Give Me Another Jug Of Suds (B/W)

The old-timers couldn't remember why it was called Hop Valley. They talked about it almost every day while sipping on their favorite beer. Finally, Clem mentioned the time Bongo Whitehair hopped down to the bar for two weeks after losing a bet. That had to be it!

Free At Last (t)

After years of stealing the spirit of clouds with his various optical devices, Samuel Lightgatherer, was sentence to life under a canopy of rapidly growing trees. Eventually, Samuel would never see another cloud at which point his custodians figured all cloud spirits would at last be free to roam undisturbed!

Bill, Chester, Sam and Cleo the tanks dream of hiking to Mount Rainier. They have all the provisions they will need including food, blankets and a GPS. They are just waiting for one of them to make the first move.

Blowin' In The Wind (p)

The Grass Clan love to hang out at the lake. They spend their days frolicking in the water playing "Catch A Bug" and "Spot Toxic Algae". Great family fun.

Keep It Up

After a recent doctor visit, Raney had a better understanding of his erectile dysfunction during warm weather. Raney decided to move further North.

Location Is Everything (t) (B/W)

Earlier in the day, millions of innocent snowflakes were slaughtered when they landed in the lake instead of on land. The anguished screams were horrible!

Ready To Sing (p)

Randy has been on the mend for a couple of months after having birdseed get caught in this throat. He still maintains the seed must have been blown on his nuts from a nearby feeder. That, or, Jax the Jay has been messing with Randy again!

Relaxed

It took Detective Erec Tile a few days, but, he finally tracked down the discarded bath tubs from early Cialis commercials.

Goose Porn (t)

The flock was ecstatic. Tonight was grain and a movie at the Gander Fly-By Theatre. And, the movie? Feathers Does The Wedge!

Pinhole (t)

Julia finally figured out why she was having trouble sleeping. The canvas of her tent had numerous pinholes allowing light in. Must be moths!

Constant Change (t) (p)

Alice noticed that although the landscape rarely changed, weather seemed to make things look different at any given moment. Of course, smoking a lot of pot changed things also!

Splish Splash (t)

Teddy the Trout wears himself out striking at raindrops. He hasn't learned the difference between water and insects hitting the lake surface. But, the problem kind of runs in his family. Both grandpa and dad couldn't distinguish between live and tied insects. They are now gone and Teddy is on his own.

Labels (B/W)

Rattus really disliked being called a squealer by his mates. I mean, he only squealed one time and that was when he got his tail wrapped up in Mary Lou's curling iron.

Eat It Or Throw It (p)

Fred loves taunting dogs. Nothing makes him happier than hearing the yip of frantic canines. Well, except maybe, the squeal of humans dodging flying pine cones which he drops from 100 feet above them. He has a pretty good aim and a high hit rate.

Night Hawk (t) (B/W)

He was a supervillain. Then, a superhero. Now, he's a superboat. Tabloid life was just too stressful. He would rather rock and lull.

Cut Short (t)

They get together every 60 days or so to remember Terrance the Tree. Terrance had one heck of a life and was looking forward to at least another 50 years when Hylo P. Hobia took a chainsaw to Terrance. It was horrible! No one saw it coming despite the fact that Hylo had cut down all 150 trees on his property.
