The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume 598

One afternoon, Smush was returning from the masquerade ball with his pants stuffed full of fried shrimp and his jacket stuffed full of fried shrimp when he spotted Mogey perched atop the roof of their house.

"Hey there, buddy old pal," Smush said jovially. "What are you doing? Also, would you care for some fried shrimp?"

"No shrimp for me, thanks," Mogey replied. "I'm about to invent the miracle of human flight!"

Mogey spread his arms wide to reveal that he had constructed a pair of makeshift wings from turkey feathers and saltwater taffy. He wound up a propeller mounted on his beanie hat until it strained against the rubber band holding it in place.

"Now watch in amazement," Mogey said, "as I-- say, what's all that racket?"

"Farmer Buckledeeboop's cropduster just flew overhead," Smush answered. "You were saying?"
