This way, kids.
Wow, so many kinds of seeds and feeds!
And a salt lick!
Now, Cricket, you keep licking that
and you'll ruin your dinner.
What can I say? I love salt.
Wow, the feeding seed is just as I remember it.
Yep, sure great for us
all to be back in See-mol-ton!
You got that ri-- Remy, are you okay?
Why are you talking like that?
Talking like what? A normal country guy?
So I guess Remy's just doing his own thing today.
Hmm.
- Good Ol' Joe! - Good Ol' Bill!
Hey, you happen to know where the wheat grain is?
Sure do, it's right over... there.
Look who it is.
Put her there, Joe.
Actually, I gotta go.
- But what about your wheat grain? - Who the heck is this guy?
The name's Josh-wa.
Not Josh, not Josh-ooh-a. Josh-wa!
Your daddy ought to know. Shake an old pal's hand, Bill.
Oh, no. I don't think that would turn out well.
If you'll excuse me, I've got to get our shopping done.
Sir, may I ask you why
no one wants to shake your hand?
Has any of your recent farm work involved manure?
The reason is they're scared.
I'm know around these parts for having a mighty firm handshake.
Pfft, a handshake? It can't be that strong.
Insolent child!
Josh-wa's got the firmest grip in the county.
It's all right, boys, it's all right.
Well then, little man.
- How 'bout a shake? - Eh, whatever.
Ah, oh...
Golly!
He done pulverized your hand!
First off, Remy, what?
Second, why's your hand so strong, Josh-wa?
'Cause I'm strong, boy!
Don't you know country folk
are only as strong as their handshake!
And no offense, kid, but you got a dishrag grip.
I crushed you with just 10% of my power.
Well, I never. Cricket, is your hand okay?
Yeah, but my pride ain't. I had no idea I was a dishrag.
Josh-wa's as strong as an ox.
Everyone respects his awesome power.
Put 'er there!
Ow, I want that.
I just need to get stronger.
I'll train these weak little noodles into fingies of steel.
You hear me, Josh-wa?
Next time you see me,
I'll be crushing your hand!
And your momma's hand, and your granddaddy's hand!
I'mma crush your soul!
Yee-haw!
Hmm?
Cricket, don't tell me you're still hung up
on what Josh-wa told you? A person's strength
is not defined by their handshake.
Easy for you to say, you wouldn't even shake his hand.
I probably got my baby hands from you! Genetics!
Well, these baby hands are gonna go make themselves
a tasty sandwich.
- Want one? - No!
- Mmm. - Hey, brother.
Care to join our melon balling?
It's more fun than a bucket full of weasels.
No can do, I gotta work on my grip.
Tilly, hold my calls.
Uh, okay.
All right.
Time to beef this baby up.
Ah, come on!
Oh, that's a tough one. Grr, next one!
Ah! What are these things made of?
Oh, there's gotta be something in here that'll work.
Oh, Butterscotch!
How about a little brushin'?
Wow, you've got a few knots in here,
perfect for me to toughen this grip.
Whoa! Whoa, girl! Whoa!
I don't know what I did, but I'm sorry!
Hello?
Anyone?
Ah, man.
Hey, Cricket, where are you?
It's been a--
- Oh, my gosh! - Cricket!
How long have you been dangling there?
When I started, that big old yellow ball was way over there.
Okay, jump down, brother. We got you.
- Thanks, guys. - Cricket, I think it's time
you give up your pursuit of palm power.
Yeah.
I'll never be more than a dishrag boy-- Ow!
Huh? How did this happen?
You know, I guess hanging from a roof
for a few hours will do that to ya.
Wanna try and crush this Splish can?
Oh yeah, gimme that!
- Yeah! - Yee-haw!
I think it's time
to pay the Feed-N-Seed another visit.
- Bye, Papa. - So long!
- Oh, goodbye, kids. - Bye, Dad.
We're going to the Feed-N-Seed, see you later.
Hmm?
And the guy was all,
"Please help me, I can't swim."
So then I grabbed his hand... and I crushed it.
Nice.
Huh? Well...
If it isn't little old dishrag.
Josh-wa.
Heh. Back for more, are ya?
We're here too, by the way.
Actually, I've come to take you down.
I'll handle this, boss.
What the...
You got me.
Wha--? Get him!
Ah!
Hmm, not bad, kid.
If you want me, you got me.
But I ain't going easy on ya this time.
Your move, Josh-u-a.
That ain't my name!
You've gotten stronger, boy.
Thanks. But FYI,
I've only been using 10% of my power!
Huh?
Yeee-owch!
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
The dishrag was... me.
Yee-haw! You did it, Cricket.
Yes. You're victory is complete.
Oh, no. This is just the beginning.
I've got the strongest hand in the county now,
and everyone needs to know it!
Oh, no. He's unleashed the beast within.
Cricket's making me more nervous
than a bobcat with an overdrawn bank account.
Remy, I have been very supportive of this new persona,
but you gotta reel it in, buddy.
Hear ye, hear ye!
People of Smalton, there's a new hand honcho in town,
and he'd love to say hello.
Well, golly. I love to say hello, too.
Pleased to grip ya!
He crushed his hand like a tater chip.
That's right!
Yeah, I just got a manicure-- Ah!
Yo, yo-- Ouch!
Hey, Wayne, let's shake.
Oh, I dunno about--
There's nothing my strong hand can't crush.
And I gotta crush more!
Run! Cricket the Gripper's a-coming!
Everyone, hide your hands!
Where did everybody go?
Don't you wanna shake my hand?
I'll shake your hand...
son.
Dad? What are you doing here?
I've come to free the town from the clutches of your evil hand.
By defeating it with my righteous one.
You beat me?
That's right.
Fine. It's your hand's funeral.
A dueling handshake between father and son.
A tale as old as time.
Any last words, Dad?
Fill my hand,
you son of a Bill.
Huh. Stronger than you thought, ain't I?
Had enough?
You forgot one thing, son.
I've been working with my hands my whole life!
Ah! But... how?
I crushed Josh-wa, and you were too scared
to even shake his hand.
Oh, I was scared all right.
Scared for him!
Shake an old pal's hand, Bill.
Oh, no. I don't think that would...
...turn out well.
You were strong the whole time?
Now, for Pete's sake, boy, I suggest you yield!
I... yield.
That's what I thought.
Way to go, Bill.
Okay, that's enough.
Wow! That was as wild
as a copperhead in a corporate li--
Okay, I'm hearing it now.
Guess I am laying it on a little thick.
Glad to have you back, Remy.
Ow, ow, ow! Ooh...
- You all right, kiddo? - Yeah.
Well, since you beat me, I guess this belongs to you now.
No, that's still Josh-wa's hat, Cricket.
How many times do I have to explain
how personal property works.
- Thank you, sir. Sorry, sir. - I don't get it, Dad.
Why'd you keep your strength a secret all this time?
Why even be strong if you never show it off?
Cricket, being strong isn't about showing off.
True strength is silent and humble.
When you've got it, you don't need to impress anyone.
When someone needs help, that's when it truly shines.
Like how you stopped me from breaking
every last innocent hand in Smalton?
Yep. Well then, guess I'll see you at home, kid.
Wow, I've got the strongest dad around.
