The Bogeyman Sidekick

# We are Splitsboro kids and we go to Sidekick School

# Learning to be second best while playing by the rules

# Maxum Man is missing

# Now we rule the school

# Flying, smashing, bashing, stomping, looking super cool

# I'm a sidekick, sidekick - that's the life for me

# Half-sized super zeros with full-sized super dreams

# Sidekick, sidekick What an awesome gig!

# Just like superheroes

# Just like superzeros

# But only half as big # Sidekick! #

Rock, paper, scissors, enchanted hammer, black holes.

Nyah!

Ha-ha-ha.

How awesome!

Hi-yah!

Ah, no!

Mm-hmm.

Ah! no!

Scissors banish hammer. Eric loses.

2,046 games in a row.

In your face!

2,047 is the charm, dude.

New game.

-OK, Vana, I'm thinking of a number between one and...

-Six.

Ah!

Guys, games are supposed to be fun, right? Who cares who wins?

Well, Maxum Man, for one. If a hero does not win, what is he?

He's Eric!

Hah, I am being kidding. Let me show you.

Welcome to Maxum on Maxum, chapter 307 - Winning At Winning.

Smashy-smashy time!

While competing against friend or foe,

always remember one thing - winning isn't everything...

Ha-ha-ha!

..it's the only thing.

Hah, don't worry, Golly Gee Kid, I'll go easy on you.

You're the best.

Whoa, whoa.

Ah!

I'm OK.

If you're not a winner, then...

well, I don't even want to finish that sentence. Just win, OK?

I told you winning was everything.

Fine, what game is next?

It won't matter because you're still going to lose.

Hey, I've got a free Game Park pass.

Mini golf? Sounds good to me.

Well, it sounds even better to me.

Where did you get the free pass?

From a guy with a golf club hand in an alley on a full moon.

And that doesn't bother anyone?

-Let's do this.

-Oh, it's on!

OK, it's just me, then.

Ha-hey, it's putter-arm guy!

Yes, but you probably know me better as The Bogeyman.

The Splitsboro Mini Golf Tournament.

Came in second place?

I missed the last putt.

Everyone made fun of me.

I vowed revenge!

Oh...

Well, this is my revenge.

Ah!

Ha-ha-ha!

Wa-ha-ha!

There is no escape. The whole world will pay for mocking my loss.

OK. One, nobody even remembers your loss,

and two, how will shrinking us into a snow globe make the whole world pay?

I expected more customers.

Behold, The Mini Golf Course Of Doom.

Everyone plays, the winner goes free,

leaving the losers behind to stay in my snow globe...

for ever!

Sorry, Bogeyman, we're a team and you'll never divide us.

Fore!

-Yes!

-Vana, what are you doing?

Here's the plan.

I win, I get out of the globe, I kick Bogeyman's butt,

I rescue everyone.

Oh, and did I mention the part where I win?

Well, I think it's a better idea if I win and do all that stuff first.

Uh, uh, uh. Wait for it...

Oh, come on! Two holes in one?

That's not even fair, or possible!

Prepare yourself, for you stand before hole three,

The Dutch Swell.

Ha-ha-ha!

Ah!

Time for me to win, then get out of here and save us all.

And did I mention the part where I win?

Fore!

Don't you think we should be concentrating on getting

out of here, instead of you winning?

This way, we get out of here and I get to beat Vana.

Eat that, Miss "Wait-For-It".

Nice try, but what you really wanted to do was this. Kitty?

-Vana, I really think we should be working together to...

-Kitty!

All right, but just because we practised this and it's wicked cool.

Boo-yah! Right back at you, Needles.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Argh...

Ah!

Yah! Hi-yah!

Yeah, we're never going to get out of here. Oh...

And now...

the final hole.

I'm up.

No-one beats The Log-Slam Of...

Fearfulness.

You can't rattle me, I'm in the zone.

-Wooga, wooga, jinx, jinx!

-Bing, boing, ring, roing, ha-ha.

What are we doing?

Ah!

Wa-ha-ha-ha.

Eric, put that club down!

The game doesn't matter, we have to help each other escape.

But Vana and I are almost tied. Oh.

Whoa!

Kitty!

-Whoa. Eric!

-OK, OK, just let me make this putt.

Ah!

Mwa-ha-ha-ha.

Aahh! Eric!

Oh, man, what was I thinking?

Kitty, you were right, winning isn't everything.

Jump, I'll catch you.

Ah!

Stop wasting time.

Let's get back to the game so I can win, already.

-Vana, winning has to wait.

-Why?

Oh, that's why.

If you enjoyed The Log Of Peril, wait till you see...

The Banana Of Doom!

Hold up.

We only have a couple of seconds before the giant banana gets here.

Giant banana...

-You done?

-Ha-ha-ha, for now.

OK, here's the plan.

Bogeyman is obsessed with winning.

Vana and I will use that to distract him

while you guys climb out of here and...

Argh, my roommate ate my last banana, so now cringe in fear at...

The Carrot Of Decimation!

Wow, that is one impressive carrot,

but how would you like to make this game a little more interesting?

I already find this interesting.

Well, how about one hole, just you and me.

I win, you set us all free, and if you win,

I give you...

Maxum Man's mansion.

-ACTING:

-Eric, no, he'll have all of Maxum Man's powerful weapons!

Not to mention his state-of-the-art virtual reality mega golf course.

And the kitchen full of bananas.

Maybe you guys are right.

Ha-ha, too late, I accept.

You know this is MY course, right, where I'm undefeated? I go first.

Yes! Finally I'm going to win something.

-ACTING:

-This is the worst plan ever, you'll never beat him.

Go.

How was I supposed to know he was so good at mini golf?

He has a putter for a hand.

That doesn't mean anything.

Can we get a move on?

I love the arguing, but save it for when you are my eternal prisoners.

Thanks, I was getting rope burn.

Let's just get to the remote and zap them out of there.

Ah!

Oof, oh, ah.

Whoa!

It totally worked!

Let's see how you like it down here for eternity, Bogeyman.

Kitty, get us out of here.

All right, we did it!

Eww.

You know, technically, we still don't have a winner.

I got these free anti-matter curling tickets.

Where did you get those from?

A guy with a broom for a hand in a dark alley.

Sounds good to me.

Sounds even better to me.
