Casper encounters the Gloomies, liquid-based creatures who are overwhelmingly dour and depressing - and who can replicate endlessly, when emerging from their puddle of water. Casper tricks the (now four) Gloomies into going back into their puddle, before they continue replicating and overrun the world with their unyielding gloominess. As Casper worries about what to do, should the Gloomies return from their water puddle, a solution literally walks into the story's last four panels and ends the situation in a most unexpected fashion!
