and the occasional snack.

Is my bill really that big?

You don't think I look fat?

And loiterers... And leash-law violators.

Who am I kidding?

Nobody cares about that stuff.

They want real crime.

Nobody cares about that stuff!

They wanna see real crime!

With the supervillain Convention in florida,

There's no crime in town.

Supervillain convention?

I don't care about Any convention!

My career's over if darkwing Doesn't fight a supervillain soon!

Merriweather the cockroach is Bigger than darkwing right now.

St. Canard is more Interested in bugs than in...

Wait a second!

Supervillain.

Bug.

Ha ha ha ha!

Eureka!

If it's bugs people want,

They'll get bugs like They won't believe!

direct from his tour Of the continent,

the world-famous merriweather The cockroach mime!

I can't see a thing from here.

Shush. It's culture.

Ha ha ha ha!

Fear me, st. Canard!

I am the monarch of The insect kingdom.

I am the bug master!

I'm not very nice at all.

careful with the Coconuts, little buddy.

ow!

we interrupt pelican's island.

for this special Canard copy report.

It looked like they'd Get off the island!

we take you to the st. Canard center for the arts.

where the bug master has taken Merriweather the cockroach hostage.

I am the bug master.

That sounds like...

I've been watching tv,

and I'm sick of this Second-rate jerk darkwing duck!

Hey, hey! I'm a first-rate jerk!

darkwing, can you guess Which bug I'll take next?

Come on, launchpad.

There's something strange About this bug master.

Yeah. She's threatening a cockroach.

I call that strange.

But she...

Gos must be goin' Through a phase.

What is your response to Bug master's challenge?

Bianc, it's like I always say...

You've got to break some pennies

To save an omelet.

Come on, launchpad.

What makes you think the Bug master will strike here?

Elementary, my dear launchpad.

Bug master has a thing for bugs.

The museum is showing Its most precious bug,

The golden scarab Of quackankhamen.

Good thinking, d.W.

Besides, my supercrime-sensing Watch says so.

We're here in time.

Everything all right here?

As long as darkwing Duck is here,

No evildoer would dare...

[bug buzzes]

Would dare to... Yeowch!

That's a taste of My wasp's sting.

Makes you mad as a hornet.

Another pun-obsessed Supervillain.

Missed me, shoehorn-beak.

Not.

Suck gas, evildoer!

One false move and The mime gets it.

O.K. O.K.

Just put the cockroach down.

Ha! Not a chance!

I came here for the scarab,

And I'm going to get it!

Try some stink bug Gas, dronewing.

Peeyuu! That's worse than your Chicken feather pie, launchpad!

She's gone!

And so's the scarab!

O.K., fine.

I know this looks bad,

But everything is Completely under control.

completely under control.

Absolutely correct, darkwing.

Completely under my control!

You know, boys, I think I like this criminal stuff.

This scarab's worth twice A network anchor's salary.

As for that costumed buffoon,

He's nothing more than A trivial annoyance.

That's why I'm planning my Final report in the series...

The extermination Of darkwing duck!

Ha ha ha!

Nice shot of me. Good composition.

The only thing that Could make it better

Is if I caught the crook!

that was the scene at the st. Canard museum.

Doesn't something strike you Funny about bianca beakley?

Too much make-up.

Isn't it weird that She's never around

When the bug master appears?

How'd she know that crook Would strike at the museum?

She's your idol. Why don't you ask her, miss pinfeathers?

Yeah. Why don't I?

Uh, miss beakley, I'm gosalyn mallard

From the st. Canard elementary press.

I'm your biggest fan! You're totally cool!

That's lovely.

I'll call security.

They'll give you An 8 x 10 glossy.

[gasp] Hey! You're the bug master!

Holy cats! My idol's a crook!

Uh, well, I'm not a crook!

You saw my reports on Darkwing, right?

Fiendish jaywalkers?

He looked like a Complete goofball!

Yeah, so?

So I came up with this Plan to make him look good.

The next time we Fight, he'll win.

When crooks see that on tv,

They'll be scared of him again.

Then I'll return that stuff.

You're creating your own news

To boost your ratings?

Uh, well, yeah.

I can live with that.

As long as you're Helping darkwing.

Sure I am. And not even he knows it. Wanna help?

Me? Help bianca beakley? You bet!

Beautiful.

By correlating insect data

With all the data on st. Canard,

I can determine where Bug master will strike.

Are you sure this'll work?

Launchpad, this is science. Science always works.

I'll be over here Reading the funnies.

Heh heh. Don't strain yourself.

Ah, here we go.

Fact one... The zaslovian squat fly

Eats three times its weight.

So what?

Hey, d.W., look what I found!

Fact two... St. Canard makes an ideal holiday spot.

What is this?

How am I gonna track The bug master now?

Maybe this is where She'll strike.

It seems so to The untrained eye.

"Darkwing, meet me at midnight

"In the warehouse At 3rd and mcswain.

The bug master."

Sometimes the untrained Eye can be right.

Come on, launchpad.

Let's get dangerous.

Wonder what it costs to Have my eyes trained.

It always comes to This, launchpad...

You, me,

A supervillain craving My destruction,

And an abandoned warehouse.

I wish once it could Be a roller rink.

D.W., it's merriweather The cockroach!

D.W., he's miming "Danger"!

What does he know? He's a cockroach.

Psst. Darkwing! Over here!

What are you doing in that Costume, missy?

Ha ha ha. You've played into our hands,

You masked meathead. Now!

You fool!

You're no match for the Bug master and the grub!

Darkwing duck,

Prepare to meet your doom!

[gulp] Oh, yeah.

She's definitely Going through a phase.

Ha! I have the armor of a beetle And the webbing of a spider.

Pardon me, Little girl whom I don't know,

Just what are you doing?

Act evil. Make it good for the camera.

Ha ha ha!

O.K., darkwing,

You're goin' to the Big beehive in the sky.

Boys, take 'em to the beeswax!

At least gos looks cute In her grub costume.

Merriweather, Can you slip through those cuffs?

Yeah, a free cockroach Would be a major advantage.

Smile for the camera,

This is your final Special report.

After a dip in this Boiling beeswax,

You're gonna be nothing but An unusually ugly candle!

In case you get any Ideas of escaping,

I've still got my wasp's sting.

Now I recognize you! You're bianca beakley!

Good call, hawkeye, But you won't live to break this story.

Lower 'em in!

Gos... Little girl I've never met!

If you're angling for A bigger allowance,

This isn't the way!

When's his chance to escape?

Uh, at the last second. It's more impressive.

What did I do to Gosalyn to deserve this?

You grounded her until her Senior year of college.

You made her eat beets, Though she hates 'em.

Then another time...

I get the idea!

They're close. It's time to let darkwing win.

Trust me. I'm your idol, right?

I know what's best.

Yeah.

But just in case.

Yeow!

Gimme back my stinger,

You ungrateful brat!

I never realized that waxy Buildup could be serious!

These manacles have expanded Slightly from the heat.

I've got to use the secrets

Of ancient carpathian Bone dislocation.

I'd forgotten how painful ancient Carpathian bone dislocation was!

But... It's... Working!

I'll get you guys out of this!

Ooh!
