“Slimer Takes The Cake!”

    It’s Fred’s birthday, and Luigi has baked him a nice cake.  Slimer resists all urges to eat the cake, only to have it stolen by a hungry Manx instead!  Now, Slimer must rescue the cake and save his friend’s birthday.

“All That Glitters is Slime”

    While book hunting, Professor Dweeb stumbles upon and old recipe to make gold.  All he needs is some green slime from a ghost, and he knows exactly where to find some.  Dweeb leads Slimer on a merry chase across town, fuelled by the desire to be rich and caring for little else!

“Janine’s Knight in Shining Armour!”

    Janine reads a book about knights and dragons just before Egon surprises her with her favorite flowers: Snapdragons.  However, snapping they do as a real dragon emerges from the bouquet, snagging Janine in the process, leaving Egon to rescue his fair damsel!

“Petro-Plasms”

    While men dig for oil in Texas, Petro-plasms rise up out of the wells and put a fright into them.  The Ghostbusters are promptly called to put an end to the crude situation and ensure that oils well that ends well.

BLOOPER: “Pretro-Plasms”
    Page 2- Caption: “30 Minutes Later…”
    There’s no way in hell anyone can get from New York to Texas in half an hour, especially by driving, unless Egon had put a time-dilation device on Ecto-1.  According to Mapquest.com, driving from the actual firehouse in New York to Dallas, Texas would take 24 ½ hours straight.  This mistake could be attributed to some Europeans being used to small countries and not realizing the size of the very large United States.

    Page 5-The top set of Dweeb’s teeth are colored the same as the background.
BLOOPER: “Pretro-Plasms”
