　　B: (Miss Mood walks out of the office.)
Bumper¹: Why do you waste your time doing these silly cartoons?
Reggie: I like to draw! Besides, all the kids are paying me to draw pictures of them.
Bumper: Paying you? To do these? If everyone looked like this, they should be in a comic book!
Reggie: Hey! That's a great idea! I can just see it...a history of our school with drawings and cartoons of the kids!
Bumper: I doubt if that has ever been done before!
Reggie: You bet! It would be a first...I can see you becoming famous, Mr. Bumper.
Bumper: I---I would?
Reggie: We could write stories about school, our teacher, even about you!
Bumper: It does sound terrific², doesn't it?
Reggie: It'll be a fantastic educational comic book, Mr. Bumper.
Bumper: I like it! I like it! We'll do it, little Reggie! You'll produce a comic book about our wonderful school! Get some paper, pencil, Indian ink, brushes and pens. You've got work to do! Reggie, you could sell ice cubes to Eskimos! I hope the first issue is as good as you say!
