Issue twelve begins with Wincy “hatching” a plan using the cycle of life to raise and train his own fly-destroying warriors to swat Incy, and Inventor Boy wants to help aspiring novelists come up with themes and conventions with his latest invention the “Story-Writer 6000”. Tracey Time ends up red faced after glitching back in time to learn Roman Numerals from…well, the Romans! Basil tries to teach Ernie basic greetings in French, but will he ever learn? In “Picture-it” we look at bullying and get a picture of what it is in all its various forms, possible reasons and some positive solutions to use in response to unkind attention. Detective Duke sleuths out an unusual way to force Mrs Moggins out of the tree she is stuck in and Carl the Constipated Tadpole outlines Prime, Square, and Cubed numbers to help “pass” the time. In Dan’s Body Battles the antibody soldiers in Flesh Base 2 learn the importance of proof-reading messages in order to get them right – even if it’s urgent. After another rough day at the end of some shocking conditions, Nurse Skuttlefish gets her pronouns and prepositions confused and it does not end well. In “Tales of Words” a sad tree spirit begs an enchantress to bless her with skeleton and muscles so that she can enjoy the fruits of the tree she is guardian to, and then the evil Lord Hackworth helps Count Clockface become mayor so he can rid Robo City of rules and laws, (let’s hope Timbot can hurry and save the day!). With old Clockwork Clive and Pickle-Nibbling Pete arguing that their own treasure is 8 times more valuable than the other, they didn’t even notice the Cactus Jacks pinchin’ all their loot! Issue twelve also contains posters about French Greetings and Romans Numerals.
