Mirths and Monsters

Hello all, for this month of December I'll be releasing a Christmas related episode each Monday plus a little something extra on Christmas day.

Today, I'm reading this story by L Frank Baum, a lovely wee tale that was really fun to read. Spoiler-it has a happy end so don't worry.

As always for everything Mirths please use the link tree. I'm still running the BIG RAFFLE where you can win a plethora of prizes including merch, a build a bear, air pods for just a $5 entry. Half of all proceeds will be going to the cancer charity, Friends of Anchor.

Thanks everyone,

CK and the furry crew.

Hello Mirthers old and new, welcome to the concluding part of our Squonk adventure and let me tell you, this took even me by surprise.

Join myself as I chat to Winifred Hemlock (the voice of whom has been disguised at their request) as we learn about the Squonks and their way of life.

Please stay tuned all the way through to hear about a very exciting raffle that I'm doing and for all Mirths please clink the linktree.

Thank you,

CK and the furry crew

Mirthers old and new! Join me and the furry crew as we learn about the saddest of all the cryptids, the Squonk. A cryptid so sad about itself that it can't stop crying.

Let's investigate this fascinating creature and see if there is more to it than meets the weeping eye.

Part 2 will be with you next week.

Enjoy,

CK and the furry crew

In this spooky-ish episode it was meant to be The black cat by Edgar Allen Poe but my own black cat, Rey, read it and was horrified! So, we compromised and went with the tell tale heart.

Rey does chip in during the reading, it's the tell tale heart but you've never heard it like this.

Happy halloween!
