Morty Comix # 2558 went through quite a few hurdles to determine where this was going to be sent.
Charlie assisted me in preparing the materials for this task. Buster sat by and supervised.
The comic was placed in a plastic bag which was tied to a string.
The other end of the string was clamped with a clothespin, ever so precariously, on a ceiling light.
Puzzle pieces of these 50 United States of America were placed at random under the hanging comic
A foam dart gun was employed. It took only three shots to bring the plastic bag down. When it landed it had covered or partially covered Indiana, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Virginia.
Now we enter the presidential arena. I rolled a 7 with the dice. Andrew Jackson was our 7th president. Vermont, New Hampshire, and Virginia do not have a county named after President Jackson, so back in the puzzle box for them.
Then I rolled a 5 and 2 and decided to keep the states that voted for the presidential winner in 1952. But Texas, Tennessee, Indiana, and South Dakota all voted for Eisenhower.
So then I rolled a 4 and a 4. I got so excited at this juncture that one of the little cubes fell to the floor.
In 1944 South Dakota and Indiana picked the loser, Tom Dewey, so back in the box they go.
So, in keeping with the presidents, I turn to my bowl of Lincoln pennies.
So I drop pennies on a presidential gallery. Both Texas and Tennessee have Polk counties, neither have a Fillmore or Pierce County.
Jackson is another draw, however Martin Van Buren is honored with a county name in Tennessee but not Texas.
23 cents later the winner is determined to be Van Buren County, Tennessee.
As it turns out this county has only one incorporated city, Spencer. This town is the same size as right here in little old McCleary, Washington, so in a way I'm sending this comic to a sister city in Tennessee. I found a business there that includes retail crafts, so awaaaaaay we go!
