Zh is for James II of England (詹姆斯二世, zhānmǔsī èrshì).
Li is for Li Qingzhao, writer and poet of the Song Dynasty.
In the space station’s bathroom.
Maud Younger (y) forgot her keys to the space station (Ø1), all she brought outside was her flute (一). She has no choice but to crash the door with the giant flute.
C is for the King of Chu.
A mean crocodile (丷) harasses Dorothy Gale (di) in the space station’s bathroom (Ø4), but Jesse James (弟) is there to stop him. With a composite bow (弓), he shoots a banana (丿) as a warning shot; as the banana doesn’t stop the crocodile, Jesse shoots a dinosaur bone (丨) right into the crocodile’s crotch.
Mnemonic symbol: this character just looks like a composite bow.
Joan of Arc (ji) is on a secret holy mission inside the engine’s living room ((e)ng3) given to her by the pope (阝) personally. She is trying to navigate carefully, but she spots a dangerous pitfall (阱) hidden on the floor.
To mark the danger, she takes the Pope’s ceremonial staff and uses it to carefully construct a neat, orderly well (井) right over the hole. By placing this stone-lined well (井) over the trap (阱), she ensures that anyone walking through the engine’s living room will see the structure and avoid falling into the pitfall below.
Haha I love how this one came out, especially the ant in the background.

One day, the mean crocodile (丷) and Beelzebub (b-) came to King Solomon (mnemonic symbol for 半 in 判 伴 叛 etc.) in the anthill’s bathroom (-an4), and Beelzebub said:
Your Majesty, this crocodile (丷) and I share the same basement hobby room. Not long ago I soldered this huge capacitor (二) to my circuit, and three days later she soldered a huge capacitor to hers. We do not share the basement hobby room with anyone else.
One night while we were all asleep, she hooked up the capacitor reversed, and it popped. Then while I was still asleep, she got up and unsoldered my capacitor. She soldered it to her circuit, then she soldered her popped capacitor into my circuit. In the next evening when I wanted to continue to work on my circuit, I saw that the capacitor (二) was dead. But when I looked at the serial number in the light, I knew it wasn’t mine.
“No!” the mean crocodile (丷) shouted. “It was your capacitor all along. My capacitor is alive!” “The dead capacitor is yours,” Beelzebub (b-) yelled. “Mine is alive!”
They argued back and forth in front of Solomon (mnemonic symbol for 半, because he likes to cut things in haves), until finally he said, “Both of you say this live capacitor is yours. Someone bring me a sword.” A sword was brought, and Solomon ordered, “cut the capacitor in half! That way each of you can have part of it.”
“Yes, that is a very good idea! My circuit will be much faster this way anyway”, Beelzebub (b-) exclaimed. “I agree, let’s do it that way, it’s a good compromise”, the crocodile said joyfully. “Cut the capacitor (二)! Cut it! Cut it!” Beelzebub screamed. “Do it! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR YOU MORON KING!” shouted the crocodile.
Beelzebub and the crocodile (丷) placed down the big dinosaur bone (丨) they used to transport the huge live capacitor. Promptly King Solomon descended from the anthill’s toilet (-an4) and cut the capacitor as well as the dinosaur bone (丨) in halves (半) using a huge broadsword.
Beelzebub and the crocodile carried their capacitor halves (半) home, and they all lived happily ever after.
Gu is for Gitta Giraffe.
