A bullet from Blitzø's flintlock pistol landed in the old fashioned TV, which exploded on impact, courtesy of Ebony who had known a warehouse overstocking on items, and instead of stripping them down for parts, she thought her Imp mate would enjoy shooting at them. And she was right, of course.

"Nice one, B!" Millie smiled

"I still don't know how their broadcast can reach down here." Ebony commented

"Who cares?" Blitzø replied "Gimme another, Mox."

Moxxie nervously swept away the flaming debris and puts another old-fashioned TV onto the stand, turning it on with a scared look on his face. The 666 News logo appears as Blitzø poured gunpowder into his flintlock.

"Eh, nah." He shrugged "Not feelin' it. Next!"

The shorter Imp switched the channel, a demonically dressed Betty Boop appears in black and white, dancing erotically with prominent, bouncing breasts, holding a pitchfork. Moxxie flinched with anticipation, Ebony letting out a low sigh as she sat down on the table next to her mate, who happily looked down at her legs as a brief purr emitted from him.

"Uh-huh. Keep going." snapping himself out of it "Keep goin', keep goin' . ."

The chanel switched again, this time showing Wally Wackford, dressed in white with a black top hat, holding a cane.

"I say, I say, are you lookin' to get work making crazy contraptions and goofy gadgets?" He asked with a toothy smile "well, call me at Wacky Wally Wackford’s Wacky Idea Factory!"

The Wacky Wally Wackford's Wacky Idea "Factory" ™ title appeared against a similar circular background of classic old cartoons, the panel with the title then falls over forwards

"Where you make the things and I make the money!" He added, moving closer to the screen with a pleading look, "Please! I’m very desperate!"

"Bingo!" Blitzø smiled
