Ted L. Nancy's Letters from a Nut series documented his correspondence with celebrities, dignitaries, and companies who replied to his outlandish letters. Letters where Ted wanted to check in to a hotel with his own ice machine. Or sell ham sandwiches out of an Indian casino restroom. Then in Hello Junk Mail Ted and the Kabobby family answered scores of junk mail with more riotous results. Now in Ted L. Nancy's Afternoon Stories Ted writes ridiculous stories which he reads to people at their jobs. Ted goes to a mattress showroom filled with salespeople and customers and reads them the story of THE POLYGAMIST WHO GOT 11 HUSBANDS BY MISTAKE. Then Ted visits a convention and reads conventioneers the story of THE BATHROOM ATTENDANT WHO FINALLY PASSED OUT. And he brings along ridiculous acts like THE VENTRILOQUIST WITH A PUPPET IN A COMA. Or MARK TWAIN WITH BREASTS to entertain these people. If you grew up reading Ted's Letters From A Nut - and you want some more adult, sophisticated Ted - then you will want Ted L. Nancy's Afternoon Stories. This is a fully grown mature Ted. Ted Unchained. (a little) Ted L. Nancy. The brand to go to for idiotic lunacy.

It's obvious but odd. So it's ODDVIOUS

Sancho the Sparrow wanted to sing a different song. He wanted to sing along with the symphony at the Mendo Music Festival, but would he be welcome there? Or would he be more welcome at a concert hosted by Rocky the Otter?

Rocky the Otter finds himself in Morro where he meets up with Corky the Cormorant and Sam the Seagull. While reminiscing about their adventure in "The Basking Shark Rescue Team," Rocky comes to realize that he has a role to play in the Great Bird Race, an annual race that Morgan the Merganser described as "the most important athletic event in the history of the world." Rocky, of course, never heard of it. Angelo and his dog, Lovisa, help Rocky and Morgan in his quest to win the race. Alan Marder, who illustrated the Ted L. Nancy "Letters From a Nut" books, again beautifully illustrates this delightful story.
