Goober Grove

PANEL 1 Razzlyn looks at Rosco's house and notices it has a garage. Razzlyn: I have been wondering... why does your house have a garage? Do you even have a license? Rosco: C'mon in. I'll show ya'. PANEL 2 Rosco clicks a remote to open his garage door. Inside are shelves lined with many pairs of shoes and stacks of shoeboxes littered about. Razzlyn: Whoa. PANEL 3 Razzlyn and Rosco walk into the garage. Razzlyn: Is... there a reason why you own all of these shoes? Rosco: I like shoe shopping, Razzlyn. Get with the times. PANEL 4 Razzlyn points at the shoes Rosco's wearing, which are in very poor condition. Razzlyn: But... what is the point? You have been wearing those beat-up old shoes for the past five years. PANEL 5 Rosco puts his hands on Razzlyn's shoulders. Rosco: Razzlyn. It's about the journey, not the destination.

TITLE PANEL At the top of the panel is “Goober Grove by Jasmine Wright” written in small red lettering. Underneath is “Expected Value” in bold, white text. Underneath is an image of Rosco wearing a business suit placed in front of a stock chart. The line is trending upwards. PANEL 1 Razzlyn and Rosco are walking through the woods. Rosco: The convenience store isn't handing out pennies with change anymore! Can you believe it?! Razzlyn: Apparently they are not going to be minted anymore... PANEL 2 Razzlyn looks at Rosco. Razzlyn: Is this going to hamper your plan to become a millionaire from pennies alone? Rosco: Quite the opposite, actually! PANEL 3 Rosco continues along, and Razzlyn follows him. Rosco: With no new pennies being minted, pennies will become rarer and therefore more valuable! Razzlyn: Is that how that works? PANEL 4 Rosco and Razzlyn both stop walking. Rosco: Why, in 20 years, I bet each penny will be worth 100 bucks! Imagine the possibilities... PANEL 5 Rosco imagines a future 20 years in which an older version of himself hands an older version of Ziggy a jar filled with pennies. Rosco: Yo, Ziggy! I'd like to buy 50 yachts, please! Ziggy: Read the sign, Rosco. PANEL 6 A close-up of the screen Ziggy was pointing to. “We don't accept pennies. ...or sell yachts.” An image of a penny and a yacht are both crossed out.

Georgetta: Yeah, ever since Halloween I've been waking up in the middle of the night... PANEL 3 Georgetta puts her arm around Razzlyn's shoulder. Georgetta: What time is it even? Midnight? 3am? Razzlyn: Georgetta, Daylight Savings Time just ended. PANEL 4 Razzlyn shows Georgetta her phone. Razzlyn: It is 5:30 in the afternoon. Georgetta: I mean that's still a weird time to wake up!

PANEL 2 Rosco looks around the room. Rosco: That's cool. Does anyone wanna stay around? Have a little Halloween party? PANEL 3 Razzlynette stretches her arms out and yawns. Razzlynette: Gosh, I don't know... I'm kind of tired after dealing with that ghost. Razzlyn fluffs her hair with a distressed expression. Razzlyn: Yeah, and all the strawberry Kool-Aid in my hair is getting... uncomfortably sticky. PANEL 4 Razzlynella walks up the stairs, and looks back at Rosco, who is upset. Rosco: what?! You're just gonna leave like that?! Razzlynella: Don't worry, man. We can hang out next Halloween maybe. PANEL 5 Georgetta tries to comfort Rosco. Georgetta: Hey now, you just got to enjoy an exciting night with your friends! Isn't that basically a party already? PANEL 6 Rosco holds his arms up in exasperation. Rosco: I didn't enjoy it! I got possessed, Georgetta! Georgetta: Look, I'm just trying to cheer you up, okay?

PANEL 1 The Ghoulies apologizes to Rosco. The Ghoulies: Dude, why didn't you show me this? I wouldn't need to haunt you if I knew I had a spare! Rosco: I was kinda hoping to save it to clone myself someday, but you need it more than I do. PANEL 2 Rosco and The Ghoulies shake hands. The Ghoulies: Sorry for possessing you and trying to chop off your hand even though you kinda deserved it. Rosco: No worries, that's all water under the bridge. PANEL 3 The Ghoulies finds peace. The Ghoulies: I think... this is what I needed to move on... PANEL 4 The Ghoulies fades out of existence as the rest of the goobers look at him. The Ghoulies: Thank you... PANEL 5 The pickle jar The Ghoulies was holding falls to the floor and smashes open. The goobers all recoil in shock. PANEL 6 Georgetta is disappointed.

PANEL 5 The Ghoulies holds the pickle jar in his arm and points to it. The Ghoulies: Wait, this is way better than my old hand! It has a cool tattoo and everything! PANEL 6 Razzlyn is frustrated by The Ghoulies' remark. Razzlyn: It's not cool. Razzlynette looks at her tattoo in shame, while Razzlynella looks annoyed at Razzlyn.

Razzlynella: All I can hear right now is my growling stomach... PANEL 2 Razzlyn looks at Razzlynella as she rummages through the fridge. Razzlyn: I cannot stop you, but I don't think Rosco would appreciate you rummaging through his fridge. Razzlynella: I mean the ghost was doing it earlier. Let's pin the blame on him. PANEL 3 Razzlynella closes the fridge and looks back at Razzlynette. Razzlynella: Ugh, there's nothing good to eat in here. Babe, could you check the freezer for me? Razzlynette: On it, darling~! PANEL 4 Razzlynette opens the freezer door. Razzlynette: Whoa... would you look at this! PANEL 5 Razzlynette pulls out a pickle jar with Rosco's severed hand on it. It has a potato tattoo matching her own. Razzlynette: This severed hand has the same tattoo as me! PANEL 6 Razzlynella and Razzlyn both look at the severed hand. Razzlynella: Damn, a severed hand?

Georgetta: I contributed just as much, if not more to that graverobbing operation. PANEL 3 Georgetta puts her arm around Rosco's shoulder and points at The Ghoulies. Georgetta: So if you wanna haunt him, you're gonna have to haunt me too! PANEL 4 The Ghoulies shrugs. The Ghoulies: Yeah, okay. I'll just haunt both of ya'. PANEL 5 Rosco and Georgetta run out of the kitchen as The Ghoulies chases them. Rosco: Georgetta! Run!! PANEL 6 Razzlyn interrupts The Ghoulies chasing Rosco and Georgetta.

Why are you stealing this guy's food? PANEL 2 The Ghoulies points at his missing left hand. The Ghoulies: I think it's a small price to pay given he stole my damn hand. PANEL 3 Razzlynella points at The Ghoulies in shock. Razzlynella: Wait, when I heard y'all went graverobbing, I assumed you stole like, clothes or treasure. You stole this guy's hand? That's messed up! The Ghoulies nods in agreement. PANEL 4 Razzlyn defends herself. Razzlyn: In my defense, I never stuck my shovel in the ground even once. Razzlynella: Oh, that's a relief. Glad to know you're lamer than I thought. PANEL 5 Razzlyn walks into the kitchen. Razzlyn: Anyway, is there a reason you waited five years to haunt Rosco? The Ghoulies: Eh, I wanted to give it some time. See if I could move on. PANEL 6 The Ghoulies squints as he looks at the other goobers. The Ghoulies: But I never did. And now I'm gonna make him pay.

I thought she'd be good at talking to ghosts! Razzlynella: I haven't actually tried it before, but y'know. Worth a shot. PANEL 3 Rosco is still confused. Rosco: And her girlfriend? Razzlynette (dressed as Kasane Teto from the music video for BIRDBRAIN) leaps into frame putting her hands on Razzlynella's shoulders. Razzlynette: I'm here for moral support!

Rosco: So Ziggy, if I wanna kill a ghost, should I be using roach killer or bleach? Ziggy: What? You can't kill a ghost. Y'know... 'cause they're already dead. PANEL 2 Ziggy looks back at Rosco. Ziggy: The only way to get rid of a ghost is to get them to feel content in death. Everyone knows that. Rosco: Right... everyone... PANEL 3 Ziggy seems unimpressed by Rosco's lack of knowledge. Ziggy: Rosco, this stuff is like 8th grade science class. How could you forget? Rosco looks away from Ziggy nervously. Rosco: Ehhhh... PANEL 4 Flashback to 8th grade science class, where Ms. Smiddlemore is pointing at a diagram of a ghost labelled "terror", "ectojuice", and "butter". Ms. Smiddlemore: As you can see, ghosts primarily consist of three things... Rosco, are you paying attention? PANEL 5 A young Razzlyn leans over to talk to Rosco, who is preparing to fire a flaming spitball. Razzlyn: I think she's talking to you. PANEL 6 Rosco shrugs. Rosco: Oh. No, ma'am.

Rosco: Razzlyn! Georgetta! You gotta help me! My house is being haunted by a gh-gh-gh-ghost! PANEL 3 Rosco clings to Razzlyn, who flinches. Rosco: You mind if I live here for the next few weeks or months or years? Until the ghost is gone. Razzlyn: I mean... couldn't the ghost just come haunt you here? PANEL 4 Rosco sits on the couch next to Georgetta, who put her hand around Rosco's shoulder. Georgetta: I don't get it... why would a ghost be so insistent on haunting you? Rosco: Well, remember when we went graverobbing? Apparently some people don't like giving a hand. PANEL 5 Rosco gets off the couch and looks back at them. Rosco: But you two are different! Meet me at my place around 9, we'll take on this ghost together! PANEL 6 Razzlyn and Georgetta look at Rosco as he leaves. Razzlyn: He is not giving us a choice, is he? Georgetta: Nope.

PANEL 1 Razzlyn, Georgetta, and Rosco can all be seen lazing around in Razzlyn's living room. Narration: Oh dear.

Narration: It's times like this that make you wonder what they think about... PANEL 3 A close-up of the goobers around the couch, with their thoughts revealed. Razzlyn (thinking): What if the “prog” in “prog rock” was short for “progesterone”... I think that would be awesome. Georgetta: I really hope whoever that is in the first two panels thinks I'm cute.

Rosco: A sad truth is most people have a really warped perspective of what justice looks like. Razzlyn: As rich as it is coming from him, he is right. PANEL 5 Georgetta looks back at them sadly.
