Grabby reveals that in his comic collection he does not have Space Boy #150 of which there are no more copies, and he would pay a fortune if anyone gave it to him.

Act II
After a while they find Panucci's Pizza and amazingly, Fry finds his comic book in mint condition which was hidden in the men's room from his brother.
