Tale of the Tail:

Gordon is depressed after Human Kimberly's friends make fun of him for his tiny tail. Mr. Blik and Waffle are going fishing, and Mr. Blik wants Gordon to go so he'll carry the cooler. Reluctant to go, Gordon is convinced by Blik to go when he makes up a magical creature called the Kraken, who will grant you a wish if you defeat him in battle. Of course, Mr. Blik knows the Kraken is not real. But is he?

Mr. Pickles:

Mr. Blik has been bossing around Gordon and Waffle forever. But when he falls into Gordon's pickled cabbage baths, he turns green, and nobody takes him seriously anymore! Saddened, Mr. Blik, now Mr. Pickles, sets off to become a hobo. With nobody to boss them around, Gordon and Waffle can do anything they want. But when they destroy the house, they realize they need Blik.

TRIVIA (4)
ADD TRIVIA
- It has been sort of implied that Gordon once had a tail, but then it got teared of. For one thing when Mr. Blik was telling Gordon that he made up the whole kraken story, he tells him that he is not getting his tail back. Also Gordon says that he wishes for a new tail.
  EDIT SHARE
- Hovis didn't seemed to be threatened or attacked by the kraken when it was bashing around the ship in "Tale of the Tail". In fact, after when he said that he could not hear Mr. Blik over the bubbles in the spa, it was his last appearance in the episode segment.
  EDIT SHARE
- When the Kraken is defeated and gives Gordon a wish, he has five tentacles. But when he flies up into the sun, he only has four.
  EDIT SHARE
- After Waffle falls off the couch in "Mr. Pickles", the table with the phone by the couch disappears!
