Jim-Jam’s Jack-O-Lantern-O-Matic
Kid Inventor Jim-Jam won’t lift a finger to carve a jack-o-lantern, but he’ll lower a toe! Stepping on a pedal, Jim-Jam (A) tilts a pitcher (B), which spills milk (C) onto Lynx (D), who doesn’t know that you shouldn’t cry over it. Tears (E) fill the bucket, making the seesaw (F) lift, releasing Jack-in-the-Box (G). This shakes the toadstool (H), causing the toad (I) to fire the cannon (J), which launches a coconut (K) onto a strength tester (L). The ringing bell makes Jitters the Butler (M) trip over Poodle’s plush pillow (N), upending the doggie bowl (O), which flings poodle chow (P) onto the canvas (Q). Intellectual Oriole (R) declares in the microphone (S) that the new painting is a masterpiece, and the megaphone (T) magnifies the message so much that it cracks open a safe (U). Money (V) tumbles out, causing a gold prospector (W) to dance for joy. Famed sculptor Pokey McDrill with his jackhammer, Bill (X) thinks that tapping must be from another woodpecker, and is inspired to carve a happy face into a perfectly plump pumpkin (Y). But what about (Z)? That’s the sound Jim-Jam makes while he naps!
