Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life Page #4

is all the way uptown.

What if my mom doesn't want me

going up there alone?

Then what?

I have to lie to her.

And then what if she finds out

that I lied?

And what if the other people

Have already moved into that

office?

Are you gonna sit there

what-iffing all day

When you can actually go out

into the world

And find the answers?

Look, I've got a bus map,

gloves, and a screwdriver.

Now I just need

the dumb flashlight and candy.

The candy?

To bribe

the security guard. Duh.

And what if that doesn't work?

Then I'll have to use

my feminine wiles.

Your wha?

Feminine wiles.

You don't have those.

Yeah, I do.

You're just blind.

You'll see tomorrow

with the security guard

If it comes to that.

Yes! I will see you

in the morning.

And be sure to dress

for success.

I don't think

I can go today.

Is it bad?

Define "bad. "

Crud.

How will my feminine wiles

work now?

Does your mom have

any, like, zit makeup?

How would I know?

Can I check?

Sure. Or we can just cancel

plan "f"?

Oh, hi.

Hi!

I'm Samantha.

I'm Rick.

I'm Lizzy.

I'm a delinquent.

We just moved into

the building. Oh, cool.

Just so you know,

we've got a meeting

On the upper west side

with lawyers.

We don't normally

dress like this

Or carry briefcases.

Say nothing, please.

Elaine?

Hey, blueberry.

Can I borrow

some makeup?

Sure.

Right under the sink.

Sweet.

Have a fun day.

Alright, well,

I have made a whole pile

Of peanut butter sandwiches,

And they are in the fridge

just waiting to be eaten.

Okay. Got it. Also, if

you're planning to go out,

Just make sure you bring

a set of keys with you.

I'm staying in.

I'm not going out.

Oh? Really?

Oh, oh, oh!

Almost forgot.

Look.

Look what

one of the publishers

Brought to the library

the other day.

It's the new planet

you've been talking about,

The one with the blue ice

and the curly clouds.

Looks like Neptune.

Really?

Huh. Not if you look at it

like this.

See?

Yeah.

I guess so, sort of.

Monkey, remember

in "the little prince"

When the little prince wanted

the man to draw him a sheep,

But the man wasn't very good

at drawing sheep,

So he Drew him a box,

and both of them knew

That the sheep

was inside the box.

It's what we believe

that's important.

Still looks

pretty neptunish.

Isn't it late?

Shouldn't you go?

Oh, my goodness.

You are right.

Alright, well...

A voil!

okay. Be good.

Don't do anything

I wouldn't do.

Bye, monkey.

Bye, blueberry!

Bye!

Thanks for the makeup!

Lizzy?

No more what-ifs.

Get on the bus.

Please make him stop.

Who? Garlic sandwich. Garlic

man. Definitely garlic!

Jeremy,

the rest of the world

Doesn't live on peanut butter
