Mr. Bug Goes to Town Page #3

Synopsis: In a vacant corner lot off Broadway (by about a yard) is a place called the Lowlands by the tiny community that lives there. Bugs and insects are neighbors and hang out at the Honey Shop of old Mr. Bumble the bee and his daughter Honey. Hoppity the grasshopper arrives to be with Honey, his sweetie. This bugs the crooked C. Bagley Beetle, so do his bunglers Smack the Mosquito and Swat the Fly. The Beetle wants Honey and the Lowlands for himself. But the Human Ones, with their littering and carelessness, pose a threat of destruction to every Lowland home of bug and beetle alike. Despite the doomsaying of Mr. Creeper, the snail, Hoppity finds hope of a new home behind the house of two Human Ones: Mary, who cares for a beautiful garden; and Dick, a struggling songwriter who puts his own hope on a Broadway hit to save his home.

Say, why this is terrible.

Why it's an outrage.

Why nobody's safe in their

Gee-wees, how long has this been going on?

Ever since that big fence has been down.

The fence is down.

The humans come through.

There's only one thing that we can do.

We're in a groove, we gotta' move.

No you smooving. We're doomed to

go and don't forget I told you so.

But jeepers Mr. Creepers we gotta' move.

Where?!

Where?

Hoppity, there isn't anywhere

'cept that garden up next to the big

place where the human ones live.

Well, what's the matter with that?

Not for me.

Me neither.

.

Me neither.

Me neither.

Well, all human ones aren't so bad.

I'm going up and look that place over.

Huh, it can't be much worse

than it is down here.

Oh, can't be any worse eh?

We'll fix that. Won't you boys.

Well Mr. Bumble, the garden ought

to be just over this wall.

Somewhere.

It's no use Hoppity.

You'll never get to that garden with

With a cripple old critter

with a gimpy wing like me

holding you back.

Mr. Bumble.

Gee-wees!

Isn't it beautiful?

Yeah, it's pretty all right but

it's awful close to the big house.

What about those human ones?

I don't think you gotta worry about them.

Anybody that'll keep a garden

like this can't be so bad.

At least I don't think so.

Hay, hay Mr. Bumble.

Look at this.

Just what the boss ordered.
