Day One

Mr.Shadowcaster's departure was a success! Today is the first day that "The Family" is left without the looming shadow that constantly watches our every move. It seems that this newfound freedom might create an interesting situation. Anne! Answer that radio!

Return Of The Hoff, And Of Course Gary!

"Hey Gary, you think this would be a good time to tell "The Tank" that it's us, that we've been trapped in this picture all these years? Maybe he could free us?" "Na, he'd never believe us! "Hey Gary, that sure is a pretty picture of a  flowing stream. You think I should take my shirt off?" "Whatchoo you been smoking Davey?" "Life Gary, just life."

A Shadow Departs

With Mandy’s blessing, Mr. Shadowcaster takes Mandy's shadow with him to keep him company on his long journey home.




"I am soon to depart for my home planet. I leave all responsibility in the paws of "Grandma Mo", or "Big M" as some prefer to call her. I trust in "The Tank's" execution, I have faith in Anne's expert decision-making abilities. Mandy has done her part by lending her shadow, Miss Gracie will be expected to keep "The Tank's" temper within a reasonable degree, use your judgment wisely, keep Tina at bay, even though not one of us have ever seen her...? But most importantly, keep watch for "The Tail" an entity that I am even unaware. May my shadow always cast upon you."
