Sergeant Twink is like yeah, we're corrupt as shit here.

Gentleman Brendan

Dad is Jonas Venture.

John

"The mad bomber struck again. Luckily one of my sons knows an unsettling amount about bomb-making and the other is immune to explosions. I'm a very good dad."

Now get home so I can benefit from more dangerous, sweet child labor

FancyShark

It wasn't actually their dad. The cops just faked the call to make them leave.

We have defeated The Hardy Boys: Casefiles (tm) #35: The Dead Season

John

Thanks @gellaho

FancyShark

Yeah. Thanks again @gellaho !

gellaho

I gotta tell you, this book did not hold up well to being read

FancyShark

ooof

gellaho

This thing disintigrated

che jakesy, sports revolutionary

Wow what a battle

That one fought harder than most

Shark Puke Fetishist GDC

Our collective withering scorn literally eroded the book.

FancyShark

You should talk to a construction company about how to repair it

gellaho

The cover like cracked

I can't describe it any other way

FancyShark

daaang

John

I've seen used books look like that before, but I always assumed some unsupervised kid with scissors got to them.

Gentleman Brendan

It was a long fight but it was a rewarding one.

FancyShark

Heck yeah

Gentleman Brendan

goodnight, Hardy boyz

che jakesy, sports revolutionary

The real fight was the friends we made along the way, once again

FancyShark

Have a good one, Brendan!

@gellaho , does the cover feel thicker than a normal cover? I'm still stumped on how it cracked

gellaho

It is like ancient parchment paper

gellaho

It almost self-perforates

FancyShark

wow

It must've been kept somewhere way too dry

For way too long

gellaho

I have books from the late sixties that are more structurally sound

FancyShark

Weird

gellaho

That concludes this edition of the book cage

Shark Puke Fetishist GDC

The prose of Dixon unnaturally ages the paper it's printed on.

gellaho

That was a good one, solidly stupid

FancyShark

I love it when the villain's plan is idiotic

I'm still waiting for one to eclipse the Halloween clone plot

gellaho

I don't know if that's ever going to happen. That was ludicrous

FancyShark

True. There's other books in the series that deal with the ASSASSINS terrorist group. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Respect to the ghost writer of this last one for not embracing ugly stereotypes about non-Americans
