Morty Comix # 2652



Morty Comix # 2652 was sent to Buzz Buzzizyk in Butler, PA. Buzz himself supplied the paper, already cut and folded, and challenged me to get off my butt and draw some more. Buzz has permission to enhance them and distribute them as he sees fit. So you can probably expect to get some updates on what happens to these little guys as time passes.

Postcard - Sandpoint, Idaho

"Graced by Lake Pend Oreille in front and the Selkirk Mtns. beyond, Sandpoint's matchless setting is a natural magnet for tourists and natives alike. The Long Bridge enters from the south near the popular City Beach (right center). Schweitzer Ski Basin, at aupper right, basks in the summer sun having already sent its abundant snowfall to the lake, via Sand Creek, through this picturesque city. Lumbering and pole processing help support the economy."

OK, so I took a phone photo of a vent in the foundation in the front of my house. Then I put the image on my computer screen. This makes it an electronic vent, or an e-vent.

Meanwhile, Buster climbs up and stares at the image, forming a strategy on how to catch mice that might use this opening. That makes him an e-vent planner.

Postcard - Priest River, Idaho

"Priest River, from Priest Lake 20 air-miles away, merges with the Pend Oreille River at lower right center. Priest River, Idaho, is an important lumbering (note large mills) and recreation town. Hwy. 200 bisects the city enroute to Newport, Washington, just beyond the state line. Albeni Falls Dam is just beyond long island in distance."
