Lo-Fat Mayhem (E02)
By a swimming pool, Monkeybone overhears a woman bragging to her friends that she can "never be too thin or too annoying," so he tempts a fat boy tied to the lifeguard's tower with sweets and pastries, causing him to run so fast that he sends the tower toppling down, catapulting the woman from her chair into an ice cream cart. She loves the taste of the ice cream so much that she eats the whole lot, gaining weight to immobility in an instant.
