Peter: I've never seen a cartoon drawn with such life like eyes. Jason: I'm going for that "graphic novel" look. (The Adventures of Slug Man and Leech Boy. A Comic Book Spectacular By Jason Fox. Issue #5,039,246 "The Trap!!!" )(As evening falls over stately Slug Manor, we find our millionaire heroes relaxing incognito over a friendly game of "Jasonrok's Dinosaur Hunter.") Leech Boy: Video games would be a lot easier if we had hands. Slug Man: Too easy, my young ward. (Suddenly, like a giant blue light with an "S" in it, the Slug Beacon appears in the sky!!! Wasting no time, our heroes dash to the Slug Cave, located deep underground!!!) Slug Man: To the Slugmobile, Leech Boy!!! Leech Boy: Why can't we ever take the Slug Saturn V?! (With its 200 trillion Slugpower engine, the Slugmobile races toward the gleaming city of Jasonopolis!!!) Slug Man: Great, we're stuck driving behind some granny in a Yugo. (Where, our heroes learn, it was not the police commissioner who had summonded them but someone else!!! But who???) Leech Man: Holy vermin, Slug Man!!! Slug Man: You mean unholy, don't you? Voice from crowd: Cackle cackle. (Yes, it was their nemesis, the evil and vile Paige-)-Tron, who had lured them into a diabolical trap!!!) Leech Boy: Gasp! I'm choking, Slug Man! Slug Man: Must get air... Paige-O-Tron: Fools! My toxic bad breath must destroy you and soon I will rule the world!!!! Jason: I must say, the real satisfaction in cartooning comes from sharing one's work with others. Marcus: I think she just got to the part about her exploding pimple bullets.
