Kooky Page #6

That's a silly question,

how can a bird answer that?

Is he coming back for me?

Does he need my help?

Then there's no time to lose!

Fresh water is what I sell...

Help!

- You're hanging onto my paddle, want to buy it?

- No.

- Then let go of it.

- But I'll drown.

- Do you want a beautiful blue marble for it?

- It's a deal.

I had a boat but they took it.

Someone ratted on me.

- Someone from here?

- Yes.

The things people do...

Everything will be okay,

Goddamn turns to rubbish today.

- Hey, a tin can.

- A tin can with someone in it.

Straight into our hands.

Let's wrap him up.

Tape his legs together!

Quick, after him!

Get off of me!

Here it is, "Capt. Goddamn

unjustly Imprisoned..."

Yes, they got it right.

"...looking for a way

to get Kooky home."

Precisely what I'm doing.

We should go back

and rip the Bag men to shreds.

- What does it say?

- Now it's about you, Kooky returns.

Actually, it says:

"The hero Kooky returns."

It says I'm to take you home

by way of Stinkville.

Aha, we have

to go through Stinkville!

- So it also tell the future?

- Sure, I just needed glasses.

I'll teach you to read it if you like.

I'll let you go, but you have

to promise me something.

Promise me that wires

are part of nature and belong here.

Does it say anything about medicine

for asthma?

Here's something..."Some trees use their

leaves to breathe others their needles."

"The animals and stones breathe differently"

Just some gobbledygook instead

of admitting it doesn't know.

Something strange is coming.

"For you are threatened..."

Which is like "Because

you are in danger..."

I think we'd better...

This is humiliating.

It's time I stood up to that brat!

It would've said if we're

supposed to fight them!

But you're to take me home through Stinkville.

Damn right!

- Go on, I'll hold them off.

- Attack!

Take that! And that!

Tear them apart!

Fire!

Roast that Teddy!

- Take cover water!

- No! I can't get wet!

You're going to get wet.

Damn, that's a lot of water!

Blast it!

And don't come back!

I'll have you torn apart,

and sand kicked in your face!

- Hey, there's a "P" in "apart."

- That wasn't a rhyme!

- This will put you back on your feet.

- But I'm better already.

That's good,

then you'll be home soon.

- What'll you do now?

- After a while I'll go back.

But don't worry I'll be okay.

- Know what else was written there?

- What?

That the next Guardian

will be small and furry.

- What do you make of that?

- That you made it up!

See how smart you are?

You'd make a great Guardian.

You're a hero with a heart.

That's the most important thing of all

Don't tell me

you won't miss all of this.

I will miss it,

but I have to go home.

Maybe they'll throw you out again

and we'll meet once more.

Hopefully not, but I'd be glad because

of it, because I've grown fond of you.

Looking at something over there?

Or have I touched a nerve?

- The second one.

- Fine, let it go then.

Hey, there's that dog!

Don't move! Two jumps

and he's on us.

But he's friendly. I feel he is kind.

Hi, I'm Kooky

and that's Captain Goddamn.

Come with us if you want.

We're not going to hurt you.

- I could've sworn I threw him out.

- He came back! He made it!

He came back, Mum...

Mum says I dreamed it all.

That Goddamn doesn't exist.

But Mum never saw Santa Claus

either, and he gave her a watch.

The good news is

she's allowed Kooky to stay.

We spray him once a week

and freeze him for 24 hours.

He smells like ice cream.

All because he doesn't have

a tag saying he's washable.

Please take the cart back.

Hi.

Hi there.

-Is he yours?

- He's a stray. I can't get rid of him.

You want him?

He looks after me when

I pass out. He's a good friend.

- If I ask you something will you tell me the truth?

- Well, that depends on your question.

Can you make yourself smaller?

- What do you mean?

- Didn't you used to be smaller?

Come here, you clever boy.

I'll tell you a secret.

Everyone wants to be small again.

Because it's the best

and you know it, don't you?

- Ondra!

- Your mum's calling.

You're Captain Goddamn, aren't you?

Come on, Ondra...

- We don't talk to strangers. What did he say?

- Nothing.

We can take this outfit off

if you want.

But you'd have

to go back on the shelf.

What's this?

You're not undressing him, are you?

I think he looks cute in it.

Teeth brushed?

Have you taken this?

I'll do it myself.

Now count to ten. Goodnight.

One... two... three... four...

...five... six... seven... eight...

...nine... ten.

Did anyone see what happened?

Hello, sir, can you stand?

Can you hear me?

You're bleeding.

It's only wine.

After you get better

please be small again.

And go back to the forest.

They need you.

- Who needs me?

- They all know how good you are now.

Is this your grandpa?

Can you hear me?

What's your name?

Goddamn. Captain Goddamn.

Here, take him.

You will go back, won't you?

I'm not so small that I don't know

that man probably wasn't Goddamn.

And if he died that they would

have thrown Kooky away.

But he can take care of himself.

He can find his way home again.

He's already done it once.

But if that really was Goddamn,

and if he gets better,

...and if he takes that dog with him,

then Nushka had better look out!
