"Oppearth"; Casper and Wendy discover that what we see as the moon is actually a round opening into a land with yellow sky, "Oppearth Land," where everything is backwards from Earth (much like Bizarro World); Oliver, known as Revilo here, takes Casper and Wendy to Ye Olde Wrecking Shoppe, where they pick up a package. Keeping Up With Casper and Richie Rich house ad. "For He's a Jolly Good Ogre"; Casper, Wendy, and Oliver return to the forest and it is revealed that Oliver is actually Bruto's son, and that he had called for help because he had nobody to play with; Bruto wouldn't let him play with the forest folk because he was mad at them for stealing his guadrulnik years ago.
