(Honking)

Whoa!



Whoa!

Ah!





You know what I sometimes

wish?

Yeah!

For a big pie the size of a

suitcase!

(Munching)

Pie!

No.

I wish instead of learning

inside a dusty old school, we

could travel the world visiting

historic sites, natural wonders.

Yeah!

And the place where the Booger

Monkeys hide before they sneak

in at night to fill up your

nose!

Then again, maybe school’s

not a bad idea.

Guys, wait up!

(Brakes squealing)

(Purring)

Welcome back, man.

Feeling better?

Yeah.

The cops told Gram-Gram if she

ever tries cooking for us again,

she’s going to jail.

(Clanging)

Oh!

(Bubbling)

(Sizzling)

Bad, bad!

Bad meal!

(Coughing)

Down!

Dig in!

I drew these pictures while I

was recovering.

My dad was especially ill.

So, what did I miss in class?

ACEActually, we’re doing

"The Digestive SystemFriend or

Foe?"

(Munching)

(Brakes squealing)

Whoa!

He runs pretty good for a guy in

a wheelchair.

(Sizzling)

(Buzzing)

Gah!

(Banging)

(Groaning)

(Squishing)

What a jerk.

Now, now, Ace.

It’s okay for him to park there.

After all, he is handicapped.

His car only has two wheels.

(Engine revving)

(Metal screeching)

(Crashing)

When you think about it, having

a special place to park just

’cause you can’t walk is pretty

funny.

I mean, we don’t let people with

bad taste park closer to the

clothing store.

(Honking)

What do you think?

(All laughing)

GOONGood one, man!

Then the gastric enzymes mix

with the mucus, forming a gooey

digestible mass.

(Gasping)

Now, who would like to put their

hand in my small intestine?

(All gurgling, gagging)

Ah, yes.

The regurgitation reflex!



(All shouting inside)

(Whinnying)

(Braying)

(Bell ringing)



(Crashing)

Oh!

This is the worst day of my

life!

The school newspaper goes to

press in an hour and we have

nothing for the cover!

Nothing!

Nothing, nothing, nothing!

Julie, you’re fizzing my

soda!

Oh.

I sent my photographer to the

exotic flower show--

(Buzzing)

Apparently, a few thousand tiny

k*ller bee stings are enough to

put some people in the hospital.

All I got was this!

Gee, I wish there was

something I could do.

I need something light,

something funny!

(Gasping)

You draw stuff!

Can I use one of your cartoons?

Well, sure, but what does it

have to be about?

About five by seven.

(Drum hitting)

(Gasping)

This is perfect!

And funny.

You rock!

Thanks!

Bye!

I rock!

Whoa-- whoa!

Whoa!

Family announcement.

Gram-Gram’s second cooking night

has been, uh, cancelled.

Boo!

(Grumbling)

And Kate’s making dinner.

(Grunting)

Aah!

Shouldn’t we finish the

repairs from Gram-Gram’s meal

before we let Kate experiment on

us?

Now, Pelswick, everyone in

this family is an equal member

and should have an equal chance

to express themselves in the

kitchen.

Until it’s Gram-Gram’s turn

again.

Then we call the police.

Arr!

It’s ready!

(Plopping)

Texture?

Chewy, with an aftertaste

like licking a bathtub plug.

I got just the thing!

(Cracking)

You know, I’ve been studying

the digestive tract at school

and I’m really not sure it’s up

to this.

You eat what’s in front of

you or there’ll be no dessert.

And I’m not telling where I hid

your computer.

COMPUTER VOICEYou’ve got

mange!

Rar?

So, what else happened today,

sport?

(Crashing)

Not much.

Unless you count me getting my

first cartoon published in the

Alcatraz Bugle Tribune!

(Squishing)

Woo-hoo!

That’s my grandson.

That’s fabulous!

Mrow!

(Drilling)

Aah!

Someone push my face into my

plate!

You liked my cartoon?

Oh, well, thank you.

Sure, I’ll autograph the cover

for you.

Ladies, ladies, please.

One at a time.

Yah!

Ugh, don’t do that.

You know, you really should

be using something with more

fluoride and less me.

Although, one out of five

dentists does recommend me.

Huh!

Wait, I know how this

guardian angel stuff works.

You only show up when

something’s wrong.

You read the handbook.

So few people do.

Speaking of reading, great

school newspaper.

Love the article about

Vice-Principal Zeigler’s

vacation in Puerto Rico.

I am so jealous!



Aah!

Wait a minute.

That doesn’t come out ’til

tomorrow.

Where did you get it?

From tomorrow.

I was just passing through it on

the way back to today and I

picked up a copy to read on my

astral plane.

My favourite part is this

cartoon on the cover.

That’s mine!

You drew this?

I am so impressed!

This may be the funniest horse

in a wheelchair joke I’ve seen

all year!

Could you autograph it for me

with your toothbrush?

Sure!

So, what is wrong?

In fact, this cartoon reminds

me of the work of Voltaire and

Vaclav Havel.

Vaclav and Voltaire?

Aren’t they that new rap group

from Austria?

♪ Yo butt

♪ Yo butt

♪ Yo B-B-B-B butt

♪ Body, butt

♪ Big big butt man

Not exactly.

Look ’em up.

Gotta go.

Left my wallet in next

Wednesday.

(Splashing)

Ooh!

(Draining)

Aah!

You know, this tastes a lot like

your sister’s cooking.



Wait!

I’ve been on the phone all

morning to crooked lawyers.

They want to see the contract

for your cartoony thing.

I don’t have one.

I just handed it to Julie.

No contract?

I’ll call you right back, baby.

That means you own it!

Oh, we can reprint it on mugs,

t-shirts, mouse pads, trumpet

player spit hankies and keep all

the bucks for ourselves!

Yee-haw!

I’ll get on it as soon as I

land!

(Crashing)

I can’t wait to see the

newspaper.

Hey, you ever hear of a guy

named Voltaire?

Yeah!

I think he invented pigs.

Er, no, wait-- was that Sir

Francis Bacon?

Actually, Voltaire was a

French writer in the late th

century who--

Holy cow!

It’s a quarter to nine and

they’re sold out?

Ah!

Ah, I’m a hit!

Yeah, I’m a monster!

Oh, I’m a superstar!

♪ I’ve got a butt, a butt ♪

♪ A big, big butt

♪ Butt, butt, butt, butt

♪ Big, big butt

Julie did you, uh, save me a

copy?

There aren’t any copies.

What do you mean?

Because of your cartoon, the

newspaper’s been banned!

♪ Butt-diddy, butt-diddy

♪ Big, big, big

♪ Butt-diddy, butt-diddy

(Muttering)

Now, Ms. Smockford, I want

you to know--

Ouch!

That this isn’t an inquisition.

This so-called cartoon--

Ouch!

Demonstrates a disturbing lack

of sensitivity towards our

differently-abled friends.

I was personally offended.

I was offended, too.

Me too.

Oh, my face almost fell off!

I demand to know--

Ow, oh, ow!

The name of the insensitive thug

who drew this.

Before I compromise my

journalistic integrity by

revealing my sources, I’ll

perish under the hot, hot,

burning, blazing sun.

(Weakly)Please don’t

mention the sun.

(Sizzling)

Ahh.

You’re suspended?

What’s that mean?

She’s not allowed to come to

school, Goon.

Wow!

Way to go!

Just because you won’t tell

them I drew the cartoon?

This is bigger than you and

me, Pelswick.

It’s bigger than all of us!

It’s not bigger than Germany.

That place is huge, man!

I went there one summer with my

dad--

Autobahn?

Ein gross highway?

Von vroom-vroom?

(Didgeridoo playing)

When I signed on as editor, I

swore an oath to protect my

sources.

You are my source.

I’m your source?

You must promise me you won’t

tell anyone you drew that

cartoon.

Not ever!

No matter what they do to you.

No matter what they do to me.



Yo, bro!

Heard about that gnarly picture

some little brain drew.

Sorry, wheelchair dude.

You got, like, any idea who drew

it?

I couldn’t say right now, but

um, didn’t you think it was just

a little bit funny maybe?

This is school.

There’s no place for funny.

ALLPelswick, Pelswick!

They’ll find out soon

who drew that unfunny rude

cartoon!

Yay!

(Sighing)

Which swept through the area

last night causing millions in

property damage and thousands

of dollars in hair-do mussing

up.

On a more serious note, at

Alcatraz Junior High, a

shocking drawing has teachers

and students outraged.

Bullies at the school were so

upset, weak skinny kids had to

b*at themselves up.

What a shame.

No one got to see your cartoon

because of this offensive one.

Either way, tonight’s Bobby’s

turn to cook.

Do you want some strained beets

in a baby bottle?

Poor Julie.

Suspended for my silence.

How ironic.

For they will never silence me!

Wanna buy some oranges?

That’s when I realized

everyone’s offended about

something they haven’t even

seen!

Did you check out my advice?

What are you doing?

It’s called "Butt Ball".

It’s going to be the big

sensation a week from Thursday.

Wanna try?

No.

I promised Julie I wouldn’t tell

who drew it.

But I didn’t promise I wouldn’t

show it to other people.

When they see how harmless it is

and funny, by the way, they’re

bound to let her back.

To show how sorry I am, I’m

going to let you slap my

sunburn.

But no seconds-ies!

I see now why this goes out

of style six weeks from Sunday.

"Post file to webpage"?

Yes.

With any luck, the whole

problem’s about to go away.



What’s this?

(Laughing)

That’s really funny!

(Laughing)

Look at that horse!

(Laughing)

MANIn three, two--

(Laughing)

Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve

just been handed the most

disturbing piece of artwork.

Viewers who are easily offended

by vile, disgusting, poopy

doo-doo drawings should turn

away.

(Chuckling)

(Clearing throat)

We must find who drew that

insulting, offensive cartoon.

Call in the Federal Agents!

Ow, oh, aah!

And someone find me a really big

jar of skin lotion.

(Tires screeching)

(Growling)



That’s it!

Rift, search!

Find that evil drawing!

Go, sniff!

(Growling)

Be careful, sir.

You’re the exact colour of a

doggy beef treat.

Oh, dear.

Yes.

Arrest anyone who even looks

like he has a sense of humour!

He’s got a funny rubber chicken.

Grab him!

(Crashing)

(Thinking)Aren’t they the

dudes with that hip-hop song,

"Yo Butt"?

MR. JIMMYLook ’em up.

Voltaire.

Pretty cool for a dead guy.

What’s happening?

Some knucklehead put your

cartoon on the net and it’s on,

like, TV.

It’s a well-known fact that

percent of people cr*ck under

interrogation and tell

everything.

Goon just admitted to eating a

worm when he was three.

Yeah, that’s him.

(Gulping)



Lucky there’s nothing

connecting you to that drawing,

dude.

Yeah.

Phew.

(Bell ringing)

(Tires screeching)

Yes, siree, folks!

There’s nothing funnier than a

horse in a wheelchair!

Ha ha!

Aah!

Get your horse cartoon mugs,

t-shirts, whoopee cushions,

mouse pads, wind chimes!

Use the whoopee cushion on the

wind chimes.

(Sputtering, chiming)

All drawn and copyrighted and

owned outright by my grandson.

Pelswick Eggert.



(Gulping)

Okay, you got me.

Punish me, slap the cuffs on-- I

can take it!

Punish you?

(Laughing)

Ow!

(Laughing)

Ow!

You aren’t being punished.

We thought the cartoon was very

funny, didn’t we?

(Laughing)

As long as a differently-abled

person drew it, where’s the

harm?

Now, let’s forget the whole

thing.

(Sizzling)

Aah!

What do you mean where’s the

harm?

You’ve got cartoon-sniffing dogs

out there!

And Julie’s suspended.

That’s like what they did to

Voltaire and Havel.

The rappers?

♪ Yo butt, yo butt

♪ Yo biggy, biggy butt

♪ Butt-diddy, butt-diddy

♪ Yo biggy, biggy butt

I’ll have a pair of Horse in

a Wheelchair underwear, please.

Oh!

And one of those.



(Sputtering)

No, not the rappers!

Those German guys who train

the tigers?

Oh, I love that big, snarly

lion.

Roar!

Ha!

No!

Two guys who stuck up for the

right to say what they believe.

And went to jail for it.

One of them became president of

his country and the other one

became--

Uh, some French guy.

Julie was suspended for printing

a cartoon you didn’t like until

you knew I drew it.

But now you know.

And I’m not being punished.

If I’m not, why should Julie be?

You’re right.

That’s not fair.

It’s not right to unfairly

punish Julie and not unfairly

punish you.

You’re suspended, too.

Huh?

Hey!

How come I’m not suspended?

I wore the hat!

I ate the worm, man!

Did you ever eat a worm?

Uh, it’s not bad, actually.

Whoa!

I recorded this whole ugly

incident for the next issue.

And this time, I’m putting it on

the web where I can’t be

silenced.

(Chuckling)

Since you have a week off

school, would you like to come

over and work on it?

(Harp strumming)

Would I!

I mean, yeah, sure, if you want

me to.

What’s our next cover story?

"Publisher Suspended, Artist

Silenced."

(Door slamming)

(Squeaking)

"And Synthetic Chicken

Strip-Searched!"

Wait!

You say hate put you in there

but love’s going to bust you

out?

(Squeaking)

Can you draw a chicken?!



I’m home!

For a week.

My turn to cook?

We’ve been eating too much

heavy food.

It’s time for exercise.

Yee-haw!

♪ Yo butt, yo butt

♪ Yo biggy, biggy butt

You think that’s a crummy

fad?

Wait ’til next Friday and the

battery-powered face inflator.

(Stretching)

(Popping)

Oh!
