Post by bunniefuu »

What is wrong
with this machine?

Come on.

It's been minutes,
and I have had no alien contact!

Hi, Dexter!

Can you get miss Brenda
some sugar for her tea?

Sure. One lump or ?
Huh?

Dee Dee,
what are you doing

inside of my
alien communicator?

I'm having a tea party,
you silly.

Will you get out
of my machine?!

Fine.

Miss Brenda doesn't
like you, anyway.

Now let us see
if this thing will work.

Hooray! The aliens have landed!
The aliens have landed!

Welcome to Dexter's laboratory.

Well, what do you think?

[Speaking alien language]

Oh, wait a second.

I forgot to use
my audio translator.

Ok. Ready to go.

As you can see,

only a human with
an ingenious I.Q.
Like myself

could have built
such a spectacle
of science.

I'm sorry,
but here in the lab,

we give
each other feet
of personal space.

You will come with us, human,
for further examination.

Yipe!

Hi!

Dee Dee,
what are you--

hmm. Interesting
specimen.

I mean, Dee Dee,
so good of you
to join us.

Who are your
funny-looking friends?

[Sniffing]

Eugh!

Dee Dee,
these are my friends
from far away.

They're going on a trip
to, uh, candyland.

I would go, but I
don't want to get
experimented on.

I mean, um, uh...

I'm not hungry.

Candyland? Let's go!

Ooh! Pretty light!

Now where's that candy?

[Speaking
alien language]

Bye, Dee Dee!
Bye-bye!

Finally I am rid
of my sister forever,

and I can enjoy conducting
my experiments in peace.

Ahh! Sweet silence.

Heh heh heh.

Mother: Kids, dinnertime!

Hey, mom,
what's for dinner?

Well, Dexter,
creamed corn
and sliced Dee Dee.

Dexter, could you
help me set the table?

Uh, sure, mom.

Dexter, have you
seen your sister?

Uh, she went to spend the night
at her friend's place.

Mo...mom, may I
be excused?

But, honey,
you haven't even
touched your food.

I'm not very hungry.

It is very lonely here
without you.

I...

I can't even work.

[Crying]

Dee Dee: Help me, Dexter.

Hold on, Dee Dee.
I am coming.

[Alarm]

Computer,
commence flight preparations

for the star hammer
pursuit interceptor.

I am en route to launch pad .
Pronto.

Computer: Star hammer
is cleared for launch.

[Ruff ruff]

Dexter: Don't worry, Dee Dee.
I am coming to save you.

Aah!

Ha ha ha!

Candy! Candy! Candy!
Candy! Candy!

Any candy here?

Aha! There she is!

Ooh. Is this where you hide
the candy?

Eugh!

Dexter: I have you now.

Trying to escape me, eh?

Not so fast.

Mmm! Is this where
the candy is hiding?

Ooh! Is this Taffy?

Oh, my sweet pajamas.

They have disappeared
into hyperspace.

Aah!

Aaaah!

All right! Give up the girl,
you spacey paste eaters!

Hi, Dexter!

Did you come to get
some candy, too?

No, I came
to take you home.

Well, we're not leaving
until we get some candy!

What's candy?

Hurry! Go get
her something!

Hurry! Hurry!
Hurry! Hurry!

Ooh! What does
this button do?

Ooh! What's that?
Ooh! Ooh!

Ahh!

The justice friends--
of earth's mightiest heroes...

Joining forces under one roof...

To face the challenge
of everyday life.

Starring major glory...

Valhallen...

And the infragible krunk in...

What now?
Duckie.

Yeah. Comb?

Mirror?

Yeah.

Fridge.

Yeah.

Couch.

Hey,
puppet pal clem?

What?

Whoa!

Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

[Gurgling]

Why you break toilet,
blondie?

Dude, don't even
go there, dude.

You know you
broke it, dude.

Major glory:
What's going on in there?

I'm still waiting
to take a shower.

We better fix before
flagman find out.

Uh...ok.

I pledge allegiance
to the flag...

No, no.

I pledge allegiance...

Hmm. I pledge allegiance
to the flag

of the United States of America
and to the republic...

This is crazy.

Krunk no like basement.

Aah! Aah!

No. The republic--

uh, flagman, flagman!

We went into the basement
to fix a clog in the pipe,

and we saw something
down there.

It was nasty, dude.
You got to help us.

All right. All right.
Just get off of me, will you?
I'm naked!

Who goes there?
Show yourself!

It is i--ratman--

the darkest, most feared
vigilante of all time!

Behold my cavernous rat cave.

Uh, dude, I think you're
a little confused, dude.

This is our basement.

Nonsense!
Do not attempt your
clever ruse on me.

Quickly identify
yourselves

before I am forced
to take extreme action!

Why, we're
the justice friends,
of course.

We're superheroes.

And this
is our basement,

so you'd better
start explaining

what you're doing
down here.

It all started long ago.

There I was,
a mere child of ,
living with my parents--

a happy family.

It was movie night.
We had just seenBen,

and I must admit, I was
a little excited by the film

and was jumping around
like a giddy schoolgirl

when a large sewer rat
emerged from the depths of
the hideous underground...

Aah! Aah!

Scaring both
of my parents away...

Forever!

Leaving me,
a mere child of ,

to fend for myself
in the cruel city.

Fortunately for me,
the rats took me in,

cared for me, fed me,
and clothed me,

taught me the way of the rodent,

got me into
top physical condition,

and even sent me
to vocational school.

Alas, I inherited
their vast fortune,

thus becoming ratman--
feared creature of the night.

You are a very
disturbed little man.

You do know that,
don't you?

Uh, wait, dude.
Your story
don't add up.

I mean, aren't the rats
the ones who scared
your parents away?

Then, what? Ratman,
what's the motivation
here?

Are you, um, like,
avenging your parents,
or...

What do you mean?

I got the costume, the belt.
What's not to get?

The generator!
It's about to blow!

Justice friends,
assemble!

att*ck!

Valhallen!

I'm all washed-up, dude.

Huh? Grr!

Krunk!

Krunk!

Krunk! Major glory!

Whoo!

Will you guys quit playing
with the boiler?

I'm trying to tell you
my origins story.

No! No!

Awesome!

Wow.

Now, where was I?

Oh, yeah. The hideous,
cruel, dark blackness
of the night.

So, Mr. Ratman,
they tell me you're
a crime fighter, eh?

Huh?

Of course
I'm a crime fighter!

What the heck have
I been talking about?

Well, how would you
like to become a member

of the greatest
crime-fighting team
in the biz--

the justice friends!

How much does it pay?

Well, we pay standard
journeyman scale for
superhero crime fighters

plus a health,
dental...

Hmm.

And vision plan.

Cool!

Psych!

Just joshin'.

Heh heh heh!

So what's first
on the agenda?

Let's get cracking.

Now, now,
don't you worry,
little man.

We've got a very
special job for you.

Uh! Oh, I'm b*at.

What a battle!

Krunk sore!

All I want to do
is chill and watch
the tube.

You can depend
on dippy diapers.

If your baby's drippy,
just say dippy.

[Static]

Ratman is here!

Show yourself,
evil scourge of justice!

Gee, it's been
kind of slow lately.

I mean, the blender last week,
the toaster before that.

Where's all the archvillains
and psychopathic K*llers?

I'm ready.
I can take them all.

I got all these cool things...

Dee Dee! Dee Dee!

I heard
this great joke!
Ha ha ha!

Ok. Here it goes.

A physics professor
and his assistant

were working
on liberating

negatively charged
hydroxyl ions

when all of a sudden
the assistant says,

"wait, professor.

"What if
the salicylic acids

don't accept
the hydroxyl ion?"

And the professor
responds,

"that's no hydroxyl ion,
that's my wife."

Ha ha ha!

Hey, Earl. How's life
treating you?

Don't ask.

Too late.
I already did.

Let's see.
What do we have here?

Anything for me?
Anything for me?

Anything for me?

What about me?
Anything for me?

Why do you always
copy me?

Look, hon. There's
some mail here

for our little man
of the family.

Oh, cool!

What is this?

Publishers sweepinghouse?

Dee Dee, there is
one here for you, too.

Oh, boy!
I could be eligible

for a chance at
winning an opportunity
to be eligible to win--

do you know
what the odds are

of you winning
something like that?

You have got
a better chance

of finding it
on the playground.

A bill?

million?

But I'm just a kid.

Where am I going to find
that kind of money?

Place the stamp here
for a free clock
with purchases.

Dad, we need to have
a talk, man-to-man.

Yeah, sure, son.

Publishers sweepinghouse
will have you saying
"it's fun to be rich."

Ho ho ho!

It's about
my allowance.

Pay attention, dad.

Now, if you started me
at the rate of cents
a week at age

but in months of that
year it was raised to
cents a week,

ok, if it would
continue to raise at
an exponential rate

compounded with
the rate of inflation...

Sounds fair.

And furthermore
factoring in

the survey of the other
kids in the neighborhood

averaged into the statistics
of allowance rates

not only here
in this country,

but all over the world,

I should be making
$ . million weekly.

Hmm. Can't argue
with the facts,

but you'll have
to settle for

a quarter of a million
this time, champ.

Drat!

What about me?

Well, according
to Dexter's charts
and graphs,

you should get bucks
because you're older.

Hi, Dexter!

[Telephone rings]

Mother: Dexter, telephone!

Hello?

Man: This is
the NASA payment
collection agency.

We still haven't
received your
payment here.

Did you
get our notice?

Uh, I don't think so.

I don't see it here.

I've been busy here.

I have been having trouble
getting my mail,

and I have to leave
the country.

Ok. Well, do you know

that you only have days
left to pay it, then?

But the notice says
I've got days!

Oh, so youdid
receive our notice,
then?

Drat!

What you doing,
Dexter?

Huh? Get out of here,
Dee Dee.

I am trying
to have a sale
and make some cash.

A sale? Well, I'm going
to have a sale, too.

So?

Go ahead.

Step right up,
ladies and gentlemen,

for the finest
in home electronics--

time traveler,
atomic smashing devices.

Come on up.
Don't be shy.

What can I do you for?

Uh, yeah. How much
for this cool glowy
thingy?

That, my good friend,

is no mere
glowing thingy,

but a nuclear
nitroliquid.

Oh, I just wanted
a cool glowing thingy.

[Woman screaming]

[Sirens]

Hmm. I better
take care of that later.

Hey, mister, how much
for the giant ant?

How much for the cool
glowing thingy?

A dollar.

How much for the video
game patterns book?

Heh heh heh.
That one's not for sale.

We shall take
your light converters.

Fine. That will be .
for the pair.

I said we shalltake
your light converters.

Like I said, take them,
they're yours.

$ . , $ . , $ .
and , , --

how'd you do, Dexter?

I'll do your homework.
I guarantee an "a."

The price?
Only $ , a page.

Oh! No, no, no, no!

Fine, then! See if
you graduate Harvard
by yourself!

[Doorbell rings]

It's dek McMahon!

Dee Dee, there's someone
here to see you!

Here you go, Dee Dee.

You're our
$ million winner.

Ho ho ho!

Holy cow!

What do you say,
Dee Dee?

Thanks!

No problem, Dee Dee.
Just put it
in a safe spot.

I will!

This is ridiculous!

I need to make some loot!

Oh, boy!

Now only $ , ,
left to go.

[Doorbell rings]

Dexter, there's some men
from NASA here to see you.

Uh, tell them
I'll be right down.

[Teeth chattering]

She does have more than enough.

[Gasps]

But what if I get caught?

Oh!

No, no. I will never resort
to stealing.

A man of my stature
and intelligence

would never resort
to common thievery.

Dexter!

[Sighs]

Oh, Dexter, you know I would
have loaned you the money...

If only you had just asked.

Oh, the shame!

Would it be ok
if I asked you now

if it would be ok
if I could please
borrow the money?

May I please
borrow the money?

Um...ok, but only
under one condition.

Dee Dee, keep your
things out of my side
of the lab!

Sorry, Dexter.

Enter at
your own peril,

past
the bolted door

where impossible
things may happen

that the world's
never seen before.
