Panel 1
caption: Soon...
*Everyone is back at the camp... Nardo is tied up, and struggling to scratch himself!*
Itch Witch: I think Nardo's got what he deserved! I hit him with a full dose of my itching spells this time!
Panel Two:
Weight Wizard: And look who I've caught! This weasel False-Pretenses Lad, who betrayed us twice!
FLP: No... you've got it all wrong! I'm on your side!
Panel Three
Key Kid: Give it up, you fink! We won't fall for your lies, this time!
A voice from off-panel: But he's not lying!
Panel Four
Multi-Maid: Blockade Boy! But, *choke*, I thought you were dead!
Blockade Boy: I'm not... thanks to False-Pretenses Lad's quick thinking! Knowing that Nardo would take us to the lily-pond to execute us, he secretly enlisted the aid of Plant Lad to pose as one of the evil lillies!
Panel Five
FPL: Fortunately, I'd secretly reprogrammed a couple of the Nardroids to help me carry him out to the swamp!
Key Kid: But why? We thought you were on Nardo's side! That's why you shot Nell, right?
Panel Six:
FPL: I shot Nell because the Nardroids were approaching and I knew I could help you better if Nardo thought I was on his side! And I betrayed your first escape plan because I knew it wouldn't work, thanks to the fact that Nardo had his spaceship encoded to only operate by the command of his own voice!
Panel 7
Key Kid: But why all the secrecy and deceit?
FLP: Hey, I'm False-Pretenses Lad! That's kind of my shtick!

Panel 1
Tenzil: I'm sure we'll figure out some way of fixing Lester up so he's a good as he ever was! I know one of the best doctors in the galaxy, this three-armed chap by the name of Gym'll!
Panel 2
Tiffany (sobbing): Oh, do you really think he could do something for my poor, poor brother?
Tenzil: If anyone can, I'm sure it's him!
Panel 3
Key Kid: Hey look what Opposable Big Toes Boy found! It seems Nardo had this room where he kept all this footage which he thought represented the ideals of our popular culture!
Panel 4
*Inside the room*
Tenzil: Jeebus! He doesn't have a single holo of Kem Family & Friends! Come to think of it... most of this stuff's a thousand years old!
Panel 5
Weight Wizard: Hmm... you don't think all those weird things he kept saying were simply his attempts to communicate with us in a hipper and more effective way?
Tenzil: It could be...
Panel 6
Tenzil: One thing's for certain... I'm heading home to Bismoll and not leaving the planet for a long, long time. I've had enough of these weird freaks from outer space for the time being!
NEXT ISSUE BLURB
Oh, but Tenzil... if you only knew what the next issue of Matter-Eater Lad had in store for you! Stay-tuned, as Tenz and Friends embark on "The Super-Road Trip of Space!"

PAGE ONE
Panel 1
*Shot of the gang's slick new spaceship flying through space*
Panel 2
*Tenzil is at the controls, and Taryn by his side
Tenz: Whoa! This new cruiser the Thrannians gave us handles like a charm!
Taryn: You certainly seem to be enjoying it...
Panel 3
Tenz: Oh, you'll get your chance to fly it, Taryn! But right now, I think we should we should put it on autopilot while we do a quick recap of our latest adventure!
Panel 4
Taryn: Why?
Tenzil: Oh, just to make sure everyone's up to speed! We wouldn't want anyone getting lost in the complex storyline or anything!
Panel 5
Taryn: You scare me sometimes, Kem.
Tenzil: Just play along, babe!
Panel 6
Tenzil: It all began when Tiffany Spiffany showed up looking for her missing brother Lester...

Panel 1
Tenzil: Yeah... so now, we're heading to Legion World to visit my old buddy Dr. Gym'll to see if he can cure Lester and Plant Lad, who is super-fatassed as well except that you can't tell because he's conveniently changed himself into a potted plant to make himself more portable!
Panel 2
*Big Toes is hanging from something attached to the ceiling*
Tiffany: Okay, I know all that. But what I don't understand is why exactly we brought Opposable Big Toes Boy with us.
Tenzil: Oh, Tiff, don't worry about it. Besides, you never know when a guy with four hands'll come in... er... handy!
Panel 3
*Big Toes starts juggling banyo fruit using all four limbs*
Tenz: Ah, look at him! Isn't he cute!
Tiffany: Taryn, could I have a word with you in private?
Taryn: Uh... yeah, I guess.
Panel 4
Caption: Soon, in private...
Tiffany: You know... I really just wanted to tell you how lucky you are. Your boyfriend is such a great guy!
Taryn: Boyfriend? You mean... Tenzil? Hey, we go way back, but he's not exactly my boyfriend...
Panel 5
Tiffany (excitedly): Really? Because you know... he's quite attractive! And his political career might just make him respectable enough to be marriage material...
Taryn: Uh... wait a minute...
Panel 6
Tiffany: Of course, there's the fact that his family's kind of creepy, but I think I could overlook that...
Panel 7
*Tiffany leaving the room*
Tiffany: Thanks, Taryn! I'm so glad we had this conversation!
Taryn (faintly): Yeah...

Panel 1
Lester: You idiot! You did this to me! It was your stupid super-charged Kryptonian body that Nardo used to fatass me!
Dev-Em: Look, Lester, I'm sorry, but...
Panel 2
Lester: But what? You cause me to balloon up like a... a... balloon, and then you have the nerve to tell me I look fat!
Dev-Em: Uh... it's not just that you look fat...
Panel 3
Lester: Living Crystals of Rojun! And to think, I thought you really cared about me...
Dev-Em: Lester, you don't understand...
Panel 4
Plant Lad: Guys, you are aware that I'm here right?
Dev-Em: Look... let's just see what this Dr. Gym'll can do for you...
Lester: Bah! And what if he can't help me? You'll... you'll never look at me again!
Panel 5
Dev-Em: Lester, please calm down.
Panel 6
*Tenzil pops his head in*
Tenzil: Something wrong in here? I thought I heard shouting...
Lester: No, Tenzil. Just the pitiful cries for attention of a man whose life is ruined...
Panel 7
Tenzil: Well, if everything's okay, then, I'm going to go have a glass of... well, actually, I think I'll just have the glass!

Panel 7
*panel shows Tenzil lying down, worried look on face*

Panel 1
Tiffany: Do you always have to expect the worst from people?
Lester: It usually saves me the trouble of being disappointed.
Panel 2
Tiffany: Lester, I have something I need to tell you...
Lester: Oh, I suppose you're going to tell me that you and Dev-Em have started seeing each other! It figures! It's just like it was with Pytur, isn't it?
Panel 3
Tiffany: *sigh*! How many times to we have to go through this? Pytur was not interested in you. And he and I just went to a play together. As friends.
Lester (mumbling): stupid... both of you stupid...
Panel 4
Tiffany: Look, Lester, will you please listen to me? This is important! It's about Daddy's will...
Panel 5
Lester: So that's it! You've finally convinced Daddy to write me out of the will and leave everything to you! I knew it! It was only a matter of time before you'd cut me out!
Panel 6
Tiffany: Lester, shut up! I'm trying to tell you that I got a look at the will. Apparently... Daddy has another child...

Panel 1
Dev-Em: ...so you understand, don't you? I mean... Lester was fun for awhile, but he's so possessive. And now he's so fat...
Plant Lad: Look man, I remember back after I first gained the powers that turned me into Plant Lad...
Panel 2
caption *with Plant Lad as plotted plant picture*: ...at first I tried to go back to my career as pop star on Simballi...
*shows Plant Lad in the studio with space-guitar strapped on*
Panel 3
caption: ...and fortunately I found that my musical ability wasn't affected at all by my condition...
*Shows Noyd and the Navigators listening to the new single they just recorded*
Band Member: Noyd, this is the grooviest song you've ever written! I'm sure it'll be a huge hit!
Panel 4
caption: ...but soon I discovered that many of my old "fans" were turned off by my new appearance...
*Noyd and the Navigators playing on stage, but the fans just aren't into it...
Teen-aged fan #1: Oooh... Noyd used to be so cute! But now he's just all green and icky!
Teen-aged fan #2: And to think... I used to want to marry him when I grew up!
Teen-aged fan #3: I just bought Lakt Tephron's new space-album! He's so dreamy!
Panel 5
caption: ...and so that's when I decided to hang up my space-guitar...
*shows Noyd walking away from the Navigators*
Panel 6
*back to Dev and PL talking*
Plant Lad: What I discovered was that my so-called fans weren't really interested in the music I was making, but in my image.
Dev: So, what are you saying?
Panel 7
Plant Lad: If you don't really dig Lester for himself, but only for his body, then it's better that he find out sooner rather than later. It may hurt, but it's better than keeping him deluded.
Dev: Hmm... maybe you're right...
