Mister Ron's Basement #1107 SUNDAY SALAD SURPRISE! We have discovered two or three so far unread SPOOPENDYKE stories! No doubt we will really run out of them soon. But in the meantime, we offer a very short Stanley Huntley story about a woman placing an obituary advertisement called 'One Item of Expense,' then Mr. Spoopendyke dishes out the grisly details about dueling to his wife in 'The Code Fully Explained.'
