The Friendly Ghost, Casper #182

When two mischievous elves steal the straws from Wendy the Good Little Witch’s broom to use as toothpicks, she uses her magic to pull them back—straw by straw—leaving them tangled in a whimsical web of her own making.

Casper the Friendly Ghost stumbles into a forest where everyone’s moving at lightning speed—literally—after losing his own wristwatch during a rescue. Now stuck at a normal pace, he watches in disbelief as Fatso, Flufftail the Rabbit, and even a pair of fast-moving moose and eagle race past, all wearing identical time-keeping gifts. With city commuters zipping by like blurrs, Casper starts to wonder: what happens when time itself becomes a fashion trend?

Casper the Friendly Ghost stumbles upon the curious case of Old Grandfather Clock, a timepiece with a grudge—and a knack for speeding up the frantic rushing city crowds. When the Ghostly Trio get tangled in a web of runaway watches, Casper must unravel the clock’s vengeful past before time itself spirals out of control.
