Jim Henson's Turkey Hollow Page #7

um, the...

faculty.

Secret place?

Don't worry,

I got that all figured out.

Remember that time

when junior here

Sat down on the wrong end

of his cattle prod

And forgot his own name

for a week?

Wait, what happened?

Those aren't the prods

we use for regular proddin'.

No, they ain't.

These are industrial strength,

Half a million volts each.

You can cook an egg with 'em!

Whoo!

One zap, and they'll wake up

thinking it's last may.

Hell, give 'em a few zaps

for good measure.

You really would think

I would remember that!

You see his face?

Wha... what?

What?

What's so funny?

Come on, guys!

Burble, don't tell me

you're full already!

Come on.

Burble.

Oh, yeah, yeah,

I've heard it all.

Come on.

Get back in there.

It's thanksgiving!

Got to eat 'til you pop.

Come on!

Come on, we need your help.

Guys, hurry!

I'm scared!

Please hurry, dad!

Yes, yes, please hurry...

Tim?

Tim!

Can you get out here?

Come on.

Give me your hand!

Come on, bud.

I got you, I got you.

Get Annie!

You okay?

There you go.

Here you go, sweetie.

Okay, come on.

There you go, come on.

I got you.

Okay, I got you now.

Hey, Timmy,

grab me that chair, would you?

All right.

Shh. It's okay,

sweetheart.

It's okay.

Here we go.

Okay, there we go.

Where's my banana, huh?

No, I hate that name.

Aw, there she is.

There she is.

Hey, buddy.

You saved us!

You totally saved us.

What, are you kidding?

You think

I'd leave you out here?

I'd do anything for you guys.

I'd die for you.

I'd move mountains.

Oh, right...

I also had a little help

from aunt Cly...

and, uh...

these four...

monsters, Ron.

Magical monsters.

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, um...

it's just that

I've always subscribed

To the popular theory

that magic doesn't exist.

Yeah, well,

Maybe you ought to take time

to get to know a few monsters.

So, this is squonk...

squonk!

Burble...

burble.

- Zorp...

- Zorp.

And thrinng.

Thrinng!

Well, it's...

it's nice to meet you.

Thank you for saving my kids.

Boy, they really do toe the line

Between fugly and adorable, huh?

Hey, Ron, watch it!

These are practically my kids.

I'm sorry about him.

Yeah, he's just been

really stressed

Because of the...

uncoupling.

Divorce.

Wait, so...

aunt Cly,

How long have you known

about these guys?

Since long before you were born.

I'm still confused.

I mean, what about the hoodoo?

Does it even actually exist?

Yeah, well,

that's an interesting question.

That's them!

Those are the guys that took us

and locked us in there.

Yeah, looks like those kids.

They're loose!

Get out of here!

Come on.

No, no, no!

Don't follow me. Run! Hide!

Burble?

Hurry! Run!

And that Emmerson lady...

man, she's like...

like that one booger

that you just can't flick off.

Now she's gonna be roadkill!

I'll cut 'em off at the bend.

Zorp. Zorp!

Zorp?

All right, get a move on, guys.

They're coming

Yee-Haw!

Keep running!

Don't look back.

Come on.

Go, little rabbits!

Gotta hit it.

Hit it!

Better run!

You better run!

- Ron! Ron.

- What?

Give me my thermos.

Here.

Gun it!

Gun it! Yeah, yeah.

Told you it had a serious kick.

Huh.

You'll pay for that windshield!

Come on!

Wanna play?

Oh, it's on now.

Yee-Haw!

Come on!

You wanna play?

Come on!

Whoo!

Roadkill!

Where do we go now?

Yee-Haw!

You stay back, kids.

I'm not going to let anything

happen to you.

What do we got here?

Looks like our birds

done flew the coop!

Yeah!

Time to roast these birds

for thanksgiving!

Hey, you got a problem,

you settle it with me.

You leave them out of it.

I'm afraid I can't do that.

You're all going down

for a nice long nap.

Say goodnight, buncha highhats.

Time to go to sleep.

Fzzt!

Buzz?

Buzz?

Buzz!

G-G-Get it!

You get it!

Y-Y-Y-You get it!

You're the one

with the bigger prod!

Do something!

Burble.

Zorp! Zorp!

Thrinng, thrinng!

Hey!

Hi!

We, uh...

we're going to have

to be very selective

About what we tell your mother

when we get home.

So you guys

were the hoodoo all along?

Yeah, there's a lesson

in there somewhere

Around sticking together.

Good work, you guys.

This is, by far,

the coolest vacation ever.

Wait, aunt Cly!

Your farm!

What time is it?

It's quarter to noon.

We have 15 minutes!

The truck!

- Burble...

- Let's go! Get a move on.

We got keys?

Who needs keys?

There!

Well, how do you like that?

What an amazing turn of events!

Turns out the musical monsters

Team up to form

the howling hoodoo.

I mean, who could've seen

that one coming?

Burble burble.

You know,

that's a great point, burble.

And how about little Tim

and Annie Emmerson,

Still alive

going into the home stretch?

You know, I'm not gonna lie...

I had 20 bucks

on the evil farmhands.

Burble.

I only have five dollars.

Burble!

Fine! Fine.

You guys keep watching

While we sort out

this personal matter.

- Burble.

- Burble!

- Burble!

- Burble burble!

Burble!

Cly?

All right, sheriff...

let's get this over with.

Where's that woman?

Where's that vixen at?

She's not answering.

Hell, I don't care

if she's here or not!

My watch says 12:01,

and she's in my debt.

This is betwixt

me and you now, sheriff.

It's a standard deed

of transfer, sheriff,

In accordance

with the township bylaws.

Go ahead and sign at the bottom.

What in blue blazes?

That's my truck!

Let's go!

Come on, let's go, Timbo!

Hey! Stop!

Don't sign anything!

Sheriff, arrest that man!

On what grounds?

He kidnapped my kids.

I'm pressing charges.

On top of that,

this guy's a complete fraud!

Now, hold on,

who's kidnapping who?

Sump's farmhands...

kidnapped us!

They locked us up

and left us to die!

Sump, do you know

anything about this?

Sheriff,

how much'a this bullcorn

Are you gonna stand for?

This mushroom-Growing,

downward-Dogging devilwoman

Ran off my turkeys.

And now she's got her kin

peddlin' some harebrained story

Starrin' the damned

howlin' hoodoo!

Yes...

good luck making

that stick in court.

The turkeys aren't gone!

They came back!

Yeah.

So aunt Cly doesn't owe

this jerk anything!

Is this true, sump?

Are you kidding?

Now, why in the heck

would 175 turkeys

Come back to captivity

After they've been set loose?

Because they're hooked

on this stuff.

Sorry to say

I told you so, sheriff,

But here's the proof.

Sump's been pumping his turkeys

full of illegal hormones.

That's why they came back...

'cause they're used to

a steady diet of chemicals.

He's got tons of that stuff

stashed in the forest,

Where the farm inspectors

can't find it.

This is nothing

But fallacious,

outrageous slander,

Plain and simple.

Don't say a word, Eldridge.

Well, that's one thing

Your lawyer and I

can agree upon.

Eldridge sump...

you have the right

to remain silent.

Now, sheriff...

Just... a minute.

Just a minute.

Hey!

Hah!

Gonna chase him, sheriff?

Well, he's wearing

orthopedic shoes.

How far can he get?

What?

What the?

Aagh!

Help, get it off of me!
