Good. You're here. We have an exciting announcement.

We finished our graphic novel!

The Odd Adventures of Baxter and Brooke.

Wow! This is amazing!

Shorter than I thought it would be.

But amazing!

A one -page book.

It's my kind of reading.

Finished.

No. This is just the cover page. The rest is still printing.

We're using Wilson's new all -in -one printer.

And when they say all -in -one, they mean all -in -one. It's a copier,

Bluetooth speaker, refrigerator.

Look, it even makes coffee.

Cappuccino. Wow.

My printer at home can't even print in color.

You two should be so proud of yourselves.

The graphic novel is going from Milo's computer to Wilson's printer and then to

the entire...

What's with the janky extension cord?

We have to plug the computer in all the way over there because Wilson's printer

is hogging up all the outlets.

It's crazy how much power it eats up. It makes sense.

Did you know this bad boy has a shiatsu massage feature?

What?

So, how are you going to celebrate now that you've finished the graphic novel?

For starters, we're going to print out a ton of copies and hand them out

tomorrow for the last day of comic book week. We should go big and throw a

launch party, too.

Hurley and I can plan it. Hey, do any of you warped employees actually work

here?

Another comic book week crowd just poured in. This place is crawling with

One second.

We're almost done printing.

Hurry! The Batman versus Superman debate is getting scary.

Wow! Our first finished copy!

It almost doesn't feel real.

I know.

I've been dreaming about this for years.

I've also had a dream for years. It's about a giant hamburger with a top hat

eats me and my family.

Okay. Well, then I guess we're lucky only my dream came true.

You're telling me.

Professor Beef Monster is no joke.

That's the burger's name.

Professor Beef Monster.

Oh, wow.

Ren wasn't kidding.

You start with the customers back there, and I'll be in the register.

Great. Make sure you put the graphic novel somewhere safe.

Welcome to Warped. How can I help you?

Oh, good question.

In issue 17 of Kron, Marco, Starblast, or Debutant, Kron escapes the prison of

Bartu by piercing the flaming hairgraven with a spear, dipped in the venomous

blood of an ancient two -headed gorgonaut.

That's right. And what was your question?

That was pretty sweet, right?

Yep. Pretty sweet.

Hey, if you don't have any plans tomorrow, we're throwing a launch party

new graphic novel here at the store.

My alien abduction support group is tomorrow, but I'll definitely come by

if I don't get abducted again.

Hi. I collect these mystery box toys, and I have all but one. The Skeleton

Pirate. Can I just peek in these boxes before I buy them to make sure I don't

get any more duplicates?

I'm sorry, but that's against store policy.

Plus, if you peek, that will spoil the mystery and...

Well, that's no fun.

I don't like mysteries.

Or fun.

Or you right now.

Fine.

Ugh. Another Pegasus. I have six of this exact same one at home.

Well, now you have lucky number seven.

Uh, eight's a pretty lucky number, too. Doesn't get much luckier than eight.

This is outrageous.

I would like to return these.

I'm so sorry, sir, but we only accept returns on unopened merchandise.

But, uh, enjoy your day.

If joy is something you're into.

Well, see you at the party tomorrow?

Hey, no.

Okay, we have orders placed for the decorations, the DJ, just a couple more

calls, and we'll be set for the most epic launch party ever.

Great, because we want people buzzing about Milo and Ruby's graphic novel.

and then buzzing about the party itself, like, what geniuses planned this? We

should hire them for our next party, especially that guy who made the food.

you see how handsome he was? That hair!

How does he get it to float in the wind?

Oh. Oh.

Don't mind me.

I'm just using this thing to change my tooth fairy money into dollar bills.

That machine really does it all, huh?

That's four years of baby teeth right there.

Okay, for dessert, I'm thinking donuts.

I can even shape them into, like, asteroids to tie in with the space

and then maybe I can get them to explode in your mouth. You know, the way, uh,

soda explodes when you put a breath mint into it, because then that way... Oh,

like you're on fire! I know, right? I figure we can use that same technology

maybe help raise... Your pant leg, it's smoking!

Fire, fire, fire!

Oh, that janky extension cord is flying my little computer!

was close.

Yeah, way to go, Hurley. That could have been a lot worse.

Okay, so it got a little wet.

Okay, a lot of wet.

I mean, shame's wasted.

Here is your limited edition Sergeant Goldsmasher comic.

the figurines.

Thank you for shopping at Warped.

And don't forget to stop by for our launch party tomorrow.

That was the busiest we've ever been.

My face hurts from smiling.

Then you're in luck because we've got some news that'll make you frown.

was on here.

Everything we've been working on for months.

You didn't back it up anywhere? We didn't? How do you know?

I don't. I was just asking.

Okay. Did we back it up?

We did not.

It was all on here, and now everything's gone.

Okay. Don't panic.

We can just use the copy we already printed.

I mean, we can just make a bunch of copies of that, right? Right. Yeah,

put it in a bag right under...

All of them?

since I lost my second grade science project.

I heard rice was supposed to help with waterlogged electronics.

So, I got a bunch from the Chinese place.

Could be the rice that's supposed to be uncooked to soak up the liquid.

This is crab fried rice.

Well, in that case, who's hungry?

We have to find the graphic novel.

I'm going to go look around the mall for any customers who may have accidentally

gotten it in their bag.

I'll come with you. I'm great at finding things inside of other things.

Catch up with you in a sec, buddy.

We have to fix this.

We cannot have another white Christmas on our hands. What do you mean?

In the second grade, right before Christmas break, Milo lost a science

project. And he was so stressed, his hair turned completely white.

It's true.

Everyone called him Young Santa.

It was ho -ho horrible.

No graphic novel.

Just some Spongebob boxers.

Any luck over there, Hurley?

Nope. Just eggs, toothpaste, and toilet paper.

Actually, you know what? This isn't even a work bag. It's this guy's groceries.

Hey, hey, look. There's a work bag.

Can I look inside your bag? My graphic novel.

Well...

Look who it is.

What was that? You want to look inside something to see if something you need

in there?

Sounds familiar.

Please, just let me look inside the bag. It's really important.

Sorry, but that's against my personal policy.

Besides, if you peek, it'll spoil the mystery.

And that's no fun.

Just give me the bag!

No! Give it to me! Give me the bag!

Thank you for shopping at work.

Any luck with the computer?

The petting zoo people just called, and if this launch party isn't happening,

I'd love to get my deposit back on the llama.

Wait, why are we having a llama at the party?

Do you not want a llama at your party?

Fair point.

But, no, the rice was a bust, and now I think there's a piece of imitation crab

stuck in the USB port.

Hey, is there a sequel to this?

I don't know, Ren. We're sort of busy. But I need to know what happens next.

Well, I don't know what to tell you. And I love the title.

The Odd Ventures of Baxter and Brooke?

I just need more.

Not now, Ren. Wait.

Wait. What?

Our graphic novel!

Where did you get this?

I found it under the counter earlier while I was snooping around.

and tell him that we're good to go for the party.

Well, first text my own Hurley and tell him we found our graphic novel.

I'm going to go make a bunch of copies so we don't run into this mess again.

Will do.

After I call the love.

A graphic novel? Why would I be asking about any other graphic novel?

Um, I don't know. There are just so many great ones to choose from.

Darby texted us that you found it.

Well, I guess I did.

I mean, of course I did. I texted back with my thumb.

What Darby meant to text is that we found the person who accidentally got

comic in their bag.

Great! But unfortunately, they threw it away by mistake.

Not great.

But...

to search every trash can in the mall.

It's got to be in one of them.

Come on, Ruby. We're going dumpster diving. Wait, what?

Yeah, our graphic novel's buried in there somewhere.

It's up to us to find it.

Right.

And since I can't think of a single good reason why we shouldn't do that, I

guess we're doing that.

Aw, I love dumpster diving.

How come Ruby gets to do all the fun stuff?

Let's get looking.

The graphic novel has to be in there somewhere.

Yep. This is the one and only place it could be.

This is disgusting.

Diapers. Dirty socks.

Who was throwing away this much cheese?

My friend Margo from back home once ate so much cheddar, she could cry melted

cheese. If you showed her a sad movie, she could cover an entire tray of

I'll take your word for it.

No sign of her graphic novel, though.

I think we may have to go deeper.

Yes, deeper, where the older, smellier garbage is.

Fish got duty again.

to be able to get this done in time for the party tomorrow.

And my brilliant exploding donuts will never get the respect they deserve.

We can still pull something together.

I mean, look at this page I just finished.

It doesn't look anything remotely close to the original, but it's technically a

page of a graphic novel.

Wait, I wonder if this thing has an unshred feature.

You can't unshred something that's...

Find anything over there?

Not yet.

Me neither.

Ew.

Just more cheese, if you can believe that.

What if our graphic novel's not in here?

I don't know what it'll do if it's just gone forever.

Hey, don't be so down in the dumps.

Ruby, we're literally in a dumpster.

Good. Good. I'm just making us a little snack.

You need some energy if you want to finish this thing.

Did you know this thing has a toaster?

Are you two okay?

Yes. But if an aviary bird comes looking for us, tell them you haven't seen us.

Got it?

Bigger issue is that we didn't find the graphic novel.

All of our hard work just gone. It's so upsetting.

Okay. I have some good news and I have some bad news.

The good news is...

It's actually right here in this room.

But, um, I think the bad news speaks for itself.

Facts are graphic novel?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

It's happening.

My hair's turning white, isn't it?

No, just the back.

Wait, never mind. I think it's mayonnaise.

Bird poop.

Ugh, gross.

Mayonnaise. I hate mayonnaise.

Hard work is just gone.

I think maybe we should leave.

There's literal smoke coming out of his ears.

Oh, that's actually my toast burner. Yes, let's give them a minute.

I'm sorry, Milo.

I found the graphic novel earlier and I accidentally shredded it.

I know how important it is to you, so I understand if you never want to speak to

me again.

What? No, don't say that. You're one of my best friends.

Obviously, I'm heartbroken, but I would have never even finished a graphic novel

if I hadn't met you.

And I know we can recreate that magic.

Yeah, if we did it once, we can do it again.

And hey, maybe we'll have it done for next year's comic book week.

Hey, check out this laptop I found in the thing of fried rice.

It was broken, but I got those Superman and Batman nerds to work together and

fix it.

Wait, so it's working?

Yep, and now those nerds are friends.

I brought pizza to the comic book world and scored a free laptop.

Ren, that's my laptop. Give it to me.

It works.

I can't believe it. It works. This is incredible.

Way to go, Ren.

Yeah, yeah. You owe me a laptop.

Also, you two ever heard of a shower?

You smell like cheese and fish guts.

I'm speechless.

My computer works like it's new and the graphic novel is still on. You're fully

intact. We don't have to start.

And we still have time to make a bunch of copies for the launch party tomorrow.

Shall we get started? I think I'm finally getting the hang of this thing.

Self -destruct mode activated.

This machine will explode in ten, nine, eight.

Self -destruct mode deactivated.

Yeah. Maybe we just take it to a professional print shop this time.

I think maybe you're right.

Why does this thing even have a self -destruct mode?

Welcome to Wormt. Enjoy your complimentary issue of The Odd Ventures

and Brooke.

This is so cool.

People are actually reading a graphic novel that we made.

And the response has been great.

Has there been any buzz about the party itself?

I mean, more specifically about the party planners and even more

about me personally.

Everyone's having a great time, really.

Though I'm not sure why there's a llama at our party.

Do you not want a llama at your party?

Fair point.

So, now that you've finished your first graphic novel, what's next?

Oh, but it's just the beginning. We're thinking big. We do a sequel, a prequel,

a movie. Maybe a Broadway musical or a theme park ride. The establishment of

MRCU.

You know, the Milo Ruby cinematic universe.

I meant, like, what's next later tonight. I thought maybe we could grab

something. Well, if you're hungry...

Why not try one of my asteroid donuts?

I made the jelly using soda breath mint technology.

So prepare yourselves for a literal flavor explosion.

These are supposed to explode in your mouth, not in your...

in fish guts, this isn't so bad.

Congrats, Ruby.

A toast to us.
