The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume CCXCVI

Mogey and Smush were all about blowing bubbles. Well, maybe not all, but they were certainly partially about blowing bubbles. One fateful day, they set about trying to blow the biggest bubble OF ALL TIME. The two pals started out by filling an entire child's swimming pool with soapy water, despite the child's objections.

"I see enough soapy water on bath night!" the child insisted, but Mogey and Smush would not be stopped.

They found a thick piece of wire in the alley behind the doughnut shop and fashioned it into an enormous hoop, and finally it was time to attempt the great feat. It took both Mogey and Smush to dip the gargantuan bubblemaker into the soapy pool, and once it was well-coated they hefted it out with great difficulty. Mogey and Smush sprinted down the lane, holding the bubble hoop aloft as an old cow named Norbert watched them from behind his fence and chortled at the absurdity of it all.

Not fifty paces down the road, Mogey tripped over his own big toe, sending both himself and Smush sprawling. But a miraculous thing had happened. At that exact moment, the biggest bubble OF ALL TIME had dislodged from the bubble hoop and, in all the confusion, encapsulated our heroes. Within seconds, Mogey and Smush found themselves trapped inside the biggest bubble OF ALL TIME, and headed for the heavens.

"What do we do now, Mogey?" Smush asked fearfully, gazing down at the now distant township from the bubble's floor.

"I was thinking maybe nap time," Mogey replied, yawning and stretching out along the bubble's smooth soapy curve. "Boy, I'm sure glad I didn't let you talk me out of putting those two turkey drumsticks in my pocket."
