The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume CCLXI

One evening Smush descended from his room looking particularly dapper. He was off to begin courting Miss Bertha Bixby (the most beautiful woman in the county over the age of 60), and so he was, as the old timers say, dressed real smoove.

"That's quite a getup you've gotten up there, Smush," Mogey said, wiping a bit of deviled ham from his cheek. "What's it all made of?"

"Well," Smush replied proudly, "my cravat is of the finest Persian silk. My waistcoat was hand-tailored by Italian craftsman, and my shoes are made of the softest calfskin in all the land."

"And the vest?" Mogey asked in awe. "What about the vest?"

"And the vest is the best piece of all," Smush continued. "I sewed it from the fur of the possum that was rooting around our trash cans last Monday."
