The Story

Act I

When the Professor has Fry, Leela and Bender dig a hole in the floor of the basement of the Planet Express building to bury a device that he used to accidently blow up one of Saturn's moons, the crew discover a time capsule from the late 1970s. Fry uses the contents for his own use, but the rest of the crew dismiss it as junk and think the 20th century was boring. Fry finds an ad for sea monkeys in the back of an old comic and buys some from Sal to prove the 20th century was cool. However the sea monkeys are dead and they fail to impress the rest of the Planet Express crew so he disposes of them in toxic waste.

Act II

Dr. Zoidberg recovers the sea monkeys from the waste showing that they're alive and they've grown. By the next morning, they grow larger than the building and wreak havoc on New New York. The crew set out to destroy them in the Planet Express ship but fail. They eject out of the ship but one catches Fry. As it is about to eat him, the others call Sal saying they're not satisfied and he quickly solves the problem by killing the sea monkeys and Fry is saved. Planet Express is charged with the clean up of the sea monkey corpses, so instead they have the bodies cooked and Zoidberg recieves a feast.

Additional Info

Trivia

  • The following characters are seen fleeing or watching the sea monkey rampage:
  • The title is a play on the phrase "Monkey See, Monkey Do"
  • The comic also is one of some that has a refrence to The Simpsons. (See Time Bender Trillogy Part 2)
  • A special edition of this comic was made available prior to it's release at Comic Con. The only difference was the colours and logos of the cover.

Quotes

  • Fry: Woo! Who needs ethics? Not us!
    Bender: Never had 'em, never will!
  • Fry: Does anybody have an eight-track cassette player and Beta VCR I can borrow?
  • Fry & Bender: *Evil laughter*
    Zoidberg: Ho, ho, ho... I'm laughing with friends!
  • Leela: Well, I'll keep an eye on you just in case! Remember when you tried to sell your kidneys for salsa last week?
    Bender: He shoulda done it! I was offering below market value!
  • Ronnie: Here you go, sir! I found your Sea Monkeys underneath an unopened box labeled "Action Comics #1- 100 Count". It's yours for only $10.95 if you're interest-
    Fry: No thanks!
  • Bender: I don't know anything about guns! Who do I look like, Charlton Heston's head?
  • Fry: You don't want me! I'm turf, not surf!


Outside References

  • The letter enclosed with the time capsule ends with "P.S., LaRouche for President in '80", a reference to perennial third-party presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche.
  • Lum (from the anime series Urusei Yatsura) appears as a pedestrian in one panel.
  • In the splash page of giant Sea Monkeys rampaging through New New York, human-sized versions of Godzilla and King Kong can be seen fleeing from the destruction.
  • One of the Sea Monkeys climbs an Empire State Building-like skyscraper and is shot at by the Planet Express ship, parodying "King Kong".

Fast Forward

  • Fry makes a Homer Simpson head out of "Fun-Doh" a duplicate of "Play-Doh", this is later seen again in The Luck of the Fryrish as "Doh-Doh"

Special Features

  • Advertisement for the Slug-o-vac, device created by the Professor to remove Brain Slugs, distributed by Good News Innovations. Deliveries are not available for the Island of Canada or Omicron Persei 9.
