The adventures of Super Numtum
in the new Super Numtum comic.
The comic has landed!
Na-na, na-na!
Oh-oh! I forgot what they're like on Super Numtum comic day.
Larry, Larry, over here!
Pass it to me!
This way, this way!
I'm a scientist!
Comes a-hunting...
Keep calm, Larry boy!
Ooh!
It's there!
This way, this way!
Yeah, yeah!
CRASHING
Hey, I was trying to squeeze in extra sleep before bedtime.
Whoopsy-do!
And what's this?
It's a new Super Numtum comic.
Starring Super Numtum!
The greatest superhero ever!
He stopped Fluffy McTuffy from taking over the world.
Yeah, go Super Numtum, go!
Whoa there, Numpups!
I have no idea what you're talking about!
We didn't have Super Numtum comics when I was a pup!
You didn't?!
- What did you have?! - Dinosaurs? - Unicorns?
Sticks.
ALL: Sticks?!
Yes, sticks.
Do you still have them?
Yes, I do,
because sticks...
Ah, sticks are for life.
Here are the sticks.
Huh?
What do the sticks do?
I think I like the Super Numtum comic better.
Can you do stick twirl with a Super Numtum comic?
Place stick pirates - Arr! -
with a Super Numtum comic?
Or dance the stick-clicking dance with a Super Numtum comic?
Heh-heh-heh! Here we go now!
SPANISH GUITAR MUSIC
Hee-hee-hee! Ole, ole!
Heh-heh-heh-heh-hey!
Still not sure?
Well, I've kept the best bit until last.
They're different lengths - look!
See? This is the shortest stick.
This one is a bit longer.
This one is even longer.
This one's even longer.
But this one, this one is longer
than all of the other sticks, which means it's the longest.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
I know. Why don't you play with the sticks
and I'll read the Super Numtum comic
and we'll see who has the most fun? Are you up for the challenge?
Let the challenge begin.
What game shall we play first?
I know, I know! Stick-dancing!
"Fluffy McTuffy
"is sand-skiing over the Sand Dune of Doom,
"holding a jar of extra-sticky jam!"
In the wrong paws, this jam could spread trouble.
And these are the wrong paws!
Time for my naughtiest laugh yet.
Wah-ha-ha-ha!
Fluffy McTuffy, oh, my.
Little Sandy, you clicked the wrong stick.
I'm a scientist! You're a stick-maker.
Huh! And now,
"Super Numtum has to chase Fluffy McStuffy
"over the Sand Dune of Doom on his sand board!"
Be careful, Super Numtum!
Ha-ha-ha! You'll never catch me...
Woh-ow!
"Fluffy's fallen off her skis
"and now she's stuck fast in an extra-sticky jam slick!"
Fluffy, your plans are unstuck!
But would I ever be...
Koala in trouble?
Allow me.
"Super Numtum's superhero arm
"is not long enough to reach her!
"But he's worked out that one ski plus his arm is longer,
"which means he can reach Fluffy and pull her out of the jam!"
Go, Super Numtum. Go, go, go!
Have you learned your lesson?
Uh...koala fur and extra-sticky jam
don't go together?
Hee-hee-hee-hee.
Who writes this stuff?
It's brilliant!
Can I help you?
Do you want to join in some of our new stick games?
No, I want to...board over the Sand Dune of Doom.
Just like Super Numtum did on his sand board.
ALL: Huh?
The Dune of Doom?!
It's big!
It's dune-y.
It's doomy.
Why don't you start off with something a little smaller?
Like that.
It's just a tiny heap.
No, it's a heap of...uh...
Uh...adventure?
Yes. Do you think you can do it?
Many have tried...
But none have succeeded.
So I'm taking on the Heap of Adventure.
For Flinders, the best way to skate over the heap
is like this.
No, Flinders, the best way to skate over the heap
is like this.
No, like this!
No, like this.
- This! - This!
Would you keep that noise down?
I'm trying to read.
Oh, dear!
And Flinders has taken on the Heap,
whizzing down the slope and towards the Tasty Termite.
ALL: Ah!
Woh!
Past the Tasty Termite and past the Platypus Playhouse.
ALL: Ee!
Woh-oh, ooh!
And round and round and round and round
and round and round the Half Moon Lagoon.
Oh, this is...this is fun!
I'm feeling dizzy!
Numpups to the rescue!
ALL: Yeah!
And the Numpups are in hot pursuit.
Just as he reaches the Heap.
Ha-ha-ha!
Woo-hoo-hoo!
Woh-hoh!
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's incredible!
Flinders has cleared the Heap!
As have Dar Dar, Bendy Go, Little Sandy,
Champer and Humpty Do!
Let's watch that again.
Look at me, I'm king of the Heap!
And now Flinders is celebrating with a relaxing mud bath.
Oh! Oh.
What a hero!
Numtums, we have an emergency.
Flinders is in the mud bath here
and we need to get him out
before Termite Treat Time, here.
Because no Numtum ever likes missing Termite Treat Time.
No, they don't!
Mm!
Did somebody say termite treats?
Oh-oh!
Numpup to the rescue!
Oh!
Huh...
Huh..
Argh...
I can't...reach.
We're not long enough to reach him!
What would Super Numtum do?
He would have used the ski because that's how
he rescued Fluffy McTuffy from the jam slick.
But we don't have a ski.
Do I have to get out of this mud pool and rescue myself?!
Use a stick!
That's right! We can use a stick!
By my calculations, a stick plus a Numtum arm
will be long enough to reach Flinders.
Quick, we have no time to lose.
Grab hold, Flinders!
We need a longer stick.
Whose is the longest?
Mine was longer than Bendy Go's. Here!
ALL: Woh! Woh!
It's still too short!
Who had the longest stick?
Oh, I did, I did! Here it is,
the longest stick of all.
What are you Numpups waiting for?
THEY GROAN
Saved by the longest stick.
And the Numpups!
Are you all right, Flinders?
All right?! That was the most fun I've had in years.
Plus my fur feels silky smooth after all that mud.
Come and get your Termite Treats!
The tasty snack that nothing beats!
Oh, Numpups, I'm sorry.
Here's your comic.
Euh!
Thanks, Flinders(!)
ALL: Huh?
HE LAUGHS
Only kidding. Here it is.
I really had you fooled.
Ho-ho-ho!
