Very often Miss Tickle and her adventurers would be summoned to the other side of the blackboard by [[InkSuitActor Rick Springfield]] and his owl Ptolemy for some special mission -- often to spoil the schemes of some magical offender committing a series of themed crimes in "the real world," such as Dr. Astro, stealing treasures representing the Zodiac, or the light-wielding Madam Marquee and Baron Borealis, who steal power-stations.
