The Bendy Straw Show

Carn-Evil

This story starts at the old Kettle Cottage. Three smiling flowers can be seen dancing next to the house's window. Elder Kettle's silhouette can be seen through the window.

Elder Kettle, a large living kettle, poured pancake mix into a grill, the batter made a sizzling noise before he flipped the ready pancakes and threw them behind him.

Cuphead was reading a comic book called "Adventure Comix".

Cuphead, as the name suggests, has a cup for a head with a red and white striped straw. He has large eyes with black pie-cut pupils and a small red nose.

Mugman, Cuphead's brother, has a mug for a head, but he has a blue and white striped straw. He has smaller, thinner eyes and a large blue nose.

They both wore black, long-sleeved shirts, yellow gloves, brown shoes, and shorts that matched their colors.

Cuphead used his left leg to kick the plate next to him, then he grabbed it and caught the pancakes Kettle threw before. Cuphead put away the comic he was reading and licked his lips seeing the pancakes.

Mugman raised his plate high, but he missed his pancakes, and they hit the wall before falling onto the floor. Mugman sighed sadly.

Cuphead was about to put syrup on his pancakes before he cut his stack in half, plate included, and gave one half of it to Mugman. Then he put syrup on his pancakes.

Mugman perked up when he saw the pancakes.

The cup gave his brother the syrup bottle, and the mug tried to put some on his pancakes, but the bottle was empty.

The mug, annoyed, saw Cuphead's pancakes completely covered in syrup.

Cuphead stabbed his pancakes with a fork and ate the whole thing in one gulp.

"Cuphead! Mugman!" Kettle said.

"Yes, Elder Kettle?" the boys said at the same time.

"Today, you two are in for a real treat!"

"Really?!" the boys asked with a mix of surprise and excitement.

"You get to... paint the fence!" Kettle said before he brought out two paint buckets.

Cuphead and Mugman's enthusiasm quickly faded, and they frowned.

---------------------------

Moments Later...

The brothers were outside painting the fence.

Cuphead groaned.

"Jeez... I guess we know what we're doing the rest of the day, huh?" Mugman said.

"Oh, banana oil!" Cuphead exclaimed. "Paint the fence, milk the goat, patch the roof...! It's the same old stuff every day! What we need is a little fun and adventure."

"If we could only speed things up, maybe we'd still have time to squeeze in a little fun and adventure at the end."

"Way ahead of you, pal."

Cuphead somehow got a cannon and poured paint into it. He lit the fuse, pointed the cannon to the fence, and covered his ears.

Mugman screamed and jumped out of the way.

Suddenly, Elder Kettle walked towards the fence.

"Hey, boys!" Kettle said as he opened the fence door. "How's that fen-"

The paint from the cannon exploded all over Elder Kettle and the fence. A stunned Kettle stood there covered in paint and the fence was destroyed.

A couple of minutes later, Cuphead and Mugman were walking on the dirt road.
