Price For the Hickston Hog HICKSTON, ARKANSAS — Fact or fiction? A rural sheriff’s wife claims that her infant son is actually the result of alien experi- ments conducted upon herself and her family’s livestock. “Them aliens ‘napped our best cow right before Ah dropped this-here young’un,” claims Bertha-Sue Hobbes of the small Southern town of Hickston. “Ah had dreams ‘bout it at the time,lahke they was checkin’ out mah brain. Ah reckon they was lookin’ fur smarts or somepin’, which explains why they left me ‘n’Lester alone. Ah mean, that Suzie was a damn smart cow. “As for baby Earl here, well, mebbe they sorta beamed cow genny-etic stuff COULD YOUR CHILD BE NEXT? — Scientists say that little Earl Hobbes (above) is "genetically part into me from outer space or somethin’. bovine," but we here at the Hog say hogwash!

Jed Mudtussle, night watchman over the old treatment plant,says that he’s seen ‘em slinking around at night...obviously plan- ning something. “Them brutes hadda be eight,ten feet tall — but it was the little disgusting ones that were the final straw,”said Mudtussle. “I went for my shotgun, but when I turned around they were gone. There were some funny splatting noises down in the main tank, but heck, I ain’t about to firin’ off a gun around those things! Set off the gas and BOOM — right through the Pearly Gates!”

Could these invaders now be lurk- ing in the pipes under downtown Hickston? Authorities (Mudtussle and two dogs who refuse to go near the main outlet down at the creek) say yes. “Down in the system?

Ponce For the Hickston Hog

HICKSTON, ARKANSAS — If there’s one thing we all love down here in Hickston, it’s a carnival! This weekend marked our forty-second county fair and if you weren’t there, you must have either been cough- ing up your dying breath or kidnapped by aliens. This year’s highlight was, of course, the shooting competition. Due to heavy Saturday-morning congestion at the beer tent, only half of the competitors were properly liquored up when the contest began, but ten minutes into the event the Jaspers showed up with a full tub of their award-winning rotgut and the festivities swung into high! Only four bystanders were seriously injured this year, not including two unfortunate hounddogs and minor wounds sustained by passen- gers aboard the Ferris Wheel. All agreed that it was a heck of a display. Top awards went to Jennie Jasper, who brought down a hawk, three escaped balloons, and the top of the flagpole instead of the pigeons she was supposed to be aiming for. Keen eye, Jennie!
