Flash Story

Item #5024

(December, 1987) Flash is a photographer with a sense of humor. It came to him in a flash to place his flashbulb on top of his leaf hat. To encourage shy gnomes to smile when they pose for him, he has decided to “flash” them. This gets a grin from shy Shorty and Miles. Bonnie laughed at him, but Elizabeth and O’Neal blushed at the joke. The antique circus coin on his base describes what Flash does best. The big surprise is that what you see is a roll of film (the best kind of roll to have around your middle). By displaying both himself and his roll of film, he’s aiming for a double exposure. On the base is a gnome-size, miniature camera—Flash thinks this must be a Mini-olta. Flash will try to use this to take photos of Happy’s birthday party and Walt’s big catch.
