Shangalorlors!



Waddie Gantry, one the Gantry twins out of Blackfoot, Idaho, shows off his new suspenders with the pink shangalorlor pattern. Waddie acquired these accessories from an itinerant haberdasher who let on that these was all the latest fashion in the East. Waddie don't know nothin' about shangalorlors nor care much about fashion, he's just tickled there won't be no more drafty exposure when he bends over to retrieve a branding iron.

Rex Tees Off



Rex, proud member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, drives the ball with reckless abandon. With no shortage of power, Rex is sorely lacking on the control front. It's fortunate for Rex that King, his trusted malamute--not a retriever of any kind, doesn't mind bringing the occasional ball back into play.

Singh Sings at Sing Sing



Constable Singh, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, travels south to upstate New York with the post hockey squad where the Mounties will take on a team of New York State Prison Guards in a Police Hockey League game. The game will take place on the outdoor rink at the state prison in Ossining. Here Singh takes part in the pre-game singing of national anthems.

Cupid



Probably shouldn't let babies play with sharp pointy arrows.

Rex Menaced by a Bison!



Rex, proud member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, finds himself face to face with the largest terrestrial mammal in North America: Bison bison athabascae,(often referred to, mistakenly, as the buffalo). Reaching a height of six feet and weighing in at over 2000 pounds, Rex knows this is one bearded bovine not to be toyed with. Rex also knows that the bison's lethargic manner is deceptive and when motivated it can reach speeds just under those of the emu!

Eighties



Inspector Fitzgerald, proud member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, enjoys the occasional round of golf. His biggest challenge is recruiting three other members of the force to complete his foursome. The Inspector, who scores in the high eighties, fears he won't live long enough to shoot his age.

BoxSingh



Constable Singh, proud member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, sports breeches, braces and boxing gloves as he trains for the Regimental Pugilism Tournament. The scrappy junior flyweight weighs in at 7.5 Stone (47.6 Kilos), including hair and beard. His strategy when facing another Mountie in the ring? Go for the chin.

Rex Menaced by Symmetry II: The Little Heart



Rex, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, accompanied by his faithful Malamute King shows his latest valentine effort. All thumbs when it comes to blunt-point safety scissors and construction paper, Rex has made a valiant attempt at cardiographical symmetry. He's been through half a ream of paper as he shifts the point of the heart from left to right and trims one lobe to make it match the other, with each heart getting smaller and smaller until nothing remains. Rex has quit while he's ahead on this heart and even though King thinks it looks more like a spleen, Rex is satisfied and takes pride in his own persistence.

Rex Menaced by Symmetry: The Big Heart



Rex, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, sports the striking scarlet tunic and attempts to transform a scarlet sheet of paper into a striking valentine. A veritable artist with an axe or hatchet, when it comes to construction paper and blunt-point safety scissors, Rex has met his match.

The Heart



Valentine for the literalist.

Bonsai



Inspector Fitzgerald, slightly absent-minded but proud member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, for many years has taken great pleasure in pruning and nurturing his lovely miniature bonsai tree. Mrs. Inspector Fitzgerald hasn't the heart to tell him it's artificial.

Groundskeeper Josh



Wanted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and hunkered down in the Southern States, the vile but charismatic Josh Harmonieux moves from one menial job to another to support his gratuitous rib shooting and shangalorlor piercing habit. School photographer, life coach, or groundskeeper, there is nothing too low for this miscreant jackanapes. In his latest position as groundskeeper the ne'r-do-well has access to sharp instruments, fertilizers, flammable liquids and small internal combustion engines. Last seen wearing a kilt and driving a small Korean automobile, the diminutive Harmonieux should be considered petulant, ambidextrous and slightly goofy. If seen, he should be approached with revulsion and eyes averted. Considered a kind of low-rent folk hero by some, little help can be expected from the public in his apprehension.

Snowmen on Ice



Some snowmen find recreational use for their brooms.

Dead-end Job



Al is a little discouraged, like so many other snowmen, to be stuck in a low paying, dead-end janitorial job.
