In the next installation of Mothball Miscellaneous, Sam and Melco finish up the story of the complete insanity that constitutes the Wistarburgh Glass Company. Not only do we get a full commentary on glassmaking in the 18th century (including Melissa's thoughts on labor rights), there's also a cameo by one of America's Founding Fathers. Here's your hint: he wanted the national bird to be a turkey. Now we'll know who was listening in grade school and who wasn't. Post Revolutionary War glassmaking rounds out the latest episode on the weirdest segment yet to come out of Sam's fever dreams. Seriously, none of us thought glass was going to be this crazy.
