(4 stars)

Begins with Miss Edna Bessinger standing in "The Gathering Dusk," featuring RedBoilingSpringsPoliceChief Wormsley. Then Wally visits a lemonade stand run by Chauncy Travis, husband and father of three who very early in life identified selling lemonade as preferable to a paper route or selling skin salve door to door. In "Mary Backstayge" Calvin is landed on the deck of Motor Vessel Poseidon by helicoptor 710. Kent Lyle and his newfound buddy, Neil ("Howyadoin'?"), drop in after listening to the show from the comfort of the Times Square Tap. In the "Life of Blimix," Blimix confronts the ex middleweight champ of the Marine Corp and receives a $500 boxing lesson. A night of entertainment aboard the Poseidon featuring a storyteller who can't overcome his stagefright. Mr. Science sends Jimmy through the roof demonstrating the features of the lever. NIcky Oceanic of Oceanic Studios promotes something.

A remarkable tradition
