“Gas Explosion” – Episode 103

Canine-humanoid superhero “Flea” Fleaglossitty Floppinsplodge, AKA “Sooperflea,” continues to be plagued by the spotted hyenas chattering incessantly within the confines of his skull. Meanwhile, Dr. Alexandra C. Idnas and therapist Ingabore Scriblig, AKA “Grandma,” continue caring for stranded earthling Nicki Rodriguez who’s been zigzagging in and out of consciousness, unaware that her employer and landlord, canine-humanoid Grate Gizzygalumpaggis “Zig” Gneeecey’s plane went down. She didn’t even know that he’d left for the remote island of Guadalulu to try and delay Perswayssick County’s upcoming election. 

The Perswayssick Superhero Academy’s arrogant headmaster, Professor Willard Wallbang, comes calling to inform Sooperflea that if Gneeecey has not survived the “aviation mishap,” his estate will bear sole legal responsibility for destruction to school property and medical expenses stemming from injuries sustained by Nicki when she slammed headfirst into the six-foot-tall cinderblock wall she failed to fly over.   

That strange, raspy-voice, stubble-faced Dorothy shows up yet again, asking to come inside Gneeecey’s mansion because she needs to use the bathroom. Sooperflea denies Dorothy’s request but says she’s free to use an outhouse nestled in the backyard. Needless to say, Dorothy’s gas problem was pretty severe.

After the cops and firemen leave, Sooperflea runs upstairs to check on Nicki. Turns out that the explosion outside jolted her back into reality. She, Sooperflea, Dr. Idnas, and Grandma happen to be watching Gneeecey’s station, GAS-TV Channel Three-and-a-half. Programming is interrupted by breaking news—Gneeecey’s plane has been located in the Stomachian Sea, and it appears that there are no survivors. Gneeecey is specifically named as a passenger on the ill-fated Bimbus Air Flight 333. 

Nicki, Dr. Idnas, and Grandma are in shock, but Sooperflea refuses to accept that his childhood best friend has perished. The superhero believes that his faulty superhero ESP is functioning again and that the spotted hyenas are trying to tell him something. He does some quick research and zooms off to Pimplesplotch Island, the only place between Perswayssick City and Guadalulu inhabited by spotted hyenas.

Sooperflea lands right in the pimplepuke tree Gneeecey’s hiding in. When the hyenas nap, the two canine-humanoids make a break for it and jump into the inflatable dinghy that the superhero packed. Afloat in the Stomachian Sea, they can see the landmass that is Guadalulu Island. But what happens next makes Dorothy’s gas problem look like child’s play.
