舍 = 人 + 舌 : Mnemonic symbol: a pawn who is abandoned to save the king.

Neanderthal Man (人) is so hungry that he opens his mouth, sticks out his tongue (舌) and is about to devour Sherlock Holmes (sh) in the elevator (e3), but Sherlock Holmes acts quickly enough to throw a pawn (舍) onto Neanderthal Man's tongue so that he munches the pawn instead.

本 = 一 + 木 : Beelzebub finds a Christmas tree in the encampment and feels like eating its roots. He uses a flute to chop the roots right off.

逐 = 豕 + 辶 : The swine (豕) is stealing Julian Giant Squid's (zhu) eight gladiator sandals (辶) one by one (逐) in the space station's entrance (Ø2), with Julian Giant Squid chasing (逐) the swine each time.

末 = 一 + 木 : Mahatma Gandhi set up a giant flute on a Christmas tree, trying to raise awareness for the Roof of the World in the observatory's bathroom. He chose the flute and the tree as symbols for the sky and nature, but as Jehovah’s Witness enters, she thinks it's the sky that has fallen down on our heads, and the end of days is ultimately there.
