This is the entire Pizza family (except for baby Pepironi, who is in the hock shop) (ignore Semor).  In the story you’re about to read you will need to be acquainted with them all. 

02.jpg

One day Papa looked at the calendar.  In just one week it would be his and Mama’s 25th anniversary!  Papa and Mama had been looking forward to this date for a long time.  At last they would get to take that honeymoon they never had... to Niagara Falls!!

03.jpg

They couldn’t leave the kids alone, so Aunt May can to babysit. 

Aunt May was the meanest babysitter that ever lived.

04.jpg

Then Mama and Papa left.

05.jpg

While Mama and Papa were gone Aunt May was getting to be unbearable.  She rang a bell for everything.  Lunch, dinner, breakfast, snacks, inspection, calisthenics, and to talk on the telephone.

06.jpg

The kids were planning action.

07.jpg

Papa and Mama finally made it to the falls.  When they got there the first thing Mama did was look at the plaques on the wall honouring the people who had gone off the falls in barrels.

08.jpg

“Why couldn’t Papa be brave?” Mama wondered.  Papa was braver than Mama would ever know... he married her.

09.jpg

Then, that night at supper, all Mama did was make google-eyes at the waiter!  How disgusting! 

10.jpg

After supper Mama watched TV until four in the morning.

All the next day Mama just flirted with the men at the pool.  Somehow, someway, Papa would have to prove himself to Mama.  Then he knew.  As Papa looked into the falls he knew how he would prove himself.

11.jpg

MEANWHILE... back at home. 

The kids had overthrown Aunt May, and they had her tied up above a boiling vat of spaghetti sauce.

12.jpg

What was really terrible was that they had even broken her bell!

13.jpg

The kids were happy, but their happiness didn’t last long...

14.jpg

The cops ran in the house and busted open the medicine cabinet.

16.jpg

The cops then ran downstairs and saw Aunt May.  They thought it was some sort of ritual.  The sergeant told one of the cops to cut her down.

17.jpg
18.jpg

The cops took everyone to jail where they were all locked up.

AT THAT VERY MOMENT, back at Niagara Falls...

Papa had gotten in a barrel and was about to go off the falls.

19.jpg

Throwing up his arms to hug Mama, he let go of the railing, thus sending him plunging down the falls!!

20.jpg
21.jpg

The next day after hunting all night, the searcher found part of the barrel.

22.jpg

Mama broke into tears and fell on the ground crying.

BACK AT HOME...

the kids had been fingerprinted and had their mugshots taken.  They were booked, and now were going to trial.

23.jpg

Being that they were Papa Pizza’s off-spring and with the outstanding reputation of Papa, the jury accepted that as enough defense. 

The jury then left, and in a minute came back.

24.jpg

The kids were set free, and since they didn’t have any money for a cab, they had to walk.  When they were walking home a truck pulled up to them.

25.jpg

It was Shrimp the Pimp, and he had just robbed the supermarket. 

Now he wanted to take the Pizza family as hostages.

The Shrimp kept Giovoni up front so none of the kids would jump out.

Suddenly, as they were going around a corner the door flew open and the Shrimp fell out!

26.jpg
27.jpg

Giovoni quickly took the wheel and got the truck under control.  He was driving the truck to the police station when the cops stopped him.

28.jpg

AS WE RETURN TO NIAGARA FALLS...

Papa was assumed dead and a wreath was thrown onto the water.

29.jpg

But, little did they know, at that very moment five miles down the river...

Papa was swimming as far away from Mama as he could. 

30.jpg

But he just didn’t swim fast enough.  A search who hadn’t given up “rescued” Papa and took him back.

31.jpg

Mama was so happy she screamed with joy!

32.jpg

Papa got his picture on the plaque!

33.jpg

Although they still had four days of their vacation left, the first three days were too much for them, so Papa and Mama decided to head back home.

34.jpg

SPEAKING OF HOME...

The kids had gotten off the bum rap and had given enough evidence to convict Shrimp the Pimp.

35.jpg
36.jpg

When the kids got outside, there was a beautiful black Cadillac.  The people who owned it were offering them a ride, and since they didn’t want to walk, they accepted.

The two people put Celest between them, and when they got out of town one of them pulled a gun and was about to shoot her.  Since she didn’t like the idea of getting shot, she ducked.

37.jpg
38.jpg

The crook, seeing what he had done, threw down the gun and ran.

39.jpg

Celest picked the gun up and shot at him.

40.jpg

Suddenly a cop car pulled up.

41.jpg

TALKING ABOUT BARS...

Papa got thirsty, so he pulled over to a roadside bar.

42.jpg

After about two hours his thirst was quenched.

43.jpg

Papa set out for home.  Papa was going down the road when a truck got in his way. 

Papa had to think fast.

45.jpg

Since the car would go, Papa and Mama had to “thumb.”

46.jpg

They finally got a ride.

47.jpg

MEANWHILE... back at home...

After getting off the murder rap the kids went back home with a police escort

and barricaded themselves in the house.

48.jpg

Then, one day as Romona was checking out the locks on the windows...

49.jpg

Papa and Mama just stood and looked at the house.  The kids thought that they were overcome with awe to be home again.  The truth was that they were afraid to step on a mine and be blown up.

50.jpg

That night they had a big bar-be-cue to celebrate their being together again.

51.jpg
52.jpg

Later on that night, as the kids were playing, their ball bounced out in the street.

Giovoni ren ran after it.

53.jpg
54.jpg

All was well once again with the Pizza family.
