Morty Comix # 2628
Morty Comix # 2628 was tucked into a copy of Cat Fancy while Buster was waiting to get his flea allergy shot in Olympia, Washington. I noticed that all the upholstery on the chairs had zillions of little tiny cat claw pinprick holes.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Les misérables (1958)
"Jean Valjean, my brother, I don't believe in riches. But this silver may change you into another man. You now belong to God, no longer to the Devil. I have just purchased your soul."

Morty Comix # 2558
Morty Comix # 2558 went through quite a few hurdles to determine where this was going to be sent.
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 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.
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.

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!

So I let them all back inside after they spend the morning cavorting in the yard. Three of them head right for the food bowls, but Dreamer, ever the sociological observer, remains behind to note the behavior of his feline comrades.
