He arrived at Bugs office. The lights were dimmed and Bugs was just a silhouette in the dark. "What's up, Bug?" Buster said cheerily. "Buster, there's trouble brewing at Acme Loo. And it's name is Montana Max!" "Don't tell me he's been bribing the Fox Execs to give him bigger parts again?" "No." "Is he stealing from orphans again?" "No." "He's not flashing the Muppet Babies again?" "NO!" Bugs shouted. "This is much worse and I need your help to find out what he's up to! Monty's been buying up lots of property from Warner Bros, Hannah Barbara and--" The word stuck in Bug's throat. "--Disney!" "Woh! This must really be big if he's in with those guys!" "It's worse. We also know that he bough an Island east of Wackyland. And he's calling it Jurassick Island. But we have no idea what he's up to. That's what I want you to find out. It he's up to something with those other studios and Warner Bros, then we have to know about it! Copyrights and the survival of ALL animation may be at stake." "Yeah, once that Monty's got his mind set, there's no stopping him." Meanwhile at a secret vault in Los Angeles a group of men were descending into a dark corridor. In the cold dark vault they sifted through piles of discarded rubish. Rubish, that is to some. They were wearing minors hats. The beams of light cut through the darkness. "I've got one!" One of the men called, holding up his treasure. In his hand was an animation cel. The bright light from his helmet cut through the clear plastic. On the cel was Bugs Bunny himself. It was from a cartoon called "Elmer's Candid Camera" made way back in 1940. His finger moved to one of the corners of the cel. "Right there!" he declared. PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/19/93 1:03 AM And there, on the corner of the cel, right next to Bugs' should was nothing but a smudge. But it was exactly what they were looking for. "Mr Max is going to be pleased," the foreman announced. He looked up toward the hallway. "Hey! Get me a line down here! And get me Acme Acres on the line!" And in yet another location, somewhere in Mexico a secret meeting was taking place. A man in dark sunglasses walked through the streets until he found the cafe he was looking for. In his hand was a briefcase filled with money. He stopped off at the bar, ordered a drink and waited for the person he was going to meet. And then the door to the bar opened. In walked a sailor. Well, he wasn't really a sailor, he was just wearing a sailor suit. The man walked up to the sailor and said. "I'm h ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Yes, I'm Donald Duck," the white duck in the sailors suit said. "You got my money." "Yes, Mr. Duck. Are you sure Montana Max has no idea what you're up to." "Don't worry," the duck said in an almost inaudible slobbering of words. "Those stupid Warner Bros toons don't suspect a thing! Tell Mr. Disney, I'll have what he wants." "Here," the man said, handing Donald a thermos. "You get those animation cels, then roll them up and put them safely into this thermos." "I know my job! I didn't make all those WONDERFUL cartoons without learning something! I'm not no stupid Daffy Duck," Donald joked, slapping his thigh. Good thing Daffy didn't here that, the man thought. He'd fricacee that duck in nothing flat. Sailor suit and all. Daffy was not a toon to be crossed. "You have my money!" Donald demanded. "Yeah." He slid the briefcase across the table. Just make sure you do your part, or you'll be doing spit shining Mickey Mouse's shoes for a living!" Meanwhile back at Acme Acres... Plucky Duck and Shirley the Loon were working late in the film vaults. Shirley was helping Plucky with his Animation History Finals. The two of them had spent months studing every Warner Brothers cartoon ever made. "Let's see, 'Duck Amuck' again," Shirley said. Plucky swept her into his arms. "I love it when you talk toons. Especially Daffy toons. He is my hero." "You know, Plucky," Shirley said, making no move to fight off his advances, "we like must know more about cartoons than like anyone or sum junk." "And that's why I want your help," a voice said from the doorway. Plucky dropped Shirley; who disappeared into a puff of dust on the vault floor. "Montana Max!" Plucky declared. "What are you doing here!" "I need your help duck," Monty said. "Me help you! That's ridiculous!" Monty smiled. "There's plenty of money in it for you." "Like I said," Plucky repeated, "that's a ridiculously interesting idea." He slid his arm around Monty's shoulder. "What did you have in mind." PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/19/93 1:04 AM "I want you and Shriley to come to my new Island. Jurassick Island for the weekend. I plan on revealing a breakthrough that will make millions. Well, for me...more millions! Ha!" "Like I have really bad vibes about this, Plucky." "Shirl's right, we have to study up on cartoons." "Plucky," Monty baited, "you'll learn more about cartoons on Jurassick Island than you could ever learn here in this dark cellar! Not to mention with my money and your keen greed...uh...business scense, you'll be the richest Duck in all toondom!" "Plucky..." Shirley tried to warn, but it was too late. "We'll go," Plucky announced. "Great I'll have my chopper pick you up!" With that Monty marched off. "I hope you have a plan," Shirley warned. "Sister, have I ever! Let's get packed. We're going to Jurassick Island!" [TO BE CONTINUED...] PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/19/93 2:02 AM TV TOPIC: CARTOONS TIME: 06/19 1:42 AM TO: ALL FRd, "I can see why I don't fly much...uggghh!" "I got this helicopter from Coppala. It was a steal!" The helicopter rocketed toward the lush tropical paradise that was Jurassick Island. "Like what's on this like island, Max." "The biggest money making project of my life. I've invested millions! Ha! But it'll be worth it. I'll be rich." "But you already are rich," Plucky said. "What, you're going to bring up problems in the plot now, this is only the third installment! Besides, you can NEVER be too rich." The helicopter came to rest on a helipad. They stepped out and a jeep was waiting. "Hey, this jeep looks like strangly familiar. Didn't I see this jeep on an old episode of Jonny Quest." "It's an exact reproduction! I spared no expense to bring a toony feeling to the island." There was a rumbling in the Earth. "What's that noise," Plucky said. A hole opened up in the ground and a blue rabbit popped out. "Buster Bunny here!" He was followed by another bunny. "And where Buster goes Babs Bunny can't be far behind!" And together they chimed in: "No relation." "What are you rabbits doing here!" Monty shouted. "We're here to move the plot along," Babs said. "No, we're here to keep an eye on you Max! We know you're up to no good!" "Actually I'm here because Mr. Underground Transportation here dragged me out of bed and..." "Rope it in, Babs. Say Monty what is this island thing all about anyway." "Hop in bunnies," Monty said pointing at the jeep. "No reason you shouldn't see my greatest acheivement, too!" "Wait," Plucky shouted. He ran back to the helicopter. He removed a leather satchel and clutched it to his chest. "Almost forgot my luggage," he said. Shirley eyed the satchel, but didn't give it another thought. Plucky had kept the bag close to him since the boarded the helicopter. They boarded the jeep and moved through a large wooden PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/19/93 2:02 AM gate. Across the gate was printed the words: "Jurassick Toon Park". "Jurassick TOON Park," Plucky said. "I guess Disneyland was already taken." ~~~~~~~~~~ "What is this place," Buster said. "You'll see," Monty said. The lush green forest began to clear away. They were suddenly surrounded by strange flaura. Shirley reached her hand out of the window and picked a flower. It was a gray flower with large petals. In the middle was a smiling face. There were flowers everywhere, smiling, singing, and waving back and forth. "These flowers shouldn't be here!" Shirley declared. "They haven't had toon flowers like this since the 1930's! Even like the trees are like toons they don't make anymore! Like, what is this place er sum junk." "Stop the jeep!" Plucky shouted. The jeep screeched to a hault. Plucky stood and pointed into the clearing. "LOOK!"

Plucky knew all about Gertie. Heck anyone who knew anything about animation knew Gertie. The dinosaur had starred in one of the very first animated cartoons ever created. "But that's impossible," Plucky said remember the extensive work he and Shirley had been doing on the history of animation. "That cartoon was made in 1912! That's 80 years ago!" Still, logical or not, Gertie was still there. Standing as high as a five story building. It was a marvel. The toons jumped from the jeep. "How did you do this," Buster asked Max. "I've found a way to bring back the great cartoon characters from the past. Toons that haven't been seen in decades. Even some toons that have never been seen before!" "I know this is a dumb question," Babs said. "Like that's ever stopped her before," Plucky chimed in. "But why is he so big?" "That's simple," Max explained. "He's a MOVIE toon. Us TV toons weren't made for the big screen. Movie toons really were BIGGER in their day. You think he's big, you should see how big the D-Rex is." Plucky's eyes bulged. "D-Rex! You've got a D-Rex!" At which point Plucky fainted dead away. Shirley caught him before he hit the ground. "Remember when it was the girls who fainted," she said and sighed. "I've brought back the classic toons! And they live here for all to see...for a small admissions fee, of course." Max stepped to the edge of the hill. "Welcome, to Jurassic Toon Park!" The hill overlooked a valley. In it they could see two tones, hues, characters that hadn't been seen in decades dancing around and frolicing in the valley. Most of them were huge big screen toons standing as high as office buildings some as small as TV toons. PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/22/93 0:30 AM They boarded the jeep and moved on to the visitors center. "But Max," Buster said trying to rationalize this rebirth, "those toons died out years ago. It's IMPOSSIBLE for them to be here. Their cels were destroyed. There aren't even any character sheets anymore. For a toon that's as good as being dead. They CAN'T be here!" The statement was logical dispite the fact that he had seen the toons with his own eyes. "Everything will be explained." As they approaced a concrete bunker, laced with barbed wire and electrical fenced. They couldn't help but notice the sign: WARNING! DANGER! BEWARE! THIS MEAN YOU! And below that, the words: BONG CAGE. Buster grabbed Monty by the shirt and shook him. "BONGS!" he shouted. "You made BONGS! They're the most violent and dangerous toons ever created! Are you insane!"

Buster released Max. "We created three Bongs before we found out they were far too dangerous. Most of the toons are too dangerous because of their huge size." d to the concession stands and gift shops. Hot dogs; $4. Hambergers, $6. "Jurassick Toon Park" T-shirts, mugs, keychains, posters, post cards, D-Rex dolls, Bong drinking straws. Any and everything, all with the distinctive Jurassick Toon Park logo. "I'll make a fortune on the T-Shirt sales alone!" "But that still doesn't explain how you did all this," Buster insisted. "How did you bring back the classic toons without so much as a single cel?" "Come this way." He lead them to what was essentially a ride. At the front was a movie screen with seats facing it. "This will explain everything," Monty said. "START THE RASAFRACKIN FILM!" An image of Monty filled the screen. "Welcome to Jurassic Toon Park, where the Classic Toons come to life! and where you can own an actually Jurassic Toon T-shirt... available in the lobby for only $29.95! As you know the only way to bring a cartoon character to life is from the original cels and drawings from which the toons were created. Most of these were destroyed before their true value was known. So how did we get them back?" "Here, one of our many knowledgeable scientists..." Calamity Coyote appeared on the screen, wearing goggles, gloves, running shoes, and little else. He was holding up an animated cel. "...has a cel from a cartoon called "Prehistoric Porky" made in the 1940's. What isn't well known is that cels were expensive in those days, so it was common practive to actually wash them to remove the old image and then a new image was painted over them. This was extensively done during WWII to save on material. Many great cartoons and PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/22/93 0:58 AM cels were destroyed forever...or where they!" "What our scientists have done was to carefully remove the new painting on the cel to reveal what was left of the old cel beneath." Calamity produced a scrubbing brush, a can of Acme cleanser and began scowering the old cel. "When shown under a light the old image is still drawn on the plasic cel. It's just a faint outline, but if you look closely you can see remnants of the original paint which was used to give these toons life again. The original colors!" "You've been cloning toons!" Plucky said. "That's right! And most of them are so old the copyrights ran out years ago. I can make as many toons as I want and not have to pay a penny!" Buster was appalled. "You have to realize how dangerous this is! You can't clone a whole toon from bits of old paint and faint sketches! Anything could happen!"

"Hi, I'm Mr. Paint Splotch!" An animated blob appeared on the screen. "And I'm here to tell you about how we make cartoons from lots of pretty colors." "What is this guy for?" Plucky asked. "He's to fill in all the details they didn't have time for from the book," Babs whispered. "We have lots of toons here in Jurassick Toon Park. Most of them are two-tones but a lot of them are k at the facilities where they restored the toons back to life. They were led into a giant room filled with computer terminals. "We've used extensive computer aided designs to restore the original toons," Max explained. "With only a few drawings and colors to make a near perfect match, they're fed into the computers and a complete living and breathing toon is reborn." "For this we've had to bring in specialists from all aspects of toon making. From old animators to computer specials. And here's the head of the project..." The group gasped as the chair turned to reveal Donald Duck sitting at the main computer console. "Hello everybody!" "What did he say?" Plucky whispered to Shirl. "Sounded like 'Go bl*w somebody', but I can't be sure. Who can understand that stupid Disney duck anyway!" On the computer screen was displayed an advanced version of the Disney Animation Studio program. Donald was trying to reconstruct Bambi. "As you can see, we've got classic Warner Bros toons, Hannah-Barbarra toons, even Disney toons all brough back to life. If you want to see them all you'll have to take the grand tour." "I thought this was the grand tour," Buster said looking around. "This, Ha! No, we've got specially designed jeeps that PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/23/93 3:43 AM take you to all the areas of the island. You see some of the areas are fenced in because of the dangerous size of the enormous theatrical sized toons!" "It's not dangerous is it?" Babs asked. "Dangerous!" Max said with a laugh. "Heck no, you'll all be completely, perfectly and unquestionably safe!" "Oh yeah," Plucky said. "Then why is this story rated PG-13 if we're all going to be SO safe." "I'm getting mondo bad vibes about this tour thing," Shirley said. "I know SOMETHING'S going to happen to us. Maybe we shouldn't go." "What," Babs said, "and ruin the plot!" "Let's get it over with," Buster said. He was more concerned with reporting back to Bugs at Acme Loo about the atrocities Max was commiting here. "Let the tour begin!"

"Are we ready to start the tour!" "All ready boss," Donald Duck shouted! And then he whispered to himself, "More ready than you'll even know, you pathetic little Tiny Toon." Donald picked up the thermos, it was the same Duck Tales thermos the man had given him in Mexico. That man was at this moment on the view screen in front of Donald. Through his headset, Donald could hear the man talking. "Get all the cels you can, Donald. And put them into that thermos where they'll be safe. Do you have a plan to keep the security devices busy?" "I sure do, Mr. Eisner. Piece of cake." Donald turned off the comunication program and removed his headset. "If it's ondeed, the security system would be no problem at all. Plucky kicked at the ground as they boarded the two remote controlled jeeps that would take them to see the different exhibits. "Stupid Smurfs! They're everywhere!" Babs and Buster would ride in the lead Jeep. Plucky and Shirl in the second. The Jeeps were completely computer controlled. All they had to do was to sit back and enjoy the ride. "Must you bring that stupid bag," Shirley said, pointing to the satchel Plucky had been carrying around like his whole life was inside it. "It keeps like jabbing me." Plucky pulledthe satchel closer. "Where I go, this goes!" Buster bounced around in the lead jeep. "Say where do you put the quarter in to get these things started." "Just sit back and enjoy the ride," the automated car instructed. It was the voice of John Kassir. "Well, I guess Monty had to save on money somewhere to hire that hack!" Buster said. The tour began. "On your left you'll see the Bong cages. While three bongs were created, they were deemed too PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/24/93 2:58 AM dangerous to let loose on the park." The jeeps approached a large gate designed to look just like the gate to Warner Bros Studio...with one exception. The Warner gate wasn't charged with 10,000 volts! "If these toons are so harmless," Babsy said, "why have the electric fences." "Good point." The saw giant movie toons from the 60's. Singing trees and flowers lines the roads. All safely behind the electric fences. Ahead lay the biggest attraction of all. The D-Rex. "On you're right is the D-Rex paddock. Because of his size the D-Rex is kept in by an electric fence." "I've been looking forward to this since we got here," Plucky said. "We're finally going to see a full-sized, honest to Chuck Jones, Daffisaurus Rex!" Meanwhile Donald Duck's program continued to count down.

And John Kassir's voice droned on, "This is the might D-Rex! When the Daffisaurus Rex, call this by his emense size, was first retrieved from the original artwork from 'Daffy and the Dinosaur' it was discovered the only cel available--> was a close-up shot, which is why he's so huge. The Daffisaurus Rex stands as tall as a three story building, with a beak weighing almost 300 pounds!" "All right," Monty said from the control booth. "We're going to try to make the D-Rex show itself." Donald Duck's program continued to count down. 48..47..46 On the other side of the electric fence a door in the ground opened up and a platform began to raise up. "Gee," Babsy said, "What do you use to attract a duck? Crackers?" As the platform raised, they saw that it was piled full of money and gold coins. "The fools," Plucky said. "They know nothing about ducks. The D-Rex is a hunter! You can't just hand him money, where's the satisfaction in that. Daffy doesn't appreciate money unless he can steal it or at least swindle someone out of it!" As they watched, the hen the power died the security devices all went dead. The doors unlocked and he opened them withouth trouble. For all intents and purposes, Jurassick Island was dead. He moved to where the cels were kept. Carefully folding them he placed them into the specially prepared Duck Tales Thermos. With these cels, Disney could also bring back the great toon stars. A sequel to Snow White would make millions! And the return of Bambi would outsell even Aladdin! "Now to get off the island," he whispered to himself. "The electic fences are off and the power to the jeeps is dead! We're trapped here!" Buster observed. "Is this a good time to scream," Babsy asked. "Uh, yeah, I'd say it is." "Oh, good. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/26/93 2:13 AM "Look," Shirley shouted as she slid her trembling arm around Plucky, "here he comes!" From the bushes appeared the massive D-Rex. There was very little comparison to the Daffy of today. For one thing, todays Daffy wasn't 3 stories tall! His body was large in the middle and his features were far more duck-like. He was also shorter than the current Daffy who stood perfectly errect. But the strangest part of all were his dark gray beak and feet. This Daffisaurus Rex was a two-tone! The D-Rex saw the money. "Woo-hooo!" It screamed. "I'm rich! I'm socially secure." The little bills and coins fell through his enormous fingers. It began hopping around, each time it landed was like a minor earth quake. Then, almost by accident it's hand fell on the electic fence. But there was no electic charge. The fences were dead. "Hmmm," the D-Rex pondered. "The power's must be off. Me thinks the plot thickens!"

"Uh, Buster," Babs said, her eyes opened as wide as soccer balls. "Is it just me, or is the D-Rex tearing down that electical fence." "Uh, no. It's now your imagination. That's what he's doing." "Should I scream again." "Please don't," Buster said in a calm voice that hid his sheer panic. "I'm still deaf in one ear from the last screem." In the second jeep Shirley was clutching Plucky even tighter. "Is he dangerous? I mean it is Daffy, right? Just like Professor Daffy at the Looniversity." "Well Professor Daffy wasn't as big AS the Looniversity. And while you might trip over his webbed feet, they wouldn't crush you like a grape. So, yeah, I'd say he may be a tinsy-weensie bit dangerous." Shirley grabbed Plucky even tighter, while Plucky's grip was concentrated on the leather sachel. Why did he have to bring IT with him. His life was worth nothing, but what was in that bag was the most important possession he had ever owned. The D-Rex tore the electical fence to schreds. For his enormous size it was easy, little more than a toy with the power turned off. The Daffisaurus was free. "Woo-hoo! That was e and Shirl screamed. "We have to do something," Babs pleaded. "We can't. The D-Rex would kill us both, without even knowing it. To him we're just Tiny Toon Tinker Toys!" The D-Rex looked down. "Oops, better call tripple-A." He picked up the car and turned it over. Shirley screamed as the giant eye peared into the window. She'd be having nightmares about giant gray duck bills for the rest of her life! The door flew open and Plucky and Shirley fell out! They PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/26/93 3:10 AM got to their feet and started running. "They're safe if they can make a run for it," Buster said. "The D-Rex doesn't really want to hurt them. And he's got ABSOLUTELY no reason whatsoever to follow them." Or so it seemed. In his haste to get to safety, Plucky accidently tripped and the satchel fell out of his hand. His prized posession fell out of the bag and landed on the ground. "Oh no!" Buster screamed in pure terror! "Plucky's been carrying around the Emmy we won a few weeks ago in that bag. If Daffy see's it they're done for!" But it was already too late. The D-Rex's head turned and caught sight of the glistening statuette. And in his own eyes he mistakenly saw the one thing that absolutely no duck could resist." "IT'S AN OSCAR!" The D-Rex shouted and charged forward.

Hey, the D-Rex might be as tall as a three story building, but Plucky would fight him tooth and nail for the Emmy! As big as the D-Rex was, Plucly STILL beleived his own greed instincts were bigger. Buster and Babs hopped out of their jeep. "They'll be crushed!" Babs shouted. "Plucky'll do almost anything to keep that Emmy safe. I wouldn't worry too much." Plucky and Shirley disappeared over an embankment. The D-Rex took a massive jump OVER the embankment and followed. The three of them disappeared out of sight. "Now what do we do," Babs asked. "Half the cast just ran off into the forrest." "Well," Buster said, raiseing a hand to his chin. "We have to get back to the main pavilion, find Max, and figure out just what happened." "Well, with the D-Rex gone, at least we're safe." But not for long. Through the dense foliage appeared seven wolves! Each as tall as a building and each from a different version of either "The Three Little Pigs" or "Little Red Riding Hood". Those cartoons had been done so many times EVERY studio made copies of it. And the D-Rex wasn't the only toon released when the fences were shut down. "Hmm," one of the wolves said, "I feel like rabbit tonight. Anybody hungry?" The all nodded. And then, in classic cartoon form the began rubbing their hands and salavating. In their eyes, the reflections of Buster and Babs changed to cooked images laying on a plate. Babs: "Wolves." Buster and Babs bolted for the safety of the Pavilion. In another area of the Park even more fiendish plots were running afoul for a certain fowl. Donald Duck was trying to make good his escape in one of the Jurassick Toon Park jeeps when the jeep slid off the road and landed in a PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/27/93 3:27 AM mud puddle which had hopelessly trapped him. "Oh Great!" He shouted inaudibly. Donald got out of the jeep and tried to hook a tow line to one of the massive trees to pull the jeep clear. Just then, Plucky and Shirley came running by him. "Excuse us," Shirley said, running past. "Out of the way," Plucky shouted, "real stars coming through!" Donald watched them run past. "Stupid Tiny Toons!" He quacked. "Say, what are they running from." He looked in the opposite direction just in time to see the giant Daffisaurus Rex, in hot pursuit, come crashing through the trees and an image of a giant gray foot coming down on him! The foot landed hard, and Donald was crushed to death in an instant with only one inaudible "Quauckcu!" White feathers flew everywhere. "Ewww..." The Daffisaurus said, wiping what was left of Donald off the bottom of his foot. On the ground lay the Duck Tales Thermos.

Monty shouted. "The security systems are all down! The doors won't lock. And...and even the expresso machine doesn't work." Suddenly the door swung open. Standing there, panting with exhaustion were Buster and Babs. Their fur was ruffled and matted with twigs and branches. "Uh-oh," Monty whispered, turning and trying to walk away. "Hold it right there, Maximillion!" Buster shouted. "You tell me what's going on right now!" "Well it's like this..." "And don't leave anything out," Babs reminded him. "We've just been chased by a pack of wolves the size of the Sears towers, and Plucky and Shirl are STILL being chased by a three story tall Daffy Duck with delusions of grandure!" Monty tried to explain how Donald Duck had sabotaged the systems, how there was no control over anything in the Park, and how giant toons were running wild everywhere. But the worst part was that there was no way to undo what Donald Duck had done. The computer systems were so congested with Donald's security systems that the only person who could hope to fix it was Donald Duck and Donald Duck alone. What they didn't know was that Donald was now just a stain on the bottom of the D-Rex's massive foot and a pile of white feathers. "We have to get the systems back on line, get the fences up and contact Acme Acres! It's our only hope." Buster was right. The needed help from the outside world. They needed a chopper to get them off of the island and the needed to find Plucky and Shirl. "Say," Babsy said, looking down at the computers. "If this is a UNIX system then maybe I can fix the computers. I know all about Macs and UNIX." Buster looked up ae computers. Then when we bring them back on line the systems should reboot and erase all the damage PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/27/93 3:51 AM Donald has done." "Won't work," Max said, "we already thought of that." Buster snapped his fingers. "Wait a second. You DID say that these were IBM's right?" Max nodded. "Well, there's always one way to handle any problem when you're dealing with an IBM." "Go ahead," Babsy said, already guessing what he had in mind. "Try it." "This better work," Monty warned, "or we're all terminated toons!" "Cross your fingers." Buster brought his hands to the keyboard. "This had better work." And then, in a bold and gutsy move, Buster took the only option open to them. He simultaneously pressed CTRL-ALT-DEL. And it worked! Well, it sorta worked. The hard part was yet to come!

"But more importantly my Emmy is safe." Shirley wasn't as confident about their safety. "Should we be out in the open like this. The Daffisaurus must still be looking for us. And I have a like feeling that something's going to happen." "What could happen out here? Look Shirl, stop worrying. We're only about a mile from the Pavilion. We'll just join up with Buster and Babs and get off this screwy island." "Oh no," Shirley said. "I'm beginning to sense something." "The D-Rex!" Plucky said in panic, protectively clutching the satchel with his beloved Emmy. "No, something else." And then from out of the distance they heard an ancient call. A call that hadn't been heard in years. "Hiiiii-Hooooooo!" The call came. And it was moving their way. "Look," Shirley shouted. "It's the Seven Dwarfs!" "Quick," Plucky said, pulling her to the safely of a fallen tree that lay in the open. "Let's get down and watch where it's safe." "Get crucial, Plucky. The seven dwarfs aren't dangerous!" "Well, they are when they're as tall as apartment buildings. And those tools they're carrying look pretty dangerous to me." Behind the savety of the fallen log, they got a better chance to study the giant dwarves. Max must have cloned them along with the other characters from the various studios. But it was amazing to see them for REAL. And not on the screen. "Look," Plucky said with amazement. "See how they move in a pack. In single file. Disney was right! They do move in herds!" "Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to work we go!" They sang in unison. It was an amazing sight to see. Seven giant dwarves marching off to work. Just like Disney had invisioned. Then through the trees appeared the giant D-Rex! Without realizing it he trampled on one of the dwarves! SPLAT! The rest of the dwarves scattered. "I've got to stop doing thPlucky took Shirley's hand. "Stay low, we're getting out of here before he see's us."

"Uh, right?" "Well not exactly." "You're supposed to say, 'Yes, Babs.' So what's wrong now?" "Well the computer's up but everything else is still down. Someone's got to go to the supply shed and turn ALL the curcuit breakers back on." "How come?" Buster reached into his pocket and pulled out a copy of "Jurassick Duck" the novel. "Well, according to this it's just a plot device to put one of the toons into incredible danger and keep the story going." "You're going to put yourself in danger for us?" Babs asked. "Nope, you are." "Little ole me!" Babs said pointing to herself. "Geeze, this is the last time I play the Laura Dern part!" "It's real simple, you put on this headset and I'll talk you through it. 'Kay?" Babsy put on the headset and spun around. When she stopped she was dressed like Madonna. "Like a toonster, trapped in a very bad plot. Like a too-oh-oonster." "Rope it in, Babs, you're slowing down the plot." "Okay, Mr. Stay Here Where It's Safe. How come I go and you stay?" "Because as soon as the power comes back on I've got to start up the computers, get a phone line to the mainland, and get the choppers going. Remember Miss Macintosh, I'm the IBM user here." "Oh yeah, well, John Kassir wouldn't let me go it alone!" "DON'T SAY THAT NAME!" Babsy left the safety of the pavilion and ventured out into the open. It was a crazy place. Smurfs running everywhere. There was even an old Speedy Gonzales with a big gold tooth, the way he had appeared in his original cartoon, running around with a trail of dust behind him. Strange sounds filled the air. Toon sounds. She even imagined, though it couldn't be possible, that she heard someone singing "Hi-Ho!". There was the shed at the end of the path. No more than a couple of hundred feet away. "This should be a piece of PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/28/93 0:06 AM cake," she told Buster over the headset. "Be careful," Buster said. "Be careful of what?" "Plot twists, this is supposed to be a thriller you know." "What plot twists?" Babs said as she walked toward the bunker. Then she suddenly stopped and turned to her left. "Buster?" She said into the headset microphone. "Yeah, Babs?" Buster replied. "Would you consided the fact that the barbed wire on the Bong cages has been ripped totally down as a...plot twist." "Oh sure, if Donald was stupid enough to allow the Bongs to escape, that would be a heck of a plot twist." "Uh, well, that's exactly what he did." "Babsy?" ALL DATE: 06/29 FROM: VNJP97B DAVID HEBERT TIME: 3:32 AM Jurassick Duck--Part XIV ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Babs, hopped her way down the path. This was the last time she was playing the heroine. Too much running. Running from the hungry wolves and now running from 3 Bongs! As she ran she could hear the Bongs. They were up in the trees! But she didn't dare look up. One wrong step and she was as good as DEAD! This was no cartoon. There would be no stunt double, and since Bongs were prone to senseless violence they would kill her! This was for real! Babs breathed a sigh of relief as he made it through the door to the supply shed. "Now what," she asked, looking down the flight of stairs that lead to a darkened tunnel. "Were are the curcuit breakers." "Look up and tell me what you see?" Buster said. "Well, there are some black pipes. Which could hold cable! Do I follow those?" Buster sighed. "What else do you see?" "Um, you mean the red arrows that say THIS WAY TO THE CURCUIT BREAKERS?" "I think you'd be better off following those, don't you think." "Hey, Mr. Safe and Sound, this isn't easy you know. And if a disembodied hand falls on me I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE!" Babs moved deeper into the tunnels. Her only link to the outside world the headset which she was using to talk to Buster. "Say, Buster, do you think I can call Harriet on this thing? I'm dying to tell her about this crazy island." "One thing at a time, Barbara Anne." "DON'T CALL ME THAT! Or I'll tune this radio to Rap Music!" "NO, NO! I'm sorry, Babsy. Are you there yet?" "Yeah, I found the curcuit breakers. Now what do I do." "Turn them on." "Like I needed help to figure that out." PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/29 3:40 AM In the control room the systems began to come back on line. Buster was once again in control of Jurassick Island. "Great," Monty said, "my investment is safe! Oh, and you guys, too." "We're not out of this yet, Maximillion. Plucky and Shirl are still lost on this little island of yours. Babs is out there by herself with three crazed Bongs." Buster picked up the telephone. "Darn I can't get a line through to the main land. It must be another complex system malfuntion that I don't know how to handle." "No," Max said, "You have to dial 9 first to get an outside line." "Oh." Buster placed a call to Acme Looniversity. He quickly explained all that had gone on, about the mess Montana Max had made of it all, and the dire trouble his friends were in. "What can I do to help you," Bugs said. "I need you to download some information from the Tiny Toon files in the school computer." Buster turned to Max. "Max, are you still set up to CREATE toons?" "Sure, but it takes countless hours to make a toon." "But what if you already had complete cels downloaded into the computer?" "Then it would only take a few minutes." "HELP!" They heard Babs scream through the radio. "THE BONGS ARE HERE!"

You heard Babs scream for help! For all we know the Bongs might have killed her already!" Babs wasn't dead yet! She ran down the corridor as fast as she could. The sound of the Bong's hoofs seemed right on her heels. If she could just make it through the door. Close it and trap him inside, that would be one less Bong to deal with. Luck--well having TWO rabbits feet handy didn't hurt either--was on her side. She made it to the door with only an instant to spare. Now to get back to the Pavilion, get back to Buster and get off this crazy island! It wasn't to be. The Bongs had already seen her. Babs ran down the path. But before she could make it a Bong landed right in her path. Before her stood the most violent toon Hannah-Barbara had ever created. It wasn't actually a real toon, like she was, but merely a duel personality of another toon. The original toon was a white horse. A keeper of justice in the wild west. But it went through a change that altered it's personality deeply. When that same toon, known as the loveable Quickdraw McGraw doned a black cape, a black mask, a Zorro-like hat, and held a guitar in his hand he changed into the unstopable killing machine: El Kabong! Unlike the well developed El Kabong of the cartoons, these Bongs were made only from single cels. They were not created with the same instincts of a FULL character. Their only instint was to "kabong" toons with their guitars. No punches would be pulled, no director would call "Cut", just bashed brains everywhere. "Now hoooold on there, little lady!" the Bong called in it's characterist drawl. The guitar raised higher in the air. "Ima aimin' to take you into custody." Babs' eyes filled with horror! The path was about to be stained with Babsy-brains! "So what's going on here?" Plucky said waking up behind PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/30/93 2:28 AM the Bong with Shriley not far behind. "Oh," the Bong said, "trying to sneek up on me will ya!" He turned and brought the guitar down on Plucky's head. KKKAAA-BOOONNNGGG!!!! The guitar uttered a musical clammor that brought fear into the hear of every toon! "Ouch," Plucky said, "whattcha trying to do kill me!" Babs ran past the Bong. She grabbed Plucky's hand and Shirley's hand and they ran toward the Pavilion. "It's a good thing Plucky didn't use a stunt duck in the Anvil Chorus," Babs observed, "that blow would have KILLED any ordinary toon." "Yes," Shirley agreed, "like no toon has a harder head than a duck!" "Would somebody answer that phone? The ringing is driving me crazy." Another Bong joined the first and they followed the three helpless toons toward the Pavilion. [TO BE CONT.] PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/30/93 2:59 AM TV TOPIC: CARTOONS TO: SUBJECT: TINY-JURASSICK DUCK DATE: 06/30/1993 Jurassick Duck--Part XVI ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Buster had his hands around Monty's throat. "This is all your fault!" The sound of Babs, Plucky, Shriley screaming through Babs' microphone filled the air. "I just wanted to make a theme park!" "I'll give you a theme park...MURDER LAND!" Just then they heard a dinging sound. They both stoped and looked "But is there time!" Monty shouted. "Ka-bong!" one of the Bongs shouted as he brought down the guitar again. KKKAAAABBBBOONNNGGG!!!! filled the air. But his aim was off. He missed the tiny toons by just inches. Babs, Plucky, and Shirl ran into the door of the pavillion. They were surrounded by all the displays. Giant Bugs Bunny statues, Mickey Mouse images, expensively priced Jurassick Toon Park souveniers, poster, and key chains. "We made it!" Babs cried. "We're finally safe!" "Like I'm still getting MONDO negitory vibes that are stressing out my aura to the max." "You and your silly karma," Plucky said. "I could have taken those stupid Bongs on single handedly." "How's your head," Babs asked. Plucky rubbed his head. "Well, not bad considering. A more hits from those Hannah-Barbarians and I would have been lunchmeat!" "Like guys..." Shirley said tapping Plucky on the shoulder. "Not now, Shirl, can't you see we're talking." "Like this Pavilion is still being built, right." "Duh," Plucky said in a distictly condescending duckish tone. "This place isn't ready to be opened for weeks." "What's your point, Shirl," Babs said. "Is something the matter. "Only two things," Shirley said. "One, this place isn't finished, right. So there are still holes in the walls. And two, uh like two of those mondo negatory Bongs like just like walked through one of those holes in the wall." "Ahh!!!" Babs screamed. Plastic tarpolins were hung over the holes in the walls. They parted and the two Bongs PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 06/30/93 2:59 AM strolled into the main hall of the Pavilion. Babs, Plucky, and Shirl were trapped. "Geeze, where does it say in the script that the good guys get hopelessly trapped!" Plucky reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out a script. "See here, scene 16: BABS, SHIRLEY, AND PLUCKY ARE HOPELESSLY TRAPPED! See, it does pay to go to rehersals." "Well we better get running or this'll be our last curtain call." The three tiny toons tried to run, but the Bongs swung from ropes hanging from the scaffolding. Cornering them on either side. Trapping them. "Now hoooold on there, you outlaws. It's time to pay justice a call!" The two bongs raised their guitars, ready to KILL Babs, Plucky, and Shirl. All the toons could do was close their eyes and wait for the end! All hope was lost! Just then, the wall of the pavillion exploded!

Plaster and dust flew everywhere until there was a gaping hole in the wall. And standing in the massive hole was a giant Tyrannosaurus Rex! It was easily three times as tall as the Bongs! The massive jaws of the T-Rex grabbed the guitar from one of the Bongs hands and threw the guitar across the room where it shatted against a giant Mickey Mouse statuette. The T-Rex stepped into the pavillion. And from the back of the T-Rex long blue ears appeared. Buster was riding the T-Rex! "I do "I downloaded Rover's cels from the Acme Computer and used Monty's machine to make another Rover. The only way to fight a toon, is with a toon!" "Yeah," Plucky said, scratching his head. "But as I recall from that episode--which I had a VERY small part in-- Rover was supposed to be a vegitarian." "He is," Buster laughted, "but they didn't know that!" Rover lowered his head. "Hop on toons, the choppers are ready to take us off this crazy island." Buster reached into his shirt pocket, pulled out a dog biscuit the size of a baseball bat and tossed it to Rover. "Come on, boy! Let's all go home!" THAT'S ALL, FOLKS! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jurassick Duck --a story by-- Daffy "Dumas" Duck
