The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume 486

The morning after a rather large blizzard, Mogey and Smush were putting the finishing touches on a grand snowman. He stood about five feet tall and wore a broad straw hat and a leather vest. Mogey stuck a carrot nose into the snowman's face and took a step back to admire their handiwork, but looked rather disappointed.

"What's wrong, Mogey?" Smush asked.

"He's not coming to life!" Mogey lamented.

"Coming to life?"

"Yes," Mogey replied, "isn't that standard snowman behavior?"

"Why yes!" exclaimed a powerful voice. Mogey and Smush both looked in surprise to see the snowman extending his birch twig hand. "The name is Kevin," the snowman went on. "It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Without a word Mogey took a running leap and tackled Kevin the snowman around the middle, disintegrating him into thousands of pieces.

"What are you doing?" Smush exclaimed in shock as Mogey picked himself back up.

"Darn talking snowman gave me the creeps," Mogey replied, brushing snowflakes off his jacket.
