Prior to the strip, George met Gladys and gave her the ability to predict the future. Because of his influence, she became very famous among her peers, and critics started to call her the Amazing Gladys. In the tract of the same name, she went to visit with her relatives because she was in town for three days as a representative of the Astrologer Convention. Gladys then met Reverend Bob Williams, a recurring character in the tracts, and George attempted to persuade Gladys to not listen to anything he had to say.
