archy and mehitabel home

the coming of archy

archy interviews a pharaoh

the wail of archy

archy creates a situation

archy hears from mars

unjust

archy at the tomb of napoleon

the song of mehitabel

mehitabel was once cleopatra

mehitabel's extensive past

why mehitabel jumped

mehitabel has an adventure

mehitabel finds a home

mehitabel sees paris

cheerio my deariio

a spider and a fly

the hen and the oriole

ghosts

the lesson of the moth

the flattered lightning bug

the cheerful cricket

the dissipated hornet
