CN Block Party #34 On Sale June 27 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Jetbaby · 06-22-2007, 07:35 AM

Hi all:

Next Wedesday, the new issue of Cartoon Network Block Party goes on sale, featuring a tale of Foster-fueld fun! Here's the solicitation from DC Comics:

"It's a race against time to find the Three Legged Race Monster before it finds the Bean Scouts! Plus, watch what happens when Bloo enters a pie-eating contest!"

I'll bet hilarity ensues.

Yes I have this one on order...let's hope the comic store I went with hasn't forgotten about me after all this time.

Got my six copies today (again, if anyone wants one let me know). It's called "Fair Game" and it was funny until Cheese showed up for no reason at all and was IMHO distinctly un-funny. Oh well.

One of the best parts was when Wilt offered to win a frog for Bloo at a basketball game on the midway and...

this happened.

Poor Wilt. But lol his face.

May we see the full comic somehow?

Sparky · 07-02-2007, 04:18 PM

If I get time, but no promises. You're welcome for the preview, anyways.

I'd rather get a copy of the issue with Imaginary Frankie if you have any left. If not, not to worry, I'm off to Amazon... or some such place...

OMG! Wilt MISSED a basket!! That has GOT to be a first! How's that Toby Keith song go, "I ain't as good as I once was...?" Age'll do that to ya, Wilt-Man.

Thanks for sharing that, Sparky!

I guess this is a spoiler for the story:

Spoiler Below

It's a rigged carnival game. Wilt never actually misses, the balls are purposely too big for the baskets, which he discovers eventually (although he doesn't realise it was done on purpose, he thinks it was an honest mistake on the part of the guy who runs the game - who gives him a frog to shut him up when he offers to fix the "faulty" baskets).

Ah! That makes more sense, and isn't surprising at all, really.
Spoiler Below

Knowing Wilt and his subtle sarcasm, though, it also would not be surprising if he KNEW that the game was really rigged, but instead of coming right out and making that accusation, and really creating a big stink, he has his own, more "diplomatic" way of dealing with the situation and getting what he was after in the first place, a stuffed frog.

Haven't read the issue, so I can't agree or disagree with your assessment. However, if you'll allow me to play devil's advocate a moment, has Cheese ever shown up in situations in the series for a reason?
