Chapter 1
it's an exciting day, as precious cargo enters the country.
Airport international arrivals.
Hurry up loading that art!
And makes its way toward the city. Come sea the whale room.]]
Under guard of an elite team. Yawn! Light's green!
The van waves through the streets.
Warehouse? There, house U hide'm self storage.
Until it reaches its final destination. Art Museum.]]
But when it's time to remove the contents. The art it's gone! Impossible! But. How? Who can solve this mystery? This is a job for.]]
Detective Cole! Get it up, doctor Weevil! You're finished! Crash! Super Sugar Ray.
You think you're a step ahead of me eh cabbage?
Well, lettuce see what do you think of this!
Now, that's what I call a salad wrap!]]
With the city's best detective my hostage, the mayor has no choice but to pay my ransom, or I'll turn this town into dust! Well, not dust. Sugar. Because I like to eat sugar.
You may be a Weevil. But you don't have to be evil! Listen to me. To you? The only leafy green I listen to is cold, hard cash! No one can stop me! Not even the.]]
Investigators spew! Brash! The general inspector is trying to contact us! You forgot to set your V. E. S. T. To vibrate, mango! Sorry!]]
Hey, down in front! Pardon me. Excuse us. Move your head! Now playing Cole's law the movie what was the hold up? Sorry, Sir. We were, uh, going through a tunnel.]]
Agents! You're urgently needed at the art City Museum! The Art Museum? What is it? It's a big building where people can look at art. I know what a museum is, mango. I mean what's the emergency! An armored car was transporting priceless works of art to the museum for an upcoming exhibit. But when it arrived, the paintings were nowhere to be seen! Oh, no! And art is meant to be seen!]]
Among these historical works was the bona Lisa by Leodoggo da Vinky! da Vinky! Mango, brash. Your mission is to track down those missing paintings and catch whoever's responsible! Good luck, agents! We'll get right on it, general inspector.]]
Right after we watch the rest of Cole's law the movie. Now playing Cole's law the movie. What? No, mango! We have a case to solve! Yeah, well so does detective Cole! Glare! Ugh fine! But if anyone spoils the ending for me, I'm going to be very grumpy!]]
Chapter 2
Art Museum Dang, it's closed. Guess we'll just have to go see a movie instead. Let's find the staff entrance.]]
Attention! My name is brash, and this is my partner, mango. We're investigators. Do you have credentials! If you mean badges, yes.]]
Agents of S. U. I. T. Sounds fancy pants. I'm Savannah, the museum preparator. I prepare the art for the exhibits. Ow. Who was in the armored car when the art disappeared? That would be T and P. T and P as in toilet paper? Oh T and P as in tortoise and porpoise! Tell us what happened, T and P. Nothing unusual at first!]]
We picked the art up at the airport this morning and made sure it was safe and secure and drove right back to the museum. Did you make any stops along the way? None! You know, except for red lights and stop signs.]]
But when we opened her up the van was completely empty. Hmm. This clearly wasn't the work of a mere cat burglar. Meerkat? Can't explain it any better than we could the last time this happened. How long ago was that? Yesterday!]]
Almost every piece of art for the gala vanished out of the van on Nets way to the museum. Gala? The big red carpet shindig later this week. Is there any more art expected to arrive for this gala? My boss, the museum curator, would know. You can find him inside. Thanks, Savannah.]]
Thanks, T. Thanks, P. I'm P. He's t. But aren't you T for tortoise and P for Porpoise. This just seems confusing on porpoise.]]
Chapter 3
for all the art to vanish like that, it must have been a magician! No, wait a ghost! The armored car is haunted! It was a polterheist! What, no, mango. I was going to say an inside job. Inside job. But why can't it be an outside job for once? The weather so nice.]]
Someone got in and out of that armored car while it was moving without the security guards even noticing? I say there's a chance one or both of them are lying. There's no lion. But there's  is a porpoise, a turtle, and a cheetah, oh my. Oh this must be the whale room I've heard so much about.]]
Nope! I'm just changing a light bulb. G, this place is a real zoo. Zoo?]]
This place isn't crowded. We're the only ones here! No, it's a zoo because of all the ah, forget it. Excuse me! This room is off limits to the public. We are not public, we're private. We're investigators. Really? Well, I suppose you do look the part.]]
You must be here about the missing paintings! I am the museum curator and registrar, thelonius snoot. Snoot? That's a funny name. Anyway, my names mango. Your staff told us all of that art was for an upcoming gala. It's our grandest event of the year. I had the famous paintings by the most important artists in history flown in from all over the world for it!
Leodoggo da vinky! Vincent von gopher! Frida jello! Pablo pigasso! Edvard munchies! Jackson mollusk! Mary cassettedeck! Bob Ross! And many more!]]
But they're all gone! The only artwork for the gala that has arrived is a piece by panksy! Panksy?
The former possum Street artist? Didn't he have a YouToob channel where he pulled pranks on people? Yeah, he had a catchphrase and everything! AAAAh! You got Panksy'd!]]
He also put a hat on the Washington Monument. You got Panksy'd!]] And on the great pyramid. You got Panksy'd!]] And on the Eiffel Tower. You got Panksy'd!]] Yes, yes, those were all during his hat period. Panksy is the current darling of the Fine Arts world, and the museum is honored to display his latest installation piece. Ah. A sheet. Very avant-garde.]]
Ahem Panksy's piece is under the sheet. Ooh, let me see! No! Ow! This art is not for the eyes of sewer dwellers! Hey, I resemble that remark! Even I have not yet gazed upon it! It is only to be unveiled at the gala. If there even is a gala. What do you mean, if there's a gala?]]
Panksy's piece alone isn't enough for a whole gala. Unless some artistic genius emerges from obscurity with a masterpiece I can display alongside Panksy's, the event can't go on! And then the museum will be closed permanently! Without the gala, the City Council will have just the excuse they need to defund the arts! De fun the arts? Why? Art is so much fun! Indeed. But there will be no more school field trips. No more smiling faces of the children laughing at the bootycEllis. And, most tragically, no more fancy galas.]]
So, this gala is a fundraiser? Yes, but as they say, it takes money to make money. And fancy galas don't come cheap! I already paid for catering, invitations, all that razzle dazzle. If the gala is cancelled now, the museum will be all out of dough! Dough? Please don't say dough. That's a whole back story thing there you don't wanna know about. Um. Is he going to be alright?]]
Sure. He, uh, Jess needs to splash a little water on his face. No worries, Mr. snoot! We're on the case! Wha? Whew thanks, mango. So if the paintings aren't recovered, the gala will be cancelled and the museum will be closed for good. Which makes me wonder, were the paintings stolen because they're valuable. Or is it the thieves true goal to ruin the museum's reputation?]]
Mango. I have an idea how to flush out whoever's responsible for the missing paintings. We need to get to S u i t headquarters! Well, Speaking of flesh, we can flush ourselves into the sewer to get there! I'll be right behind. you down the Hatch.]]
Investigators, in pipes underground! It's the fastest way to get across town! Keep right, mango there's a fork up ahead fork? Hood flush a fork down a toilet?]]
But not when mango forgets to turn. oh, that kind of fork. Whoops. It's a hard lesson he's about to learn. Danger extreme pressure well, this won't be good..]]
Below the city in secret headquarters all for one and alligator! What's that running! Mango? Slam gush splat don't just lie there. We've got a mystery to solve. Groan.]]
Chapter 4 what we need to do, mango, is set a trap for whoever tries to steal the next piece of art that's heading to the museum for the gala. But, brash, the curator said there isn't anymore art on the way. Unless we become artistic geniuses whose artwork can be added to the exhibit. Exactamundo! We create a masterpiece or two, easy peasy, get invited to display them at the gala, and then catch the thief when they try to steal our art at it's being transported in the armored car. Sounds simple enough!]]
What about the tortoise and porpoise's recollection of events? Do you think their story holds water? Possibly. But at this stage we won't rule anyone out as suspects. Maybe snoot's concern over canceling the gala was all just an act. Hmm. I don't know what he'd have to gain by the museum being shut down. Anyway, we can't let any of the museum staff in on our plan. Otherwise, if the heist was an inside job, they're not gonna fall for our trap.]]
For this to work, brash, we all need foolproof undercover disguises. Let's head to apparel research and manufacturing section. We don't just need new disguises, mango. We need new skills we're headed to arts! Artistic refinement of talent for spies.]]
C orb? What are you doing here? I'm the art teacher, of course! Nobody's better suited than eye AM to help people achieve their artistic vision. Perfect! You can teach us to be artistic geniuses! Ideally before the next chapter. OK. Why don't you each get a canvas and some paints, put on a beret, and I'll see what I can do. Computerized ocular remote Butler.]]
So many colors. It's like an all you can art buffet! Oop! er, sorry! I'll, uh, mop that up later. I, um, meant to do that.]]
OK, become an artist. How hard can it be? Don't say things like that. You risk the wrath of the author. Do you want his almighty pencil to erase your face? I dare not mock the author. Even if I personally prefer his earlier work. Not again!]]
Run away! Run away! What do you think,C-Orb? It's very accurate. Literal. Realistic. But not something one might call eye-catching. It doesn't say anything. ]]
Don't just paint what you see. You must look with your inner eye. That's easy for you to say. You're nothing but eye. Snort you said butt  eye. Oh! Now this speaks to me. It's so daring. So raw. So full of emotion! A true masterpiece! You really think so?]]
Are you kidding me? It looks like he just threw up on the canvas. You're saying that painting is better than mine? Well, better is a matter of opinion. But, yes. And I should know. I have an eye for talent. Now we just need to convince the curator of my artistic genius so he'll want my painting in the gala.]]
What are you doing? I'm calling my agent. But, we are agents. Your secret agents, not talent agents. This just needs mango.]]
This is for an undercover mission, mango! You can't put your name on it. An artist should always sign their work, brash. Hopefully it's small enough no one will notice. We also need everyone at the museum to believe you are not the investigator they met earlier. Time to see sven septapus. Hello, Susan? Have I found a talent for you. No, no, not another cartoonist a real artist.]]
Chapter 5 apparel research and manufacturing. Sven is taking longer than usual. Your disguise must be some very complicated spy technology. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Ah,sven. Sorry for the wait, Gators. Due to the unique requirements for mangoes disguise, instead of a vest. I've come up with]]
A smock. It stands for supplementing mangoes originality, creativity, and knowledge. Supplementing? Yeah, it means extra. It doesn't look extra. Try it on mango. What does this button do?]]
He's blue and has a goatee how does it work sven. Tiny mirrors and prosthetics. It's movie magic. But this is a comic book. Fine, it's comic book magic.]]
I feel like a case isn't simply black and white but more akin to the classic technique of CHIAROSCURO, in which an artist, like myself, uses strong contrasts between light and dark through subtle gradations to convey form and dimension. Wow! Brash. I finally understand color theory. Composition. THREe point perspective. He's completely unrecognizable. And paint by numbers. Well, almost unrecognizable.]]
The best part is, the itself functions like any other gadget, so it can collapse into mango's standard vest along with the rest of the usual gear. Great work, sven. Now to introduce the Fine Arts world to this international artist extraordinaire. Compact. Come on mango. Can we get lunch first? I'm a starving artist.]]
And that's why you don't look a gift horse in the mouth period now for the arts and vulture report. Sorry. The arts and culture report. Unto you, vohnda. No worries, Cici. Happens all the time.]]
A previously unknown artist genius has just emerged in the art world. So unknown that I didn't even ask his name before booking this exclusive remote interview. Greetings my name is you're undercover macaroni what? Macaroni and cheese?]]
That's right? My name is macaroni ancheese. Pretend you're in another country so that if the orator wants your art in the gala the museum will send the armored car to pick it up at the airport. Here in lamp rug uh light switch land.]]
I'm not familiar with lamperugalightswitchland. Is it a small country? Ohh, it's tiny. Like the size of this room. Can you tell us a bit about what inspired your latest painting? This piece was inspired by fruit that grows here in. I call it Rhapsody in fruit. It is marvelous. I can almost taste the colors]]
I'd love to give you that opportunity. If you happen to know of any upcoming museum galas in your fine city say no more. Casually bring up the gala. Yes please say no more. No one really wants to listen to people talk about art that much. It's all inspiration this, and inspiration that, and blah blah blah. What's that eraser doing?]]
Chapter 6
Gators. Susan says the curator wants macaroni's Rhapsody in fruit in the museum exhibit. Just in time. The gallows tomorrow night. The armored car will be at the airport first thing in the morning to pick up your art once you arrive from after a layover in Frankfurt. I do like frankfurters, but you can't get me a direct flight? Mango, you're not actually flying anywhere. Doesn't exist. Ohh right, now let's see. Operation art trap become artistic geniuses get invited to gala catch burglar.]]
Perfect. We're on the last step to solve this case and we're not even halfway through the book. Maybe this time there'll be room for how to draw section. What are you doing, mango? I'm calibrating this tracking device to detect where my painting is. If we catch the thief in the act of stealing this painting, we might still not reveal where they've hidden the other paintings they've stolen., good point.]]
But if we let them think  they've gotten away with the painting, we can then track them to their hideout with this. That's using your noodle, macaroni. C'mon macaroni you've got a plane to pretend to catch. I know this is the fastest way to travel, but how do we flush my painting down the toilet? We don't have time to figure this out. Let's just skip to us already at the airport.]]
Here we are. That was easy. Avoided the lines and everything. We've got time to check out the duty free store. Well, I would hope it's doody free. It would be unsanitary otherwise. Wait a minute. This isn't the airport. This is thebear port. That's the problem with skipping ahead. You might end up in the wrong place.]]
It's a good thing we showed up four hours early, like the TSA recommends for international flights. The actual airport international arrivals made it! Time for you to get into character, macaroni. I'll meet you outside after the guards have picked up my painting.]]
Soon airport international arrivals I mean I am macaroni ancheese you must be the security guards come to take my paintings to the museum. Yup.]]
Any trouble getting through customs? Costume, this isn't a costume. I always look like this. No reason to be nervous. I'm sure the art won't disappear on the way to the museum this time. That's very reassuring. G, you think when handing over precious art there'd be some paperwork.]]
Would have been polite to offer of them may arrive, at least. Over here, macaroni. Mangoroni mean. The trap is set, brash. Now to see who falls for it. Let me just turn off these art layers and get back into investigator mode!]] Down here mango. We can track your painting from below in the sewer. Great idea. That way no one will see us following the armored car. Hurry, before it gets too far. Beep paint ship tracker.]]
