Morty Comix # 2430





Morty Comix # 2430 was left in the doorway of a historic city jail in a park in Vader, Washington.

It was near this spot one set of my great-great grandparents were the first in my family to arrive in Washington, in the mid 1870s.

While I was at this little park taking a break from driving I became acquainted with three repo men who said they were on the track of a guy in the area who was wanted by the FBI. They were Seattle guys out in the sticks who definitely were out of their comfort zone. It was actually pretty funny. Welcome to Bezango WA 985.

Morty Comix # 2429




Morty Comix # 2429 was left inside an empty plastic case initially meant for a telephone directory in a phone booth in downtown Astoria, Oregon.

I originally was going to leave this one at an Astoria restaurant where I had lunch, but the waitress caught sight of the comic before I could plant it. So my evil plan was thwarted.

Astoria is a fun town and several local stories there contributed to my Bezango WA 985 series.
