Lighten The Load (t) (p)

Birds generally are pretty light, however, when you get a couple of hundred perched on your arms, things can get heavy. Lemmy the Tree gives himself a little relief once a week by running bogus birdseed sale ads in the local paper. The birds fall for it every time!

Fried (t)

The Green Hornet and the Green Lantern loved to cook when they weren't out doing the superhero stuff. So, it was only natural for them to join forces and open their own place.

The Light Came On (t)

It wasn't until this very moment that Junior understood what Dad meant by "you have to let go!"

Fin Flipping

Esox Lucius was really excited to see that there was a place named after him. That is, until he realized people were buying his brothers and sisters and eating them. Disgusting!

Into Daylight (t)

It's always unsettling emerging into daylight. You just never know what kind of exposure is awaiting you. Lately, it's been groups of people waving signs expressing the benefits of voting for Bill or Melania. Spooky!

Daza (p)

Jimmy is a gum taster. He's paid to decide which flavors and textures are used for production. He also works as a coffee taster. He does coffee in the morning and gum chewing the rest of the day. It's pretty obvious where he does his gum tasting.

Taking Options (p)

So, Caption Ahabit's plan was to use Sam the Squid as bait to catch Mobly Penis. Sam didn't think much of the idea and decided to pass on Ahabit's promise of book and movie deals.

One Bite Away (t)

Cory the Cormorant sat on this post every day for the past five years. It gave him a perfect perch to rest and eat his catch. Unfortunately for Cory, Muncher the Killer Whale likes cormorants.

One (t)

Brontes took a job which required him to keep an eye out. He didn't realize his employer meant literally keep an eye out.

Lift (t)

Once again, the "Move A Mountain" contest had no winner. It seems no one can come up with a crane design that will handle the load.

Tingly Feeling (p)

Cooper swears this is the last time he goes to Madame Juju's Hair Safari to get his nails trimmed. There's just something about the place that puts him on edge. The experience reminds him of the time he peed on Mr. Olson's electric fence.

Not Enough Pucker (t) (p)

Samuel G. Herkin made a ton of money transporting pickles to the Pacific Northwest. It probably had something to do with PNW cucumbers tasting like blackberries. Way too sweet for pickles.

Matter Of Taste (t)

It's a good thing the old spaghetti factory is still around. The new spaghetti factory uses tofu for it's noodles. Not the same!

Jiffy (t)

This time of day always reminds Jacques of popcorn. He really likes butter!

Amped Up (p)

Once again, management had to rein in Snoody and Woodlock. The two are such enthusiastic employees. They get carried away during sales promotions. When they blew off old Mrs. Bigheadly's wig, well, it was time to intervene.

Slim "Gooseneck" Luminous loves the look of old wood, so, he was ecstatic to learn he got the job shedding light on old siding.

Steve was absolutely positive this was the right building. Now, if he could just remember which brick he hid the million dollars under!

George knew better than to go out beer drinking with the guys. Beer always made him feel bloated and strung up.

The Scarecrow's Mom always warned him to be careful what he wished for. Alas, Mom was right!

Sneaking In (t)

The Sun is so sneaky about this time of day. Always trying to slip into any crevice spoiling quiet solitude and making people squint.
