Super Buddies Page #2

It's the birthday cake bugle!

That dude can sure move for food.

Yes! Cake!

Oh-ho, there you guys are!

Well, blood-sugar needs to be

taken care of and that means cake!

Yeah!

Awesome!

Whoa.

Budderball, you found

my extra set of dentures.

I've been looking all over for those.

Thank you, big fella!

Hey, the Rings of Inspiron!

Budderball, did you find them

in my bag?

Have you been collecting them

without telling me?

I hope you superheroes

haven't had too much cake.

I think it's time for ol' Grandpa-Man here

to take care of some farm chores.

- Happy birthday, kiddo.

You're the best, Gramps.

I'll check back on you

all in a little while.

Check it out, guys.

The first issue of Captain Canine

written by Jack Schaeffer.

Budderball and I started it this morning.

It tells us how Kid Courageous

and Captain Canine met!

CooI, dude. Let's see it!

Okay, we're at a really exciting part.

You guys ready?

Yeah.

Afraid of capture,

Captain Megasis made sure

there was no evidence of his landing

and disintegrated his damaged pod.

Intruder! Identify yourself!

Greetings, human.

Captain Megasis of the 23rd Quadrant,

planet Inspiron.

I come in peace.

Oh, thank goodness.

Not that I was scared or anything.

Uh-oh,

it sounds like they're coming for me.

Earthling, may I shape-shift

into your form?

I need to disguise myself.

It won't harm you, I promise.

Okay. If it doesn't hurt, I guess I'm...

Whoo! That kind of tickles!

Looks like this is my new shape

until I can find the Rings

and turn myself back.

Captain Megasis,

now in the shape of a dog,

slipped undetected past the blockade

to begin his search for the Rings.

Not sure where to begin looking,

he wandered down a dirt road.

Whoa!

Oh, that hurt. This just isn't my eon.

Whoa.

Did you just talk to me?

Yes. Doesn't this life-form speak?

Because my research concluded that

human beings spoke in words

just like us.

But you're not a human.

You're a dog. I'm a human.

- Are you sure about that?

- Yes.

Hmm, then I have erred.

My name is Captain Megasis

from the planet Inspiron.

I just crash-landed

and I took the form of some Earthling,

not human, I now gather.

I'm Jack.

If you help me, then I can help you.

When you meet my mom,

remember, dogs don't talk.

- They bark.

- They what?

- Bark. "Woof, woof!" Like that.

- Woof, woof.

- Jack! There you are.

- Mom!

- What happened? Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

Woof... Woof, woof.

Where did you find this dog?

He helped me.

He looks tired and hungry.

Can we keep him?

Dad would've wanted us to.

Oh, the smell of wet dog.

Dad used to say, "If you give

a lost dog a bath, he'll never leave. "

Okay, I guess we'll be testing

your father's theory.

Thanks, Mom.

Over the next few weeks,

Megasis told Jack his story.

And Jack, who loved to draw,

chronicled it in a comic book.

The Darkonians enslaved the Inspirons,

and now I must find the Rings

to free my people.

While searching for the Rings,

Jack and Megasis

decided to become superheroes

and fight crime in honor

of Jack's late father.

From now on, you'll be Captain Canine.

And you shall be Kid Courageous.

You know, without the Rings,

I don't have superpowers, right?

My dad always said,

"You don't have to have superpowers

to be a superhero. "

We'll use our intellect, bravery and wits.

I bet I would've liked your father.

He sounds like a wise man.

He was the best. And you know what?

We can use his old police radio

to save people

and bring evildoers to justice.

Bank robbery in progress.

Three hostages. All units, report.

You wanna do this, Captain Canine?

And so our adventure begins!

Whoa!

That's so cool.

And that's how Kid Courageous

and Captain Canine came to be.

The rumor in the comic book world

is that everything that Jack Schaeffer

wrote in these comics is real.

Jack, the Rings.

Someone's found them,

they've been activated.

What? Really?

Well, I'm getting a signal,

but it's intermittent.

I can't quite track the location.

We haven't had a signal in years,

since that false alarm in 2002.

I'd better make sure

this is the real thing.

Time to break the fast

with a morning snack.

Whoa, what's happening to me?

Whoa!

How did I get this strong?

Pepperoni!

If you are what you eat,

I'm about to become hot and spicy!

- Budderball!

- Whoa, boy. What happened?

Looks like we can use

a new icebox, huh?

Billy, make sure

you take out the garbage.

All right. Be right back, Dawg.

Oh, baby, slamma-jamma dunk!

B- Dawg!

How'd you get up there?

Om...

- Om...

- Om...

Ah!

Oh, that gives new meaning

to "Downward Dog. "

Nothing like a fresh pile of manure.

- Bath time!

- Oh, no.

Has it been a month already?

I'm cornered. Must hide. Must hide!

Mom says she can smell you

from the kitchen.

Where are you, dude?

You can't see me? I'm invisible?

This is totally radical.

I'll never have to bathe again!

Oh, no. Sprinklers!

There you are! Sorry, dude,

but Mom will want me to add soap

to that water.

You guys, I'm open!

Come on, guys,

remember your defense! Come on!

Move that ball! That's it!

Hey! That was a foul!

No foul.

That's a goal!

Now, that's one for girl power.

It's really happening.

I verified everything.

The Rings have been activated.

This is real, Jack.

- Where are they?

- Somewhere close to us.

Slightly northeast. Not too far,

but we can't pinpoint exactly where yet.

We need a stronger activation.

Trouble is if we're getting a reading,

that means Drex can, too.

Oh, Commander Drex, sir?

I thought I said no interruptions,

Monk-E!

I'm still ruing the day

I lost the Rings of Inspiron forever!

Oh, yes, Commander.

I realize that, but that's just it.

After all this time, I mean,

we have had a faint signal.

But that's impossible!

They were destroyed when that fool

Megasis rammed my ship and perished.

Well, you see, the signal came

from the 49th Quadrant.

A green and blue planet

we have located called Earth.

Megasis must have sent them there

before he disintegrated

along with his ship.

Monk-E, we must leave at once!

Ooh, the glory of exploration!

Oh, I'll prepare your space pod

immediately, sir.

Budderball!

'Sup with the 911 howl, dawg?

The reason I called

this emergency meeting is...

Well, I noticed something strange.

Where are MudBud and Rosebud?

What do you mean, dude?

I'm right here.

Whoa.

It keeps happening to me, bro.

Here one minute, gone the next.

Sis is fashionably late, as usual.

Nope. Right on time. It's like I'm so fast

that everything is so last season

by the time it gets to me.

Hold on, I just remembered I forgot

the hat that I wanted to wear

that totally complements my bow.

Playa, please!

And you dawgs call me motor-mouth.

There! Much better.

Whoa! That dudette's got mega-speed.

That's just it.

Something very strange

is happening to me, too.

I'm strong like a bull,

just like I always wanted to be.

Buddha, anything odd

going on with you?
