Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder Page #5

Synopsis: Dark forces older than time itself are on the attack, hell-bent on stopping the dawn of a wondrous new green age. Don't you hate when that happens? Even more shocking: Bender's in love with a married fembot, and Leela's on the run from the law - Zapp Brannigan's law! Fry is the last hope of the universe, recruited for an ultra-top-secret mission. Could this be the end of the Planet Express crew forever? Say it ain't so, meatbag!

To hide your|big, fat butt, that's why.

Now, sir, in fairness,|Amy's butt is actually pretty hot.

What is it with you men?

Why does everything|revolve around my butt?

'Cause it's so big and massive.

- Sorry.|- That's it!

Why don't you just adopt Fry and|make him the son you never had?

That'll replace the daughter|you don't have anymore!

Whoa! What's with Big Butt?

She just hungry.

- Here you go, Fry.|- Thanks.

Oh! FYI, I dropped that Tetris piece in|the wrong place and ended the game.

No!

Great! Now Amy's gonna|tell Leela I'm a jerk.

If only I could explain|I'm on a secret mission against evil.

Wait. Evil? Yeah, yeah, evil.

What's going on in there?|A scary noise?

Hey, you're one of|Leela's feministas.

"Save the environment!|Wo-mandate Leo's retirement!"

That's terrible writing!|Stop making your point so ineffectively!

Take your mands off of me!

I'm on your side.

Don't shush me.

Please, can you take|a message to Leela?

What is it?

Just say her sweet goofbag is working to|save the violet dwarf star, just like she is.

Very well,|I'll fem-municate your man-formation.

Just tell her.

Well, this is it, old friends.|Planet Express is done for,

what with our|delivery crew missing

and the abysmal sales|of Tickle Me Bender.

Quit touching my junk, pervert!

Hold out your hands|and I'll remove your career chips.

I hate to see it come to an end.

When will it end?

Shouldn't you get that, Professor?

I suppose.

Hello?

Professor, old buddy,

I'm gonna blow up|the violet dwarf star.

So I need you deliver|billion-mile security fence

to keep out protesters.|Dirty business. Lot of money.

You corrupt enough?

Damn skippy!

Good news, crybabies!|We're back in business.

Sweet kookaburra of Edinburgh, Professor.|You sure you know how to fly this thing?

I invented it, didn't I?|You wouldn't ask Thomas Edison

whether he knew|how to use a sexmatron.

The feministas, probably.

Halt! What are you doing|in this parallelogram of space?

We're delivering a fence to|keep you ladies in your place.

- Amy?|- Labarbara?

That's right, husband.

From now on, you make|your own Manwiches.

Under the articles of the confemiracy,|we hereby wo-mandeer this ship.

Oh, no, you don't.|It's three against three.

That was the greatest play I ever saw.|It must have had 20 acts.

We installed your fence, Leo Wong.

- Yeah!|- Yeah!

Should we shout a clever slogan?

You mean something like,|"The best defense is a good fence?"

Yeah, something|like that, only funny.

I wish we could,

but our chief slogan writer is|back at the Honeybun Hideout.

Does "violet dwarf" rhyme|with "men are dorks"?

It does through a megaphone.

That reminds me, I've got to|tell Leela about that weirdo

who wants to save|the violet dwarf.

So, the Legion|of Madfellows has a new pawn, eh?

Is somebody here?

If you're the DSL guy,|you're two days late.

Who gave you that message for Leela?

I don't know his name.

Then you are of no use to the Dark Ones!

Long lost brother, avenge my death.

Where are your crappy|rhymes now, Frida Waterfall?

I'm dead. I'm dead.

Eat only natural whole-grain bread.

Six, seven, eight|Lock the gate

One, two, three|Turn the key

30, 50, 10

- My dirty, shifty friend?|- Hey, Fry, long time.

Welcome back to the|Legion of Madfellows, man.

Why'd you bonk me, you idiot?

You could have just|asked me to come with you.

And where are we? This doesn't|look like your regular dumpster.

All in good time!

I guess now is a good time.

We are on Mars,|in a forgotten cavern

abandoned by the native|Martians a million years ago.

Actually, it was five years ago.|I remember 'cause they washed my socks.

You have done well, Fry.

You have ingratiated|yourself with Leo Wong.

Yup, I kissed his ass|from cheek to shining cheek.

So, what do I do next?

As Wong security chief,

you will be on hand when|he attempts to destroy the violet dwarf.

You must not let that happen.

"Must let happen. "

Not happen!

"Must let occur. "

Let me tell you a story.|A story of two alien species

so ancient that compared to them|the human race is a mere college senior!

On a distant planetoid they evolved|to cooperate in their quest to survive.

Cooperation, because|life is a team sport.

But, over time,|one species evolved a better strategy,

and an evolutionary arms race began.

That concludes the audio-visual|portion of our head-clonk and lecture.

Wait, what happened|to the snakes and the frogs?

I need to know!

The frogs, or possibly the snakes,|evolved into vicious killing machines,

honed by the merciless forces of|natural selection and intelligent design.

We call these the Dark Ones!

These evil creatures preyed on all life,|driving species after species to extinction.

Meanwhile, however,

the second species evolved|to fend off the Dark Ones,

befriending and protecting|all other living things.

- Even Celine Dion?|- Probably.

We call these noble|beings the Encyclopods,

because their DNA incorporates

the DNA of every endangered|species they encountered,

so they can recreate|them if they go extinct.

Just as a pillow, a wig and a corncob pipe|can be used to recreate my old girlfriend!

Bingo.

Meanwhile, at the Honeybun Hideout.

There! Now you know how it feels|to be locked up in a go-go cage.

What the hell are you talking about?

Shut your man-hole.

I feel dirty.

Are you sure Fry is|working for your father?

It just doesn't seem like him to|be so evil, or to hold down a job.

It's true, Leela.|Cross My Heart bra and swear to Goddess.

But the Fry I know|wouldn't do that.

I'm gonna call his cell phone|telephone and prove you wrong.

Oh, no! Frida's been murdered!

Sweet she-cattle of Seattle.

Not your|strong suit, woman.

Who could have done this?

Your dad? Nixon?

Fry?

No, never. I don't think.

Anyhow, there's a crazed|murderer on the loose,

possibly in the shadows|or hanging from the ceiling.

So just stay calm while I call Fry.

So where are the Encyclopods|and the Dark Ones now?

When the life-giving|Chee receded,

only the toughest organisms|could adapt and survive,

like the Dark Ones.

Many more died out,|like the Encyclopods.

But, and this is the|great secret of our age,

we believe they|left an egg behind.

- Is it edible?|- We're not gonna eat it!

Not unless we find a second one.|No, Fry, we intend to hatch it!

And that's where you come in.

And here I am.

At long last the tide|of Chee has returned,

and its nourishing flow|has awakened the dormant egg.

That's good.

It's better than good. It's better.|With its massive stash of DNA,

the Encyclopod can reconstruct|every species that ever went extinct.

Imagine, all the animals that|failed evolution's test, alive again!

The dodo bird, the brittle-klutz,|the striped biologist-taunter.

- So, where is this egg?|- In the violet dwarf star system.

- And what does it look like?|- A violet dwarf star!

You mean, the whole star|is a single... Whoa! Sci-fi.

Alas! Even now, a Dark One is headed|to the star to ensure its destruction.

Matt Groening

Matthew Abraham Groening ( ( listen) GRAY-ning; born February 15, 1954) is an American cartoonist, writer, producer, animator, and voice actor. He is the creator of the comic strip Life in Hell (1977–2012) and the television series The Simpsons (1989–present), Futurama (1999–2003, 2008–2013), and the upcoming Disenchantment (2018). The Simpsons is the longest-running U.S. primetime-television series in history and the longest-running U.S. animated series and sitcom. Groening made his first professional cartoon sale of Life in Hell to the avant-garde Wet magazine in 1978. At its peak, the cartoon was carried in 250 weekly newspapers. Life in Hell caught the attention of James L. Brooks. In 1985, Brooks contacted Groening with the proposition of working in animation for the Fox variety show The Tracey Ullman Show. Originally, Brooks wanted Groening to adapt his Life in Hell characters for the show. Fearing the loss of ownership rights, Groening decided to create something new and came up with a cartoon family, the Simpson family, and named the members after his own parents and sisters—while Bart was an anagram of the word brat. The shorts would be spun off into their own series The Simpsons, which has since aired 639 episodes. In 1997, Groening and former Simpsons writer David X. Cohen developed Futurama, an animated series about life in the year 3000, which premiered in 1999, running for four years on Fox, then picked up by Comedy Central for additional seasons. Groening is currently developing a new series for Netflix titled Disenchantment, which is set to premiere in 2018. Groening has won 12 Primetime Emmy Awards, ten for The Simpsons and two for Futurama as well as a British Comedy Award for "outstanding contribution to comedy" in 2004. In 2002, he won the National Cartoonist Society Reuben Award for his work on Life in Hell. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on February 14, 2012. more…
