Nope. I'm done. I didn't know we were going to start out with...this...whatever it is. I'm sorry about this, everybody.
Captain Kid's thing is that he's always bragging about how strong and athletic he is. He gets this way by cheating. He's that guy in high school you hated. Yes, that guy. That jerk.
Pudgy's not that Pudgy, really.
Why does Captain Kid's hair do that?
Oh no! Captain Kid is gonna get bamboozled!
No one is going to comment that Captain Kid is running into the woods instead on staying on the race route? Once he went into the woods he should've been disqualified.
Is it though? Is it?
Hmm, it seems as if cheating is just as hard...or harder...than just doing what you are supposed to do.
Here's hoping that's a downhill slope directly into Hell.
Hey, I was right.
So it's clear that Pudgy is trying to kill Captain Kid, right? That's clear now.
Even if this was a shortcut, I don't think Captain Kid is going to win this thing anymore.
I'm taking bets on how long Captain Kid's body will remain lost in the woods before a hiker spots it. I'm going twelve years.
Look who's finally caught up. Not with the others racers but with the overall story. You know what? Never mind.
I don't know either but that snake seems to be doing a good job keeping up. It also looks really harmless.
So he's running back to where he entered the woods? There is no way he's gonna cheat his way to success now!
I just noticed that Captain Kid's number for the race is 0. As it should be.
Why does everyone seems to care about Captain Kid so much? Wait. Is he one of those...special...kids? Are we making fun of someone who shouldn't be made fun of?
Captain Kid is a phony.
No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no...
NO!
It seems as if no one is excited that Captain Kid won. "Here's your medal. Hope you choke on it."
Well, the story is over and for some reason I feel emptier...dirtier, maybe. Either way, I look forward to the next issue of Pudgy trying to vanquish his old foe, Captain Kid.
If you would like to support my writing or research, you can buy me a cup of coffee over on Ko-fi.
