10. Freddy K,Copy !req
11. I'm not little, I'm big.Copy !req

to feel grown up.Copy !req
14. For the first time, I paid for
a comic book with my own money.Copy !req
15. I'm buying my very own comic.Copy !req
16. Arachnid Ned, the boy
who can get spidersCopy !req
17. to do anything he wants.Copy !req
18. I saved up for it myself.Copy !req

20. You want your change?Copy !req
21. Oh, uh...Copy !req

Do I want my change?Copy !req
23. And now I get to watch D.W.Copy !req

edition of Arachnid Ned.Copy !req
37. Dense Detective
used to be my favorite,Copy !req
38. but now I always figure out
the ending.Copy !req
39. I mean, I know
he's dense and all,Copy !req
40. but it's getting
kind of boring.Copy !req
41. Hey, guys!Copy !req
42. I want you to meet
my cousin Gerald.Copy !req
43. Uh, Gerald? Gerald?Copy !req
44. Huh? Oh. Hey.Copy !req
45. So, what are you, like,

an interesting sense of humor.Copy !req
47. They're some
of my best customers.Copy !req
48. Cool.Copy !req
49. He's a good kid.Copy !req
50. You'll get used to him.Copy !req
51. "Used to him"?Copy !req
52. What do you mean?Copy !req
53. Oh, Gerald's going
to take over.Copy !req
54. I'm retiring.Copy !req
55. What?Copy !req
56. But this is your store!Copy !req
57. I thought you loved this place.Copy !req
58. I do.Copy !req
59. But it'll be good for this placeCopy !req
60. to have some new blood,
spice things up a little.Copy !req
61. Right, Gerald?Copy !req
62. Huh?Copy !req
63. He cracks me up.Copy !req
64. I can't believe Freddy KCopy !req
65. has left Meteor Comix.Copy !req
66. I know.Copy !req
67. The place isn't going to
be the same without him.Copy !req
68. Looks the same.Copy !req
69. Cool. Gory.Copy !req
70. And ghastly.Copy !req
71. Gruesome, too.Copy !req
72. Gerald?Copy !req
73. Gerald?Copy !req
74. Huh?Copy !req
75. Oh— customer-dudes.Copy !req
76. Did you three, like,
just materializeCopy !req
77. from a dark primordial ooze?Copy !req
78. Actually, we came in
through the door.Copy !req
79. Where are the Arachnid Ned
and Bionic Bunny comics?Copy !req
80. I don't know.Copy !req
81. Somewhere back there.Copy !req
82. But have you checked out
the latest Fear of Dread?Copy !req
83. It's sick!Copy !req
84. (whispering):
Does that mean
it's good?Copy !req
85. Psychotic Maniac Flesh-Eating
Panda 3 is finally out!Copy !req
86. Whoa! Sushi-Ahmi-Uni-Ogi:
Rise of Rawness!Copy !req

a copy of Arachnid Ned.Copy !req
89. Hey, this looks
interesting.Copy !req
90. New Dense Detective?Copy !req
91. No. Something
way more challenging.Copy !req
92. Grotesquely Grim Bunny:
Guardian of Doom?Copy !req
93. It's the first issue.Copy !req
94. Whoa!Copy !req
95. It's amazing artwork.Copy !req
96. I wonder if that's supposed
to be an alien.Copy !req
97. There are aliens?Copy !req
98. Ew! Creepy!Copy !req
99. But kind of cool, too.Copy !req
100. It's creepy-cool.Copy !req
101. Check it out.Copy !req
102. Arthur!Copy !req
103. Come on in.Copy !req
104. We've been waiting for you.Copy !req
105. That's... something
else, all right.Copy !req
106. I definitely want this.Copy !req
107. Don't you?Copy !req
108. Well, sure, but...Copy !req
109. Oh, look!Copy !req
110. It's three times
more expensive.Copy !req
111. I don't have
enough money.Copy !req
112. Too bad.Copy !req
113. Instead of us each
buying one comic,Copy !req
114. we could all chip in
and get this.Copy !req
115. How about it?Copy !req
116. Well, the aliens are
very creepy-cool.Copy !req
117. What do you think?Copy !req
118. Okay.Copy !req
119. And then Grotesquely Grim Bunny
has to protectCopy !req
120. the horrible underground
City of DoomCopy !req
121. from the even more horrible
Creepy Weasel Monkey Mole,Copy !req
122. who lives in a warren
beneath a junkyardCopy !req
123. in what's known as
The Under-Underground.Copy !req
124. He's evolved from
the DNA of buried bonesCopy !req
125. and radioactive worm waste.Copy !req
126. You can hear
the monster approaching,Copy !req
127. you can feel
the monster approaching.Copy !req
128. But by then, it's too late!Copy !req
129. No...!Copy !req
130. Are you okay?Copy !req
131. You just shouted "No!"Copy !req
132. I did?Copy !req
133. Well, that's because I...Copy !req
134. I didn't want Fern
to ruin the story.Copy !req
135. I haven't read it yet.Copy !req
136. Oh, that reminds me.Copy !req
137. I finished it last night.Copy !req
138. It's all yours now.Copy !req
139. Cool! I call it next.Copy !req
140. Interesting combination
of illustration styles.Copy !req
141. And angry flying cats!Copy !req
142. Ahh!Copy !req
143. Don't want to spoil
any surprises.Copy !req
144. Remember, I get it after you.Copy !req
145. So, start reading.Copy !req
146. It's just a silly comic book.Copy !req
147. Just... words and pictures.Copy !req
148. Okay, here I go.Copy !req
149. Ahh!Copy !req
150. And he's the good guy!Copy !req
151. Cut that out, Pal.Copy !req
152. You... you want me to go
into the City of Doom?Copy !req
153. Uh, thanks, but
I think I'll pass.Copy !req
154. Whoa!Copy !req
155. Hey, Arthur.Copy !req
156. Welcome to Doom-wood
Elementary.Copy !req
157. Doomsicle?Copy !req
158. Hey!
Do you feel what I feel?Copy !req
159. The Creepy Weasel Monkey Mole!Copy !req
160. Aren't you guys scared?Copy !req
161. No.
Nuh-uh!Copy !req
162. Whoopee!Copy !req
163. Oh, hey, Arthur.Copy !req
164. Want to say hi to the
creepy-cool mutant alien?Copy !req
165. Temper, Millicent.Copy !req
166. Arthur Read...Copy !req
167. Grotesquely Grim Bunny,
Guardian of Doom.Copy !req
168. Grotesquely Grim,
yadda-yadda-yadda...Copy !req
169. Arthur Read.Copy !req
170. (in Gerald's voice):
Hey.Copy !req
171. What up, Dude?Copy !req
172. Dude, don't leave me hanging.Copy !req
173. I think he's
a little afraid.Copy !req
174. Of course I'm afraid!Copy !req
175. I've just been chased
by a Creepy Weasel Monkey Mole.Copy !req
176. What do you expect?Copy !req
177. Yeah.Copy !req
178. Like, that's not
such a good idea.Copy !req
179. 'Cause the Monkey Mole?Copy !req
180. Well, it kind of feeds on fear.Copy !req
181. Makes it stronger.Copy !req
182. No one else
is afraid.Copy !req
183. Why are you?Copy !req
184. I don't know.Copy !req
185. I just am!Copy !req
186. I want to wake up!Copy !req
187. I didn't want it to get damaged,
so I put it in a protective box.Copy !req
188. I mean, it is the first issue.Copy !req
189. I think you need a better
"protective box."Copy !req
190. I don't know what happened.Copy !req
191. I swear!Copy !req
192. It smells like Pal.Copy !req
193. Sorry, Binky, but I think
my dog ate the comic.Copy !req
194. Well, you'd better
tell me what happens.Copy !req
195. I've been waiting
since yesterdayCopy !req
196. and I'm not going
to wait anymore.Copy !req
197. Um... there's this bunny.Copy !req
198. And he's grim.Copy !req
199. Really grim.Copy !req
200. Grotesquely grim, even.Copy !req
201. Oh! And there's
a Creepy Mole Monkey.Copy !req
202. No, no, wait,
I mean Monkey Mole, and, uh...Copy !req
203. And then he...Copy !req
204. Okay, okay,
I didn't read it.Copy !req
205. It was too scary.Copy !req
206. Actually, I didn't
read it either.Copy !req
207. I got scared by the first page.Copy !req
208. It's definitely more
creepy than cool.Copy !req
209. Really?Copy !req
210. Gosh. I liked it.Copy !req
211. Oh, well.Copy !req
212. I guess it's not for everyone.Copy !req
213. Want me to tell you the story?Copy !req
214. Um, that's okay.Copy !req
215. I'll just wait
for the movie to come out.Copy !req
216. I really could useCopy !req
217. a good old-fashioned
Bionic Bunny comic right now,Copy !req
218. but I'm not going
near Meteor Comix.Copy !req
219. I wish Freddy K
still ran it, too.Copy !req
220. I went in there yesterday;
it's a mess.Copy !req
221. We've always been
great customers there.Copy !req
222. We should let Freddy
know how we feel.Copy !req
223. You mean, like,
write him a letter?Copy !req
224. What about something
a bit more colorful?Copy !req
225. Hey, hey, ho, ho!Copy !req
226. Gerald's nice,
but he's got to go!Copy !req
227. Ho, ho, hey, hey!Copy !req
228. We want Freddy K today!Copy !req
229. Hey, hey, ho, ho!Copy !req
230. Gerald's nice,
but he's got to go!Copy !req
231. I think you're looking for the
section marked "Creepy Stuff."Copy !req
232. Hey, it's the new
Arachnid Ned!Copy !req
233. And finally, my Bionic Bunny
Meets Interplanetary Platypus.Copy !req
234. Hey, guys!Copy !req
235. Grotesquely Grim Bunny,
Guardian of Doom, Number 2.Copy !req
236. And I'll just put it awayCopy !req
237. and wait till I get
home to read it.Copy !req
238. Oh, hey, it's just me—Copy !req
239. Arthur Timothy Read,
Guardian of Meteor Comix.Copy !req
240. Hope I didn't scare you.Copy !req
241. And now...Copy !req
242. This is second grade.Copy !req
243. And today we're talking to you
about our fears.Copy !req
244. We made self-portraits.Copy !req
245. Our self-portraits
are like a mask.Copy !req
246. And then we lift it up
like that.Copy !req
247. But you lift it...Copy !req
248. Whoa.Copy !req
249. You have the fear part.Copy !req
250. And we just drew our fear.Copy !req
251. So we put the fear
behind our face.Copy !req
252. My name is Terrell, and I'm
afraid to fly on an airplane.Copy !req
253. Fear means something that you
really don't likeCopy !req
254. and you're scared of.Copy !req
255. I think it's kind of natural
to be scared of things.Copy !req
256. My name is Tori, and I'm afraid
of cockroaches.Copy !req
257. A cockroach is
a really gross bug.Copy !req
258. I don't really like gross things
that much.Copy !req
259. My name is Haroun,
and I'm afraid of thunder.Copy !req
260. Boom!
Ahh!Copy !req
261. My name is Jessica,Copy !req
262. and I'm afraid of
swimming in deep waters.Copy !req
263. Because when I swim across,Copy !req
264. I usually put my feet down
to rest for a minute,Copy !req
265. and I can't do that when
I'm in deep waters.Copy !req
266. My name's Liliana,
and I'm scared of rats.Copy !req
267. My name is Fizza,
and I'm scared of rats.Copy !req
268. My name is Jada,
and I'm afraid of rats.Copy !req
269. A rat is a rodent that lives
underground,Copy !req
270. and they live in the sewer.Copy !req
271. I want to get over
my fear of rats,Copy !req
272. and I need to start learning
about them more.Copy !req
273. If someone is afraid of rats,Copy !req
274. I think they should read
this book called Oh, Rats!Copy !req
275. I think it might make them feel
better about rats.Copy !req
276. What are you afraid of?Copy !req
277. The boogie monster.Copy !req
278. Well, is the boogie
monster real,Copy !req
279. or is it in your imagination?Copy !req
280. It's in my imagination.Copy !req
281. You could just look
at the boogie monsterCopy !req
282. as something else,
like a regular old person.Copy !req
283. I think that when we
talk about our fears,Copy !req
284. it helps us get over it.Copy !req
285. And now...Copy !req
286. Hello.Copy !req
287. I'm Arthur Read and
I've made lots of movies.Copy !req
288. Well, okay, I've only made
three movies.Copy !req
289. But I started
when I was very young.Copy !req
290. MR.
What a cute baby you are,
Arthur.Copy !req
291. Uh-oh.Copy !req
292. Give Dada back the camera,

293. Ah!Copy !req
294. But my second film
really rocked.Copy !req
295. Literally.Copy !req
296. It's called Rock.Copy !req
297. Very... artsy.Copy !req
298. (whispering):
I accidentally
left the camera on.Copy !req
299. For my third film, I decided
to try science fiction.Copy !req
300. But my alien monster
wasn't very scary.Copy !req
301. I bet you're dying to know what
my next film will be about.Copy !req
302. Stay tuned to
The Arthur Movie Channel.Copy !req
303. I'm Capri DeVapidaCopy !req

your minimalist portrayalCopy !req
320. of the slum dog.Copy !req
321. Any thoughts?Copy !req
322. So true, Pal,
so true.Copy !req
323. And Arthur, how do you account
for your sudden rise to fame?Copy !req
324. It all started when we had our
film shown on The Perfect Pet.Copy !req
325. Thanks, Capri and Pixel.Copy !req
326. I just love Arthur's films.Copy !req
327. They're so expired.Copy !req
328. Oh, I meant inspired.Copy !req
329. Ar-thur! Ar-thur! Ar-thur!Copy !req
330. If we're gonna win,
I'm gonna need some help.Copy !req
331. So, what's the movie about?Copy !req
332. Is it aliens?Copy !req
333. Sorry, it's about Pal.
Oh.Copy !req
334. We could make Pal an alien!Copy !req
335. All we need is a foil hat...Copy !req
336. We did that already.Copy !req
337. I want it to be about
the real Pal.Copy !req
338. It's going to be called
Dog's Day and Afternoon.Copy !req
339. It'll be really exciting.Copy !req
340. I promise.Copy !req
341. I've only been
here ten minutesCopy !req
342. and you've already
broken your promise.Copy !req
343. Come on, buddy,

344. It's time for
your close-up.Copy !req
345. Good boy.Copy !req
346. We'll get some
great footage now.Copy !req
347. Even Rock was
better than this.Copy !req
348. Let's take him to the park.
(barking)Copy !req
349. That'll get him excited.Copy !req
350. All right, Pal, ready?Copy !req
351. Fetch!Copy !req
352. And... action!Copy !req
353. Cut!Copy !req
354. And... action!Copy !req

366. What movie?Copy !req
367. The one Arthur's making

369. You probably still thinkCopy !req
370. the vacuum cleaner's
a scary monster.Copy !req
371. I do not!Copy !req
372. It's a scary robot.Copy !req
373. Whoa!Copy !req
374. When did Nemo learn
how to ride a skateboard?Copy !req
375. And he's got tons
of other tricks.Copy !req
376. We've got you licked.Copy !req
377. Yeah, well, Pal can do lots
of amazing things, too.Copy !req
378. I just don't know
what they are yet.Copy !req
379. Pal, no!Copy !req
380. I guess I was wrong.Copy !req
381. He really can't do
anything amazing.Copy !req
382. It's okay, Pal.Copy !req
383. It's not your fault if
all you can do is look cute.Copy !req
384. Hey, wait, that's the second
category of the contest—Copy !req
385. cuteness.Copy !req
386. Start filming him, quick.Copy !req
387. Wow! He's a natural!Copy !req

390. Let me see that pout.Copy !req
391. Aw.Copy !req
392. No "aw"-ing.Copy !req
393. He's the enemy.Copy !req
394. Aw, the really
cute enemy.Copy !req
395. I can't believe they're falling
for this blatant pandering.Copy !req
396. I can't help it
if I'm adorable.Copy !req
397. You're not adorable,
you're...Copy !req
398. Aw...Copy !req
399. Must... be... strong.Copy !req
400. Anyway, viewers don't care
about such frippery.Copy !req
401. They want...Copy !req
402. Come on, Nemo,
time to cuten you up.Copy !req
403. Ah!Copy !req
404. (baby voice):
Hello! Hello!Copy !req
405. Aw, the little
bonnet kitty is waving.Copy !req
406. Hi, bonnet kitty.Copy !req
407. Buster!Copy !req
408. Sorry.Copy !req
409. Lies! All lies!Copy !req
410. Now, now, there's no shame
in wearing a nice bonnet.Copy !req
411. Mrs. Nemo!Copy !req
412. But they dressed me up
while I was sleeping.Copy !req
413. Oh, the shame.Copy !req
414. The shame!
(laughing hysterically)Copy !req
415. Now Nemo does the best tricks
and is the cutest.Copy !req
416. You don't stand
a chance.Copy !req
417. She's right.Copy !req
418. Not necessarily.Copy !req
419. I have this really cool
video editing program.Copy !req
420. What if we added
a few special effects?Copy !req
421. Come on, I'll show you.Copy !req
422. Whoa!Copy !req
423. Whoa! Now that's a trick!Copy !req
424. But do you think
it's cheating?Copy !req
425. Why? The footage
is all real.Copy !req
426. I just jazzed it up
a little.Copy !req
427. I don't know...Copy !req
428. If you want, I'll take out
the jetpack I put in.Copy !req
429. Well?Copy !req
430. This had better be good.Copy !req
431. You used the special
pet emergency call.Copy !req
432. It's this blasted movie!Copy !req
433. Arthur and Buster made me lookCopy !req
434. like I did something
I didn't do.Copy !req
435. Wear a bonnet?Copy !req
436. No, they made me look like I was
jumping through a flaming hoop.Copy !req
437. Oh, lucky you.Copy !req
438. But it's cheating.Copy !req
439. And besides, does Arthur
really thinkCopy !req
440. that I'm not exciting
enough just as I am?Copy !req
441. Well, you can't blame him
for that.Copy !req
442. You are very dull.Copy !req
443. Anyway, what about me?Copy !req
444. Francine thinks I'm... not cute.Copy !req
445. Well, don't listen to her.Copy !req
