Morty Comix # 2544

Morty Comix # 2544 was placed under a table at a Tumwater, Washington Dairy Queen.  Just earlier this month Morty Comix # 2538 was placed under a neighboring table and was still there at the time this photo was taken. Placing these Morty Comix and photographing them at the height of lunchtime while remaining undetected is something of a challenge.

Hogan's Corner, Washington

You must have a license in order to have a pet clam. Otherwise the local Clam Catcher will impound your shellfish companion and put it in the Clam Pound. And it is a sad sight that jabs at your heart to walk through that facility and resist the mournful expressions of those abandoned clams who so much want a nice home.

So please, clam owners, license your clams and while you are at it make sure they get all their vaccinations.

Morty Comix # 2543

Morty Comix # 2543 was tucked into the flap of a box that serves as a display for tooth care in my all-time favorite dental office. My dentist would probably advise that fellow with two mouths to buy floss in bulk.
