It is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion insects

alive at any one time.

But forget about them. This is about ME - Lloyd!

I'm a fly!

Oof!

Ugh. Ugh! That's it.

No more.

Turns out you can have too much of a good thing.

That was quite a feast.

Shall we head home, Lloyd?

And by home, I mean your home, obviously.

Oh. Too stuffed to move, Abacus.

We need to find a nice, quiet spot, have a light doze

and let the obscene amount of crumbs we just ate digest.

Unf!

Not again.

We'll never get this crumb home.

I am trying, Jim.

I just can't seem to get a good grip.

Maybe if you put Gummy down, Bob.

Put Gummy down?

Just for a bit.

This crumb will keep us fed for ages, but only if we get it home.

So let's leave Gummy while we do that and come back for him later.

Oh, leave Gummy?

Gummy can't look after himself.

I'd never forgive myself if something happened to him.

I can keep an eye on him.

Really? Thanks, Lloyd.

How about that, Bob?

Well, we'd only be a few minutes, I suppose.

I'll be right back, Gummy.

You behave yourself.

Take good care of him, Lloyd.

Don't leave him.

Don't worry.

We're not going anywhere any time soon.

Cheerio.

That was nice of you, Lloyd.

Well, I'm a nice fly.

Plus, it was hard to doze properly with their bickering.

Hi, son. Hi, Lloyd.

Enjoy the feast?

Yes, thank you.

Don't think I've seen Gummy without Bob before.

Everything OK?

We're looking after him while Bob helps Jim with a crumb.

Well, that's super.

I know Gummy means a lot to Bob.

I wish I had a friend like that to keep me company sometimes.

You look after him now.

That's what we're doing.

Yes. He's in very capable hands.

Bye! Now, where were we?

What if something happens to Gummy while we're asleep?

He's made of jelly. Where's he going to go?

Besides, we're not sleeping.

We're very lightly dozing.

It's very different.

Mi-mi-mi-mi-mi. Gummy!?

Lloyd.

Where's Gummy? Huh? Oh, hey, Bob.

Sorry. Must have dozed less lightly than intended.

It's OK. It's OK. Gummy's right...

Here? Not anymore.

Oh, no. We have to find him.

He won't have gotten far on foot.

He's not as fast as he used to be.

Everyone split up.

Wait, wait, wait. He's not gone anywhere on foot.

You suspect foul play?

Never gonna see Gummy again!

Don't worry, Bob. I will find Gummy for you.

Well, you did lose him.

Yes. Yes. Alright.

I said I'll find him. And I will help.

Like you helped lose him.

Erm...

Yes. Oh, good.

Find him, Lloyd.

Else, and I know I've said this before, but you are doomed!

Hmm. Hmm.

Yeah. Well, as you can see, Gummy is not here

but cannot have moved by himself.

It's a tough one, alright. I've got it, Abacus.

If Gummy didn't walk off on his own, then somebody must have taken him.

Oh, the aforementioned foul play.

Who would do such a thing?

Hi, you two. What a feast, eh?

Shh! I'm investigating.

Gummy's gone missing.

We're trying to find him. Oh, my.

Good luck with that.

Who was at the feast?

They are our prime suspects.

Oh, prime suspects.

Love the lingo.

Let's see. There was Dad.

Catastrophe Jim. And Bob.

And Polly, of course.

Of course.

We'll start with the most obvious suspect.

Your dad! Come on, we've got a Gummy-napper to find.

So you say you have no idea as to the whereabouts

of the gummy sweet known as Gummy?

Why, no.

I haven't seen him since I saw him with you earlier.

Only I seem to remember you being a little jealous

of Bob and Gummy's relationship.

Oh, is that Gummy?

I'd give anything to have a friend like that.

Anything! ANYTHING!

You wanted a friend like Gummy so much, you took him, didn't you?

Didn't you?

You're right. I did want a friend like Gummy.

So I found one. Meet Tony.

Why would I want Gummy when I've got him?

Hello.

Phew. Looks like my dad's in the clear, Lloyd.

OK, Ampersand.

Your story checks out. But stay out of trouble.

I don't want to have to come questioning you again.

No problem, Lloyd.

See you later, boys.

So who's next on the suspect list?

Let's see.

Polly. Polly! That's it.

Why didn't I see it before?

She was munching on something green, sticky and gummy earlier.

It all makes sense now.

You want to find Gummy?

Good luck with that.

What are you talking about, Lloyd?

Don't play innocent with me, Polly.

You can't fool me.

You were at the big feast.

And on your way home,

you practically waved Gummy's gummy green remains in our faces.

Gummy green gooseberry.

Pah!

A likely story.

Hmm.

Is there a problem? Ah! Aha!

Caught in the act. Aha.

It seems you're both in on it.

Add Molly to the list, Abacus.

Hm.

Hey, my gooseberry.

We'll see about that.

Mm. Hmm.

It's gooseberry. OK, you're in the clear.

Sorry I ate your gooseberry.

That was my last bit.

We appreciate your cooperation.

Abacus, who's left?

Only Catastrophe Jim.

But... Of course, an inside job.

He didn't seem too keen on Gummy.

In fact, he practically insisted we look after him.

That Gummy has been nothing but a pain in the thorax.

Leave him with Lloyd.

We'll take care of the crumb.

Then I'll take care of Gummy!

Me? Yes, you.

Maybe...

You fobbed Gummy off on two innocent children,

waited for them to fall asleep

and then accused them of a crime you committed.

Dastardly genius.

But that's not possible, Lloyd.

Jim hasn't left my side all day.

Yeah, that's right. We took the crumb home,

popped back here to see if we could dibs another

but the ants had already hoovered up the last of them

and then we came to see you.

And we've just been looking for poor Gummy ever since.

Well, that's exactly what...

Hang on. Did you say ants?

Yes.

They're not on our suspect list.

But they should be.

Who knows? I can't stay on top of things like that.

I'm the Queen.

Feel free to ask around, though.

Have you seen this Gummy?

Seen this Gummy?

Seen THIS Gummy?

Seen this Gummy?

Oi!

Seen this Gummy?

Seen this Gummy?

Seen this Gummy? Nope.

Seen this Gummy? No.

Seen this Gummy? Oh, sure. We picked that up.

Right. Where is he? Not here.

We had to drop it and scatter when Biggo showed up.

And where was that?

Riiiight here.

Doesn't look like he's here to me.

The trail has gone cold.

But he was here.

He was here, too.

And here!

How? He can't walk. He can't hop. He can't fly.

Can't do anything.

Hmm. But I can.

Aha!

I have found the culprit.

Biggo.

Biggo took Gummy!

Well... the underside of her foot did.

So how do we find Gummy now?

Simple. We follow the footprints.

Which one's he under? We'll check both.

Be quick.

If Biggo comes out of the shower before we're finished

then we're all doomed!

He's here.

Quick. Go and get the others.

Is Gummy OK?

Is he alive?

Erm, alive as he ever was.

But he's stuck.

Biggo's finished her shower.

Quick. Grab my legs and pull.

Ow!

Ohhh! I've missed you, too, Gummy.

Me old buddy.

Come here.

Well done, Detective. You done good.

Ah! What can I say?

You were lucky I was here to take the case.

Well, you were the one who lost him. Yes. Yes. OK.

But the important thing is, I found him again.

And by I, he means we.

Like when YOU lost him.

Well...

Yes, that's right.

We make a good team.

Lloyd, I need your help. I've lost Tony.

Hmm. Hmm.
