Kooky Page #3

I'll drive and you'll navigate.

You tell me where to turn

so we dont crash.

You're very kind.

I'd never make it home on foot.

You'll be my co-pilot.

We just need to stop in Stinkville,

then I'll help you on your way.

Keep your eyes peeled.

There!

The other side!

- That way!

- Don't shout.

Why?

No shouting in the forest.

Speak softly.

- Look out...

- Where?

So sorry, we didn't mean it.

Everyone all right?

- You're meant to direct me!

- I said to look out.

Did you mean left or right?

You don't know

left from right, do you?

Well, well, some co-pilot!

We're quite a pair. One can't tell left

from right and the other is blind.

- You think I can't see?

- No, I don't think so.

- Huh! See that squirrel over there?

- Where?

There.

Hop, hop, hop... And it's gone.

Did you see it?

No.

No...So who's the one can't see now? Wise guy.

Get out and roll in the mud a bit.

I'm not taking you any further with

that color of yours.

But l...can't go home all dirty.

Then just cover your head up.

Can you teach me left and right?

Ow, ow! That hurts! Be careful!

Now you'll remember

it's me you need to be afraid of.

- Get in!

- We already are.

So let's go!

-There!

-You mean "to the right"?

To the right.

- Now the other side, then...left.

- Well done!

There's a map in the glove box.

You mean this?

That's it, a bee map, very detailed.

Can you see us?

No.

Look carefully.

There's an art to reading such a map.

I think I see us! Now I don't anymore.

We'd better stop and you can look.

It's too complicated for me.

And for me it's too... um... detailed.

Don't worry, I know the general direction.

If we see someone

we'll stop and ask. It'll be all right.

- Hey, there's someone. Stop!

- Who is it? -

Hard to say.

Excuse me.

Excuse-moi. Croak-croak.

Seethrough wings, body like a stick...

- A dragonfly.

Drrr-drr. It is a dragonfly.

Drrr-drr vrrn-vrr Stinkville?

- Vrrn-drrn sorry.

- What did he say?

You didn't tell me there were two of them.

It was hard to tell.

They were all twisted together.

Remember, when two animals are like that,

we don't talk to them.

To the right...

They were doing sex, weren't they?

We don't talk about that ether.

If we don't talk about it...

then how will I know what

I'm seeing when I see it?

- I think I see a dam.

- Then we're going the right way.

Fresh water is what I sell,

drink it and you'll feel well!

Is this the way to Stinkville?

Fresh water...that is what I sell...

Goodbye then!

Water ahead, look out!

It's okay, the car's waterproof.

But not me. I can't get wet.

See, that was easy. Where to now?

- Can you give me a Little push?

- I can't get wet.

Oh, you already got out back there.

I'll go ask the water man, maybe he can help push.

Fresh water is what I sell...

Hey, did the Captain pass by

with a red teddy?

Drink it and you'll feel well!

- To hell with you!

- Fresh water is what I sell...

it's Nushka and those Bag men!

I see something red!

- Someone's hiding there.

- Hi Captain!

Everyone thinks you're in Stinkville

and here you are washing your car.

- it looks like a raspberry.

- Or an unripe blackberry.

- Let's check its leaves.

- Stop wasting time and let's go!

It doesn't seem to have leaves.

That's strange... Ah, wait, yes it does!

I think it's a raspberry.

Do raspberry leaves shake?

- No, they don't. Is there a plant that shakes?

- Who knows?.

- Blast it, we're in a hurry!

- In the wind they all do.

So it's the wind. Let's go!

Out of the way,

animal in distress!

See you!

I should be off too.

The sun is over there...

And so Kooky headed home,

but something must've eaten him

or he'd be here by now.

Practicing or just playing around?

Now, if he had a computer inside him,

he could put himself together again

when the animal pooped him out.

Don't speed it up!

But he hasn't got one

so he'll stay all chewed up.

Remember the pause there.

Hey, hang on a second, there!

Has anyone ever needed you

...when it really mattered?

Ondra needs me. But dry.

I can't move when I'm wet.

I'm full of stuffing

and it takes days to dry.

He needs you to sleep, but he can

fall asleep without you, right?

- But he doesn't want to.

- He doesnt want to, but he can.

- But l can't go on without you.

- Can't those Little gods help you?

Ever seen gods helping anyone?

They only look after themselves.

What about him? He doesnt

mind water, let him help you.

- He can't or won't...Just like you.

- Don't think I'm not grateful.

- I'd help you but i can't get wet.

- It's the same thing.

- It isn't.

- It is.

Hey, a bird! And another...There's a nest.

- Where?

- On that trailer over there.

- A nest on a trailer?

What will they think of next?

Excuse me... Tweet-tweet!

Tweet-tweet...

woof-woof ouch-ouch?

Another birds just arrived.

We should be off.

- He may be more helpful.

- But you said two animals together...

We don't talk to them, right?

She's sitting on her eggs already

and he's feeding her.

Nothings going to happen here.

Tweet-tweet woof-woof ouch-ouch?

- See where he pointed?

- Yes.

Let's go!

- Tweet-tweet, toodle-oo!

- Toodle-oo.

Go left...

Now a little right.

Will we be there by evening?

Because I go to bed pretty early...

Nice smell.

It smells like home.

If lt were nice

it wouldn't be called Stinkville.

Every animal in distress suffers.

If we know about it

and don't help, we share

the blame for their suffering.

He can move

but he's tied to something.

- Something white and light.

- It's attached to his collar.

He probably likes to run away.

It's to stop him.

Here come the Guardian and Cuddles!

Are you conscience-stricken

or just scared I'll save the dog?

Are you sure he wants to be saved?

Captain, Goddamn, why not just

accept that you're losing touch?

Hey, dog, woof-woof!

Rrr-huff vrr-mrrr brrr-huff

huff-brrr?

He says he's fine. He can move

and it's better than being tied up.

Now I'll ask him:

Vrr-huffhuff-huffhuff-huff?

Know what I said? Stand still If

you think Goddamn is a coward.

Now watch me save him.

I'm afraid he hasn't learned a thing.

Tell him not to be scared. I just need

to bite through these wires!

He's saying he'll help you

from the other side.

What? A nest full of eggs in danger?

Back to the birds!

No nest, no trailer, nothing.

I'd say they went that way.

- Why?

- There are tracks.

Darn right you are.

This isn't a road.

It's more like stairs!

If I go quiet

it means I've fallen out.

Tell me when we can turn off!

It's all blurry.

It's the same for me too!

- I think you should go...

- Over to the Left?

No, right, now!

What happened here?

Where'd they go? Speak slower,

who the hell can understand you?

Get some hay and follow me!

We'll be carrying eggs.

We want Cuddles.

To hell with the eggs!

Do as I say and he's yours.

Carry on, I'll head them off!

- I see a road and tiny cars.

- Do you see the trailer?

Nushka's behind us!

Stop it! We didn't do anything to you!
