''{Mike and Matt Chapman are sitting in a room with a wooden wall, below a picture of Homestar.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{looks over at Matt}'' So here we are in the bonus section of the DVD, Matt.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Sounds great, Mike.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' We, uh, thought these, a couple of these segments might need a little explanation.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Boy, do they ever.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' This first segment is called ''Bubslegum Comics'' and it— well, we did this after the 2002 Halloween cartoon where—

''{On the bottom of the screen in yellow text appears: *That's just plain wrong. It was 2001.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' —Bubs got a Bazooka Joe type bubblegum comic.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' And he read the comics in the bubblegum comics.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' So for a brief period we thought that might become a recurring weekly update.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' We thought ''{chuckles}'' we thought that it might just happen. We didn't know if we would make it or not.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' We thought wrong. ''{laughs}'' But we did make a few of them, and we would like to share them with you.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yes.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Here they are.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{ridiculously slow and seductive}'' Yes.

''{Cut to a shot of Bubs standing in front of a yellow background with bubbles. Bubs throws the bubble gum up in the air, chews it up, blows a bubble and it pops. Cut to a pink bubble background with the words "Bubs' Dumb Bubblegum Comics". Comic strip appears.}''

<span id="comic-1"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Comic #1</span> ===

'''BUBS:''' I remember one time, I got this one, where in the first frame, there's this guy saying,—

''{The first panel appears with Gunderson on a speech bubble saying "Hey Gunderson!"}''

'''BUBS:''' —"Hey Gunderson!" And in the second frame, he said,—

''{The second panel appears with a bus coming down the street and an arm pointing saying, "Here comes the book mobile!"}''

'''BUBS:''' —"Here come the book mobile!" And it got me to thinking, I wish my life was that simple.

''{At the bottom of the comic appears: FORTUNE: SOME GUY YOU CAN'T SEE POINTED AT A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE}''

<span id="comic-2"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Comic #2</span> ===

''{another blank comic strip appears}''

'''BUBS:''' And then there was this one, where in the first frame, some guy's pointing at somebody in a trench coat—

''{first panel appears with a guy in a trench coat in the foreground and another person pointing at him saying, "Dennis?"}''

'''BUBS:''' —saying, "Dennis?" And in the next frame, he's telling his friend,—

''{second panel appears with the kids pointing behind him saying, "I just saw Dennis!" and his friend is right next to him}''

'''BUBS:''' —"I just saw Dennis!" I mean, he just saw Dennis!

''{text appears at the bottom of the comic saying: FORTUNE: DENNIS FRANZ IS WEARING A TRENCH COAT.}''

<span id="comic-3"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Comic #3</span> ===

''{another blank comic strip appears}''

'''BUBS:''' So then I got one where the Roustabout Kid says,—

''{first panel appears with the Roustabout kid standing with his arms straight out to his sides. In a thought bubble he says, "Great Times."}''

'''BUBS:''' —"Great Times." And then the refuse bin says,—

''{second panel appears with a trash can in the foreground saying, "I think I'll wait." as the Roustabout kid stands in the background.}''

'''BUBS:''' —"I think I'll wait." Man. This bubblegum is ''terrible!''

''{text appears at the bottom of the comic saying: FORTUNE: DON'T GO MESSIN' WITH A COUNTRY BOY.}''

<span id="comic-4"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Comic #4</span> ===

''{another blank comic strip appears}''

''{first panel appears with the hip hop kid peeking from the top of the dryer drying saying, "Let's do this..." ...with the Roustabout kid on the side.}''

'''BUBS:''' And so the hip-hop kid says, "Let's do this," and he tells Gunderson,—

''{second panel appears with the hip-hop kid and the Roustabout kid on top of the dryer saying, "We got you this washer." Gunderson is in the foreground holding a bottle of something looking back}''

'''BUBS:''' —"We got you this washer." But all's I'm thinking is,—

''{text appears at the bottom to the screen saying: FORTUNE: THAT'S A DRYER.}''

'''BUBS:''' —"That's a dryer!"

''{cut back to the room with Mike and Matt sitting in it. Both Mike and Matt looking at the screen and Matt with a very puzzled look. They both look at each other and then look back at the camera.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Huh! Ah, pubth, uh... whatever! ''{Matt puts his hand in the air}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{overlapping Matt}'' I don't ever want to ch— I don't ever want to chew gum again, Mom!

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}''
