[man mumbling]

Dad, what are you doing?

Oh, uh, just makin' a movie.

[Julia] Why?

[man] So we can remember.

A day in the life.

[bugs cheering]

[camera shutter clicks]

[laughing] This is awesome!

What a day to remember!

The excitement was squishable

as the entire garden gathered

to witness an amazing feat.

An attempt to break the bug speed record.

[all continue cheering]

I love breaking stuff!

[engine revving]

Oh, with my, uh,

custom-made cricktoracer,

you should go faster

than any bug has ever gone before!

Let's do this!

[all cheering]

Talk us through what you're doing here,

Crick, in laybug's terms.

Ah! Well, I've installed a warning light,

uh, so when Jay reaches

record-breaking speed,

it will, uh, flash

and the cricktocamera

will cricktomatically take a picture.

Enough talking! Time for Jaction!

That's Jay plus action!

-[engine revving]

-Kumi to Buzz. Kumi to Buzz.

[through radio]

Kumi to Buzz, do you read?

[Buzz] Wow.

Kumi to Buzz, do you read?

Oh! Um, I'm learning to read.

Does that count?

Sure, Buzz. Ah, Jay's about to go.

Just checking that the coast is clear.

-Yes, the clear is coast!

-[meows]
Okay, we are good to go!

-[engine revving]

-[tires screeching]

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

[bugs cheering]

Oh, my. I've got a bad feeling about this.

I can't... I can't watch.

[camera shutter clicks]

Now to make sure that record stays broken!

Ow! [gasps]

Um, Buzz to Kumi. Buzz to Kumi.

The clear is not coast anymore!

Uh, Buzz, what do you mean?

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Whoa!

[growls]

-Whoa!

-[cat growls]

[Jay screaming]

[camera shutter clicks]

-Jay!

-[bugs gasp]

Jay! Are you okay?

[Jay grunts]

I am, uh, more than okay.

I am awesome!

Oh! Uh...

[all gasp]

Oh, Jay, are you okay?

Uh... Am I okay?

Uh, I'm gonna go with yes.

I think.

Well, you did it, Jay.

You broke the record.

[laughing] What an achievement!

The bug speed record smashed!

How does it feel, Jay?

Wait. What did I smash?

Huh?

Who is Jay?

And, uh, who are all of you?

Uh, Dr. Robert, care to comment

on Jay's memory loss?

Well, uh, yes.

I've discovered what is wrong with Jay,

and it is nothing.

[gasps] You heard it here first! It's...

Wait. What?

At least nothing physically wrong.

All we can really do is wait and hope

his memory returns.

Oh, I beg to differ, Mr. Doctor.

There is something we can do. [gasps]

Make sure the world reads all about it.

[Crick grunts]

There it is. The first edition

of the

Yardian

newspaper.

Hot off the presses!

[Walter sighs]

[Postman Bee] Whoa, ho-ho-ho!

[laughs] Whoa!

[Morgs] Whoo!

-Oh!

-[yells]

[Postman Bee] Oh-ho-ho!

Ugh. Hey, a simple "no, thanks" will do.

Oh, my. Poor Jay.

So I live here?

You really don't remember, Jay?

Oh, you're talking to me? Sorry, Budge.

My name is Buzz.

That's what I said. Budge.

[Kumi] Surely, this will bring

something back.

It's your skateboard. You do

all sorts of, um, crazy tricks on it.

Uh-huh.

Oh, oh, oh! [grunts]

Uh, crazy like that?

No, much crazier.

Jay, Jay, I know

you're in there somewhere, old friend.

[gasps`] If you can hear me, blink twice.

Uh, but I can speak.

[sobbing] No, it's no use!

He's gone for good!

[clears throat] Look, I'm real sorry

about your friend.

If I knew how to get him back, I would.

Oh, maybe she will know.

Lucy!

What in the world are you doing here?

-Well, I read your newspaper, Walter.

-[chuckles]

♪ I read the news today

Oh, boy ♪

♪ About a lucky man who made the grade ♪

♪ And though the news was rather sad ♪

♪ Well, I just had to laugh ♪

[laughing]

♪ I saw the photograph ♪

Uh, are you sure that's me?

Ah! Of course, it's you.

It's in the news, after all.

♪ He didn't notice

That the lights had changed ♪

♪ A crowd of people turned away ♪

♪ But I just had to look


♪ Having read the book ♪

Ah, I'm just a humble news slug.

I wanna help you, Jay.

But these bugs

have already tried everything.

Maybe not everything.

[Lucy] This is where we begin.

All you need to do to restore your memory

is go through a day in the life.

Jay's life.

[sighs] But that's the problem!

I don't remember what a Jay-day is.

[chuckling] Oh, you don't, but they do.

We will help you 'member us!

Oh, uh, I guess it's worth a try!

♪ Woke up, got out of bed ♪

♪ Dragged a comb across my head ♪

♪ Found my way downstairs

And drank a cup ♪

♪ And looking up, I noticed I was late ♪

♪ Somebody spoke and I went into a dream ♪

Do you remember anything?

♪ Ah, ah, ah, ah ♪

♪ Ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah ♪

♪ Ah, ah, ah! ♪

♪ Ah, ah, ah ♪

♪ Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah ♪

Did it work? Do you remember who you are?

[stammering] Uh, I'm sorry.

Do I know you?

[all sigh]

I'm so sorry. I've done all I can.

Let's sleep on it.

He might be better in the morning.

[yawns]

-Hmm.

-[rooster crows]

[grunting] Good morning, bugs!

-[all gasp]

-You remember us?

Uh, it's, um, uh, Barbs, right?

Oh.

-[Jay] Whoa!

-[all gasp]

[Jay] Whoa!

Ugh! Oh!

[panting] Jay! Not again!

Are you okay?

Oh. [chuckles] Yeah, Walter,

just a bit of Jaction.

[gasps] He... He knows my name.

[grunts] Sure. Why wouldn't I?

And what exactly

did you mean by, uh, "Jaction"?

[chuckles] You know, Jay plus action.

[all cheering]

Uh, bugs, did I miss something?

Oh, yeah, um, you lost your memories

when you broke the bug speed record.

I did?

Wait, I broke the bug speed record?

You, uh, don't remember that?

Uh-uh. And you know what that means?

We have to do it all over again!

It's Jaction time!

[all sigh]

Just another day in the life.

[man] Oh, battery's running out.

Any closing remarks, Julia?

Something to remember this day by?

Um... [chuckles]

Once there was a superhero who was

twice as super as any hero before her.

She was super-super strong,

super-super fast and super-super brave.

She was Super-Super Oona.

But she had one teeny, tiny disadvantage.

She was also super-super small.

And the Gigants who were coming to squash

her village were super-super huge!

♪ Dear sir or madam

Will you read my book ♪

♪ It took me years to write

Will you take a look? ♪

[panting] Hey, bugs! Bugs!

I've got something to show you!

No way! So do we!

[laughs] And it's awesome!

[Jay grunts]

[Jay laughs]

Wow.

[laughs]

[both] Whoo-hoo!

[Buzz giggles]

-[Buzz laughs] Oh, no.

-[Jay grunts]

[Kumi gasps and chuckles]

Whoa! That's amazing!

Uh, how did you even do that?

That flower is perfect

and Jay was going so fast and...

Wow!

Uh, it's so... It's so...

[sadly] So much better than my book.

Now it's your turn!

Yeah, what did you wanna show us, Kumi?

[sighs] Nothin'. [chuckles]

I just realized

it's not actually even ready yet.

Uh, okay! Next time.

[sighs]

Come on, what would Oona do?

When things scared Oona,

she would just focus on putting

one foot in front of the other.

[thuds]

She put one foot in front of the other.

[bugs chattering]

Hey, Morgs! Um, I've got something to--

Shh. Sorry, Kumi,

we're just about to start.

[Walter clears throat]

Lady bugs and gentle-slugs! [chuckles]

Welcome to the world premiere

of my third and greatest ever memoir,

Eat. Pray. Eat Again.

[all cheer]

[clears throat]

Chapter number seven-eight-nine.

And, boy, did nine taste good! [chuckles]

[all laugh]

[bug] Yum, yum!

Oh, Walter's book is really funny. [sighs]

Way funnier than mine. Oh.

[expl*si*n in the distance]

Oh, Crick! I bet he'll like my book!

[panting]

-Crick, are you okay?

-[chuckles] Oh, I'm fine.

Uh, the Zoomer-Tron

is meant to, uh, smokenate.

-The what-er-tron?

-Uh, let me show you.

Okay, and then I have something

to show you, too.

-What did we miss?

-[Crick] Nothing yet.

Uh, I was just about to show Kumi

this cricktoglow

free-wheeling wheel I created.

[all] Whoa!

And I also created this self-driving,

uh, cricktoglow board.

[all] Whoa!

And then I upgraded

the cricktomatic Zoomer-Tron

with self-hovering

and cricktoglow technology.

-[Jay] Incredible! Amazing!

-[Buzz] Ha-ha! Awesome!

How long have you

been working on all this?

Oh! Uh, hmm, well, approximately, um...

Uh... since breakfast.

[sadly] Oh.

Now, uh, what did

you wanna show me, Kumi?

Oh! Is it ready now?

Uh, oh. Silly me.

It looks like I left it at home.

[chuckles] Maybe some other time.

Ooh. Uh... okay.

-Hey, Crick, what's this red button do?

-Oh. Uh, don't touch that.

Oops. Too late.

[Buzz and Jay] Whoa!

Wow, I've never seen a plot twist

that's an actual twist in the page before.

I know! And have you seen

what happens on page ?

No!

[bugs speak excitedly]

Hey, hey, Kumi, have you read this

cool comic book that fell from the sky?

It's called

Super-Super Oona

and it's the bestest book everer!

Oh, uh... Well, uh--

I'm thinking of adapting it for the stage.

Naturally, I would be the perfect choice

to play Super-Super Oona.

[chuckles] Uh, I don't know, Walter.

I think Kumi looks

more like Super-Super Oona.

[gasps] How could you say that?

Hi, come to Oona-Con. Come to Oona-Con!

Come to Oona-Con.

Come to Oona-Con. Hi, hi...

Curiously, we still don't know

who wrote

Super-Super Oona.

By my calculations, it fell from the sky

at a variable velocity

so, uh, perhaps the author is up there.

Uh... Well, actually, um, I...

Well, you see the thing is...

Uh, well, I know who wrote it.

[all] Who?

It's, um...

Um? Um, who? Is that someone's name?

No, no. It...

[chuckles] It's... me!

[gasps] Me? Who?

[chuckles] No! Me!

Me No Me! Huh. Never heard of her.

No, it's me! I wrote

Super-Super Oona!

[all gasp]

-[chuckles]

-No way!

Uh-huh.

Uh, but you've never mentioned

Super Oona before.

Uh, well, I just didn't think

anyone would like it.

You bugs all have things

you're good at and...

And I guess I wasn't really sure

if I was good at this.

But this is the awesomest thing everer!

Was it really, really you, Kumi?

Yeah, Buzz. Here, I'll show you.

See?

[all gasp and cheer]

[chuckles] That's so awesome!

[gasps] Kumi, can you tell us

what happens next?

Well...

[gasps]

Oona may have defeated

the Gigants and saved the village,

but now she has to face

an even greater enemy, the Stompinator!

The evil Gigants have created

an even more evil bug-squashing robot

called the Stompinator.

And they're sending it back in time

to defeat Super-Super Oona,

before she can defeat them in the future.

[thuds]

To face the Stompinator,

Oona will need help from the B Team,

the greatest Super-Super team ever!

And that's

Super-Super Oona

issue two: "Defeat the Feet."
