Child Cruncher

The girl in this story is being kidnapped by a fierce and gruesome bandit. At least, that is what she thinks. It turns out to be a lot less spectacular. The bandit turns out to be just an ordinary child cruncher. What a disappointment… |

Miss C. Mouse goes to Marbella del Mar

Miss C. Mouse goes to hospital
Elle van Lieshout, Erik van Os & Marije Tolman
Miss C. Mouse had had a narrow escape
A mousetrap had snapped her in its grip.
She’d dodged its jaws with a sideways skip.
But...
she’d broken her tail at the uttermost tip!
So they took her to the hospital feeling very frail.
Poor Miss C. Mouse and her poor, poor tail!
