The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume 644

"You changed the password, remember?" Smush said.

"Hurry, Mogey - the sultan's soldiers will be here any minute!"

"But that's all of them!" Smush said desperately as the hoofbeats of a dozen soldiers mounted upon mighty steeds (horses, probably, or perhaps large pigs) thundered in their ears. "Every food is your favorite food!"

"Too true, Smush," Mogey replied, taking one last long gaze at a toilet brush adorned with rubies and emeralds, "too true."
