When I asked you if you wanted to play "Karate Chopper 5,"

I didn't realize you were gonna get dressed up.

- I'm wearing my gi for practice.

While you're kung fu-ing with your thumbs,

I'm getting ready

for a real-life karate tournament next week.

- Huh. I'd say I hope you win,

but I've seen enough karate movies to know

that it's not about the glory,

it's about becoming one with the mind and soul.

- Forget that. I want the trophy.

- Yeah.

- I'm the only girl in my karate studio,

so I really want to impress the judges

and show them how tough girls can be.

- Okay, let's see what you got.

Show me your best kick.

- Yah!

Are you okay? - Yep.

But maybe your second-best kick would've been fine.

- Ooh, that's good stuff.

Could you kick Stuart really hard again,

but slower this time?

I want to draw it for my graphic novel.

- You're making a graphic novel? - Yup.

It's about a superhero named Green Girl.

She's an alien who came to Earth

to protect the environment using karate.

- This is great.

- I'm so touched that I inspired you to write this.

- What? Green Girl's not you.

- Seriously?

Her shirt says "Ivy Cares," and her Earthling name is Ivy.

- Fine, it's you.

- I bet we could get someone

to turn this into a real graphic novel.

If it's a hit, it might even make you rich and famous.

- I just drew it for fun.

But rich and famous sounds way better!

- I could send it to comic book companies

and see if anyone wants to make it.

- Great, now, who wants to help me

practice my double spin kicks?

- Huh.

I-I'd love to, but I have homework to do.

- And I'm scared of getting hurt, too.

- That's not what I said.

- Mm, I love waffles.

- Are there even waffles

underneath all that whipped cream?

- I think so.

- [smartphone chimes]

- No way!

Guys, I just got a text from Mingo Comics.

They love the Green Girl stuff I sent

and want to meet us this afternoon.

- Wow! Or as Green Girl might say, wow!

They speak English on her alien planet.

- It's so cool that you got that meeting.

But wait, I can't go.

I have karate this afternoon.

Have to practice for the tournament.

- Oh, that's too bad.

Guess I'll just have to cheer myself up

with more whipped cream.

And you're right.

There aren't any waffles under here.

- Leaf, if the publisher does decide to buy Green Girl,

could we donate some of the profits to Ivy Cares?

I want to use it to encourage girls to take karate.

- Oh, could we also donate some of the profits to me?

I want to use the money to encourage myself

to buy cool stuff...for me. - Sure.

None of this would be happening if it wasn't for you guys.

Now we just have to sell it.

- Morning, kids. - You all look chipper.

Huh, probably had something to do with

this spray can full of sugar.

- No, Dad, it's because Stuart

got us a meeting for that graphic novel.

It's today at Mingo Comics.

- Mingo Comics? - Are you kidding?

- Check it out.

- Hey hey, this looks legit.

I was a big fan of Mingo Comics when I was a kid.

- Yeah, they had the greatest superhero ever--

- Dr. Twist - --General Granite.

- Dr. What? - Who?

- General Granite had skin made out of stone

and the world's strongest-- aah!

--stone-cold punch.

He was way tougher than Dr. Twist.

- Psh! Puh-lease!

Nobody can beat Dr. Twist.

He had the power of super stretch-ability.

Stretch-ah!

- I would take you guys to your big meeting,

but I gotta get Ivy to her karate class.

Clark, can you take them for me?

- Yeah, let me just check my schedule.

Yep, all clear. Mingo Comics, here we come.

- Are you gonna tell him

your meeting's not until this afternoon?

- Ha, no way! Now I can have his waffles, too.

- [phone ringing]

- Whoa, look at this place. - Awesome.

- [gasps] It's Dr. Twist!

He's even more stretch-tastic than I can remember.

Hey, why is he behind General Granite?

That is not right!

- Hey, welcome to Mingo Comics!

Name's Ansel.

Can I get you guys anything to drink?

Liquid protein bar? Ramen water?

- Hard pass from me, Ansel.

- We're just really excited to tell you all about Green Girl.

- Then let's do this, dudeskis! - Good luck, kids.

I'll be here if you need an adult for anything.

Take that, General Granite!

[high-pitched voice] Aah, don't hurt me!

Psh, psh!

- Okay, the meeting room is right this way.

- Whoa, your meeting room is a foam pit?

- Uh, no. That would be cray-diculous.

Our meeting room is the amazing asteroid pit!

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

- I can fly!

- Yeah!

So, Ansel, if you buy Green Girl,

we think it'll be a huge hit.

It's got everything--aliens, karate, aliens doing karate.

- "Noice"!

- It also has a tough girl hero based on my sister Ivy,

who's the most amazing girl in the world.

Don't tell her I said that.

- Double "noice"!

- Ivy's big on saving the environment,

so the story has a great Earth-friendly message.

- So much "noice"!

A graphic novel straight from the mind of a real kid?

That could be a sweet marketing angle.

- So, Ansel, what do you say?

Because we do have other offers,

and we are prepared to walk away.

- I thought this was our only meeting.

- I'm bluffing. - Oh.

Don't worry, he's just bluffing.

- My frienderinis...

I want to buy it!

- BOTH: [cheering]

- Let's go. - Whoop!

And here is my offer.
