Snappy's Happy Half-Hour
Don Zolidis
The spoofydoofs live peacefully under a tree--their only worry is the Hurry Scurries.
Gigles finds a funnybone that makes everyone laugh.
His search party is chased by Polly and her dog-- and by gloomy faced Aunt Nettie, a Hurry Scurry.
The spoofydoofs catch her and hand her the funnybone.
She happily returns to Hurry Scurry land to spread laughter.
