Guys. I just read something incredible on the DSFB.
Dudley's... Spaghetti... Food Blog?
David Steele Fan Board!
There I was, 80 webpages deep, already late for school,
when I read that the only copy
of the legendary missing issue #13
David Steele: Stuck in the Rust Belt
is located in our very town!
- You're kidding! - What?!
I have long dreamed
of finding out how David escapes the abandoned auto factory
and if he ever meets his long lost twin brother!
So where's the comic??
The ComicBook Nook!
Oh, that new girl's family's store?!
Yup!
Let's go ask New Girl
if she'll show it to us!
Her name is Kara, guys.
I'll handle it. [munching]
I'm easily the most fly in the group.
Ugh, Rusty, stop blowing your spicy cheese breath at me!
It's making me-- Achoo!
That sounds like a you prob.
'Cause me thinks these are delish.
What up, Kara?
So I heard about issue 13.
What are the chances a guy like me
could possibly take a peek sometime?
Hmmm. Let me do the math.
If I carry the "no chance"
and add a "not on your life," it's... zero percent.
[groans]
That nut's not cracking.
Pfft! That sounds like a you prob.
Let me try.
[sighs] Sorry, about my friend.
Obviously you'd only allow a true comic connoisseur
like myself to read-- Achoo!
Ugh. Stupid cheese puffs!
Uh, you can have my tots.
And no. Sorry. Bye.
[groans]
So much for just asking her.
And our best people were on it.
Action News Team!
Thanks for the piece about me.
The other teachers had no idea
I once escaped a collapsing underwater cave
using my webbed feet,
and believe me,
they were impressed!
[everyone winces]
Wait, that gives me an idea!
Oh, don't worry it has nothing to do
with Bolhofner's feet.
Huh?
Let me guess. Issue 13?
Huh, what? I have no idea what you're talking about!
I'm here on behalf of the Action News Team.
You may have heard of us...
I've seen your show.
I liked the one about Bolhofner's webbed feet.
Thanks! We want to film a new student profile
that would be all about you.
Your interests, hobbies, favorite foods.
Why would you wanna do that?
For fun! It'll be a great way for everyone to know you!
Are you free, I don't know, after school?
- Today? - I work at my family's
comic book store after school, so...
Oh shoot. I guess we can't do it...
Unless! If you're cool with it, we could just film there?
Hmm... okay. I'll see you guys there.
Yes! [singsong] I did it! I-I did it!
Okay, you know the plan.
Take these, so we can communicate secretly.
Sorry, Lana was playing with yours
and dropped it in Charles' water bowl.
- It might... - [Zach shrieks]
...zap you. Occasionally.
But it's a mild zap.
Easy for you to say.
Why are you standing out here?
Just getting some fresh air!
[sniffs] And that's enough!
Now let's get you gussied up for the camera.
Whoa, cool scar!
Oh, thanks. Hockey puck.
I was five, I think?
Whoa! You play hockey?!
- Wow! - That's so cool!
[laughs, snorts]
Whoa, you have friends?
Oh, get lost, Josh.
[laughs, blows raspberry]
And stop taking my snacks!
Younger sibling?
Yeah, I have plenty of those myself.
Hmm... We need more light. I'll go look for something.
And we're rolling!
So, Kara, what are your hobbies?
Comic book collecting, obviously...
board games, ice-fishing, oh, making dishes
from recipes people write on their headstones.
Really?! Awesome! And macabre. What have you made?
[Zach] Agent Gurdle reporting. I'm in.
- Will advise on progress. - Copy!
I mean, toffee. Have you made that?
Hmm. Aha!
Engaging super speed!
- [papers rustling] - Gah!
Finger cramp!
Ooh! Is that Commander Blork?!
First Lieutenant Bleck?! Officer Splork?!
[making fighting sounds]
Wait, you rode The Big Dipper?!
Um, five times.
I'm kind of obsessed with water slides.
What's the big deal?
It's a 40-story drop! Tallest water slide
in North America!
Whoa!
[laughs]
[Zach] I'm gonna get you! No! Ah!
Take that, evil space worm!
Ugh, Zach's been compromised.
Oh my foot's asleep! Need to walk!
Liam, keep shooting without me.
[chuckles]
[making fighting sounds]
- Hmm. - [laughs nervously]
I was just looking for the comic!
Uh-huh. Time to swap out.
Found the soft light!
- Gah! - Gah!
If I were hiding something valuable
I'd put it somewhere like...
Here!
Guys! I found a secret room!
The comic has to be inside! But it's locked with a keypad.
Ask questions that might be the number combo!
Time for Rust-Dawg to ask burning questions.
- What's your birthday? - June 25th.
0-6-2-5-?? Tight, tight...
That didn't work, try another!
What's your mom's fav numbers? Parents' anniversary?
These are your burning questions?
Abort, Stella. Rusty's bombing. Let's swap, I have an idea!
[yelps]
Ow, uh, I mean wow, ha,
I'm super excited for this interview.
I gotta call my mom!
I forgot to tell her I left the sink on, full blast.
That sounds made up...
Speaking of made up, you're the author
of four published comic books.
What was your inspiration for this one?
Paula Bunyan vs the Lumberjerx?
Hmm... Perfect time to use
my David Steele UV light fingerprint detector!
It has to be some combination of these numbers.
Okay, let me see...
- [keys beeping] - [buzzes]
- [keys beeping] - [chirps]
Bingo!
I'm in! But I need to switch with Rusty.
This is his area of expertise.
You sew your own cosplay outfits,
your grandma is an astronaut,
and you've beaten every level of Muscle Fish: Fish-a-ganza?
I'd feel lucky to claim any one of those!
I, for one, am really glad we did this interview.
We never would have known any of this!
Yeah! You should hang with us sometime!
For real! I could use another girl in the group.
[laughs]
Actually, that sounds fun, thanks.
I called my mom, it's all good!
Only the first floor was flooded.
Guys, I gotta... my fly might be down and I need to check!
Aw, yeah. This is so my area.
Oh! Ah, yeah. Ha. [grunts]
[lasers powering down]
[Rusty screams]
Rusty, what is it?!
[Rusty] Issue 13 is guarded
by a ginormous spider!!
Critters are my territory. I got this.
I'm back.
My fly was totally busted, so I improvised.
Your Dad has style.
Those are my mom's.
Uh, hey, Rusty, you film.
My bladder's fixin' to burst!
[growls]
Hey, little feller.
Goochy-goochy-goo. Aren't you cute?
[Liam] Huh? Ow! Ow!
Don't you bite me! [screams]
What's going on?
Uh, nothing! Nothing at all.
Maybe put that back where you found it.
[Liam] Oops! Hope Kara didn't hear me hollerin'
while I'm back here snooping around her secret room!
Wait! We can explain!
[screams] Huh?
Shh. It's okay.
Why are you stealing my turkey sandwich?
Your what? Wait... so you set up all this security
to protect a sandwich?
Yeah! My little brother always takes my snacks.
Oh, I get it now.
You were snooping for the comic
and the interview was just a way to distract me.
You didn't really want to get to know me.
Wow... just wow...
[melancholy music playing]
[everyone gasps]
Well, here it is.
- Whoa! - Whoa!
I would have let you read it.
I only said no to Rusty because he has cheesy fingers.
[slurping sounds]
And Zach was sneezing on everything!
Achoo!
Go ahead and read it.
Just leave me alone after you do.
And you two, wash your hands first!
Kara, wait!
You can stop pretending you want to be my friend.
We can't let this happen.
[munching]
Hey, Kara.
We don't care about issue 13 anymore.
We're really sorry we hurt your feelings.
Yeah, and it's true that we tricked you.
But after two minutes, we knew we wanted to be your friend.
Can we have another chance?
We have so much in common! Please say yes!
[school bell ringing]
The Action News Team went behind the scenes
with new girl Kara, owner of the David Steele
missing issue 13... but turns out,
that's not close to the coolest thing about her.
She's got a mean slap shot,
and writes page-turning comics.
And you don't want to mess with her,
because she's really good at booby traps...
Mom! Kara netted me again!
[Lincoln] The highlight of getting to know Kara
is she's now our friend!
Thanks, you guys.
K-Dawg, now that we're buds, mind if I grab your tots?
[growls]
[Rusty gasps and screams]
[everyone laughs]
