Another "Wally Gator" cartoon rewrite, this time it's "Swamp Fever" Enjoy and comment.

It was a very quiet day at the City Zoo. There were no visitors at all.

This made Wally feel sad.

"Man I am lonesome!" he said. "I have this nice, new ping-pong table, but nobody to play with. And this nice, new bicycle built for two, can't be ridden by one. I have the lonesome alligator blues."

Just then, Mr Twiddle came over.

"What you need, is a playmate! I'll get you one right away!"

:Oh, thank you!" exclaimed Wally. "How 'bout one of those Southern gators?"

"I'll see what I can find in the Everglades." said Mr Twiddle.

"You should take me along so I can show you the sights!"

"No thank you Wally. You stay here so you won't cause any trouble. I'll be back in a few days."

Mr Twiddle got into his van, and drove off.

"So long Mr Twiddle!"

But Wally managed to jump on the back of Mr Twiddle's van!"

"Everglades, here I come!"

Soon, they arrived in the Everglades.

"Here at last! I can smell those magnolia trees already!"

Wally was singing to himself, when he bumped into a large alligator.

Was my old pal pulling tricks on me, or was that Yankee Doodle?"

"Actually." said Wally, 'it was!"

The alligator put a hat on.

"Need I say more? Being the fine Southern alligator I am, I don't enjoy Yankee Doodle alligators invading my privacy!"

The alligator grabbed Wally, and threw him out of the Everglades.

Now Wally was angry.

"What fine Southern hospitality!" he said, as he raced back in.

Soon, he was fighting the alligator, but every time, he got kicked out of the Everglades.

Then, Wally climbed up a tree.

"There's more than one way to fool a Southern alligator!"

He swung from a vine, but was soon punched by the big alligator, causing him to fall into a pond!

Wally then decided to swim underwater, but was caught by the big alligator.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here? It's a Yankee Doodle alligator.

He pulled Wally out, and began dragging him towards the exit.

"Just a minute!" snapped Wally. "Who do you think you are?"

"I am the head alligator of the Everglades!"

He tossed Wally out again.

Wally then had another plan, to shoot himself through a cannon.

But the big alligator was waiting with a baseball bat.

With a crack of the bat, Wally landed right back in the cannon!

"I don't care if I never see the Everglades! City Zoo, I'm with you!"

And with a boom of the cannon, Wally landed back at the City Zoo, just as Mr Twiddle returned.

"I'm back Wally! And I have a surprise for you!"

"I love surprises! What is it!"

"It's your very own playmate! Here he is."

Wally gasped when he saw the big alligator again!

"Well, if it isn't the Yankee Doodle alligator again! Let's get one thing straight!"

"Yeah, you're the head gator!"

The big alligator began punching Wally in the head.

"Look at that!" exclaimed Mr Twiddle. "They're playing together already!"

The big alligator continued to punch Wally.
