Arthur approached his friends Binky Barnes and Buster Baxter before school in the hallway, having another one of their pointless arguments.
"I'm telling you, there is no way Hulk Hogan could beat Bionic Bunny!" Buster insisted.
"Yes he could," retorted Binky. "Bionic Bunny isn't even real."
"You take that back..." Buster demanded, producing a flick-knife from his pocket. "Take it back!"
"Hey guys!" Arthur interrupted, before lowering his voice. "Have I got something to show you!" He removed the magazine from under his jumper, careful to look out for any teachers.
"What is that?" Binky asked.
"Take a look..." Arthur flipped over the pages to his friend's shock.
"But those women are naked!" Buster said. "Arthur, where in the world did you get this?"
"I found it in my Dad's closet. Neat, huh?"
"Wow!" exclaimed Binky. "The only thing I found in my Dad's closet were a whole lot of little plastic bags with white powder in them..."
"What's all the commotion?" The Brain asked.
"Shhh..." Buster whispered. "Check out what Arthur found!"
"Wow!" The Brained gasped. "They're beautiful!"
Before too long, a small crowd of boys had gathered around Arthur's majestic magazine, all of them commenting on the sunning content in hushed voices.
"Gee whiz, check out the pair on her!"
"Wow, bigger than Brain's mom's!"
"Heh heh..." Brained laughed uneasily. "...what?"
"Gross..." George said, scrunching up his nose.
"What's all this?" a loud voice asked.
Arthur hid the magazine behind is back in time to see Francine approaching the group. "Oh, hey Francine, we were all just talking about...about Brain's mom!"
All the boys nodded in agreement—except the Brain.
"Well we can discuss Brain's smoking-hot mom later. Now we have History with the Rat, and I for one don't want to be late."
Reluctantly, they boys began walking towards their classroom.
"Hey Arthur," the Brain whispered. "Can I borrow your magazine at recess?"
"Hey, no fair! I want to look at it at recess!" Buster hissed.
"Sorry guys, I'm going to be looking through it at recess." Arthur said with a proud smile.
"Well, does your Dad have any others lying around?" Binky asked. "One I can have?"
"One for me too!" Buster added.
"And me!" said the Brain.
"Yuck. Count me out..." George said, hurrying away.
"No way!" Arthur protested. "Guy's, they're mine!"
"Come on, Arthur!" Buster pleaded. "I need more than that picture of Brain's mom at the beach!"
"What the hell does that mean?" demanded the Brain.
"Please! I'll give you my comic book money." said Binky.
Arthur turned to face the three of them. "You mean you guys would pay money for those magazines?"
They all nodded enthusiastically.
For the first time ever, Arthur smiled as he was entering Ratburn's History class. He knew he may have just stumbled upon a very good idea.
