Mister Ron's Basement #1704

Back in Episode #1418, we read 'Spoopendyke at Death's Door,' which was obligingly photocopied by a fan from the 1883-84 edition of 'St. Jacob's Oil Family Calendar and Book of Health and Humor for the Million.'

We now have the entire booklet and it is chock full of great stories by some of our favorite authors!

Today's tale is called 'Bill Nye's Cat.'

Mister Ron's Basement #1703

Our Monday book serialization continues with Metta Victoria Victor's 1859 novel 'Miss Slimmens's Window.'

In Chapter Eight, Miss Slimmens sees some seemingly scandalous things out her window, and passes it on to the town gossip in 'An Argos-Eyed Spider Weaves a Web for a Fly.'
