tailfeather that had been bronzed and then silvered afterward. Also, it had a gold handle. Mogey chose the equally elegant calligraphic implement sometimes known as a "Gallopin' Grape" scented magic marker. This would be a scathing letter alright, a scathing letter indeed.
