The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume CCCXLIX

One sweet-smelling spring afternoon, Mogey and Smush decided to learn, once and for all, which of them was plumper. Making this determination was not as easy as it may seem, however, as these were the days before scales or tape measurers. But they were not, as it so happened, the days before teeter-totters.

So Mogey and Smush ventured out to their local playground and forcibly removed a pair of schoolchildren from the seesaw. Each of them chose a side and, with great care, they lowered themselves onto the seats. For a few moments the teeter-totter hung in the balance, creaking ominously. And then...

...the seesaw snapped in two, sending both Mogey and Smush crashing to the ground, and putting the assembled schoolchildren into fits of hysterics. Mogey and Smush scuttled quickly away from the playground, their bottoms bruised and their cheeks redder than a communist shrimp.
