It starts on April 1st with a practical joke Herculeah pulls on Meat. Herculeah tells Meat that she found a dead body on Oak Street but it turns out to be just a squirrel body. The small April Fools joke will not prepare them for what is about to happen. Meat has signed up for a comedy class at Funny Bonz the comedy club. On the first day of classes Meat goes to the bathroom and discovers a dead body in one of the stalls. When the body disappears, Meat and Herculeah go off and try to find clues on how to solve the mystery. This story includes a part when Herculeah finds an old camera that she had someone tell her to purchase at a resale shop. She later discovers that there is still some film inside undeveloped. Shockingly the pictures are of Meat and his estranged father who he hasn’t seen in years! |
