cozily nestled in the sparkling waters of audubon bay, the city of st. canard proudly raises its brightlylit buildings against the starry night sky!
night in st. Canard is topped by tumultuous traffic, flooding wide-swept avenues with an ocean of headlights!
oh, honey! it’s just like the pamphlets we saw at the state line!
we were right to come here on vacation!
it’s a beautiful, brassy town! but with a tarnished underside…
I adore st. canard, wilbur!
we were also right to keep our sunglasses on! [ha-ha-ha!]
you won’t catch me wanderin’ in there! it’s as dark as a storm cellar! HONK!
like deep, open wounds, a big city’s dark alleys expose darker veins…
how… picturesque?
look there... see it? no, not the storm cellar… the gateway to our big city’s underside…
what say we get some ice cream?
cookie dough or french vanilla?
…do its rabid rats emerge from the teeming cesspools beneath!
yes! a rusted manhole cover!
…and with our pesky tourists exiting, we can at last follow the darker veins to the darkest heart!
it’s plaaaytime! after months of r&d, I, quackerjack, have created the first truly universal remote control!
for only when night utterly envelops st. canard…
instead of tvs, I’ll remotely control people… and warp this entire planet into a 1970s variety show! [heeheehee-hahaha! ] so! a channelchanging churl choosing chumps!
huh? whazzat?! who—
I am the weirdo giggling in church at the funeral of crime!
I am darkwing duck!
have fun… dumbo!
I
am the terror that flaps in the night…
hey, a bull elephant. both options in one!
it was that, or “I am the bull in your china shop”…
[aagh!] go away! nobody likes you!!
I mean, I considered “I am the elephant in your china shop,” but I’m tired and that’s dumb!
dumb, you say? well, “dumb” I can do!
the circus is on channel 5! enjoy your three-ring bind!
[gak! ] calm down! it was a joke!
owie! you’re no bull… you’re a bully! so ya wanna play rough? fine! game on!
try talking and breathing now, fishwing flop…
channel-change! “swan lake danse macabre” on channel 2!
channel-change! “buffalo billy’s roundup” on channel 22!
channel-change! “bitey fishies of the amazon” on channel 222!
“oh mah darlin’, oh mah darlin’…”
I’m fine with you breathing, quackerjack. but talking? not so much.
no! not that! have pity!
enjoy the joys of snail mail, “packagejack”!
[sigh!] that was insultingly easy. maybe I am in a rut…
what?!
c’mon! play fair!
lessee… ah, yes! I seem to remember a documentary about the post office on channel 2222!
the hero properly labels his pithy package… “no return to sender!”
pity for perpetrators? preposterous! channelchange!
”I am the toothy piranha in your river of reproach”? eugh, no.
