So here's the scoop... (and I should know!)

	Spelling Boy was torn to pieces by the wild dogs of Professor
Perhap and then eaten.  One of the dogs, having the taste for grey
matter, decided to eat his brain.  The dog (his name was "Chuck",
actually) dropped Spelling Boy's head (sans body at this point) off a
highway overpass, cracking the skull open.  The dog then run down to
the street below and slurped the brain out in one piece.

	Unfortunately, the poor pooch (now intoxicated by the effect
of the ingested cerebral tissue) didn't bother to find a proper dining
venue and thus never saw the '74 Chevy Impala coming.  Ooops!  *splat!*

	Anyway, the dog was taken to Vapid Veterinarian for autopsy,
since the hound was crossing its eyes in a *most* peculiar fashion.
Upon opening the dog's stomach, he found Spelling Boy's brain, still
intact (thanks to a protective gob of mucus).  So...

	H E   S A V E D   S P E L L I N G   B O Y ' S   B R A I N !

or at least that's how the original story went...

	HOWEVER, what *wasn't* told before was that VV took the brain
over to Neo-Nerologist, who figured that the brain could be saved.
With the aid of Mr. Green-Genes, they cloned a new body for spelling
boy out of the genetic material from a pubic hair that they found in
his toothbrush.

	So, this explains how we saw Spelling Boy return to action so
soon after his apparent demise.  Aren't flashback revelations a blast?
