Last time in BOB WEEKLY, Bob had been captured by some Gorge-ons, and was being taken to Splungeville to be eaten by them. since last issue, Bob had reached Splungeville, and was thrown in a dungeon cell. Being tossed into the dark prison cell, Bob expected to hit the ground hard, but much to his surprise, his fall was broken by a hunched over figure wearing pink taffeta. Looking at the face, Bob realized it was one of the priest of foo-fooiness, Carl! Carl was in a pretty bad condition. His pink taffeta gown was ripped, torn, and stained; and he was curled up in the fetal position, muttering nonsense about Lenin, Trotsky, and a Bolshevik rebellion. Things did not look so good for our hapless dimension travelers when a sudden rumbling from the wall roused them. The wall exploded, and as the dust cleared, a youngish man and woman stood, posing dramatically.
"Greetings, Bob," said the man, "I am Joe, and this is my friend Ni. I am the typical blonde, roguish type with a heart of gold, while Ni is the token beautiful female genius. We have been sent by our company, D.E.U.S. X. Machina to save you."
Bob and Carl exchanged glances. With one cocked eyebrow, Bob silently asked Carl if he thought they should go with the strangers.
"Communism will rise again," Carl replied.
Taking that as a yes, Bob nodded. As they walked out of the door, Bob wondered why they had come to save him, but the question was to be asked later because Joe had lead them into a room full of hungry Gorge-Ons. With an abashed look on his face, Joe apologized. Will Joe's apology be enough? Why are they there to save Bob? How will they get out of this sticky wicket? Only one way to find out...next time in Bob Weekly!
