The myth
Many other issues were published during the following weeks. Every week both Gumball and Darwin checked the feedbacks on Elmore Plus and they were all positive.
"Despite how much weirder is getting our comic book is still warmly received!" said the blue cat.
"Aren't you happy Darwin?"
Darwin gave no answer. His eyes were unfocused on the screen.
"Darwin?" screamed the clue cat.
"Uhm… yes I'm happy!" said apathetically.
"What's wrong? You don't look so happy!"
"No, no, I'm happy…..!" said the goldfish but his answer didn't convince the blue cat at all.
Something was wrong with him but the blue cat wasn't able to figure out.
Their comic book reached the 19th issue when James declared, by his Elmore Plus account, to take a break.
Before going on vacation, he gave a little preview about the number twenty; it would be titled "The mystery of the hood" where Nancy Emils would show to the entire world her aspect under her hood.
"Wow, did you read that?" said Gumball excited.
"Yes!" said the goldfish.
"Nancy will finally take off her hood, can't you realize that? In comic books she never takes off her hood even under the shower!" said the blue cat.
"Can you imagine her without that?" asked to his brother.
"I don't know! I always realized that her hood was a part of her body, if she takes it off she will probably reveal her organs!"
"Yuck! You're so gross!"
"What about you? How do you image Nancy without her hood?"
"Well…. I don't know either but, to be fair, an animal is the first thing that comes in my mind!"
In addition, Darwin thought the same thing. Both Gumball and Darwin imagined Nancy as an animal at the first place.
One evening, Gumball was watching some viral videos in the internet when he received a notification for his account. On Elmore Plus someone uploaded a curious image. It was a pic of a beautiful anthropomorphic cat. Author's name was unknown; in fact, it was signed as "Anonymous". It was a cute female cat with a cute smile; she was wearing a nice gym suit. Gumball had no idea about cat's identity but, looking carefully, the pic's name was "Nancy uncapped".
"What is it?" said Darwin entering in the room. He was brushing his teeth.
"Wow, that cat is Nancy? She's beautiful!" said watching the screen.
"Excellent work bro!" said proud of his brother.
"I didn't draw her!"
"What? That's not yours?" said Darwin confused.
"It was made by a guy named "Anonymous"! I wonder who is!"
"It must be Lâne! Who else?"
"But Lâne never signs as "Anonymous"!"
"Or maybe is someone who decided to leak Nancy real form from the studios!"
It wasn't an easy explanation. Gumball and Darwin looked at the feedbacks, they were extremely positive.
"Is that Nancy? Cool!" wrote Masabi.
"Now I know why Billy loves her!" wrote Rachel.
"That's finally explains her cat ears and tails!" wrote Tobias.
"I just can't wait for the new issue!" wrote Banana Joe.
"After many awkward-looking characters, finally a cute one!" wrote a user named Gabe.
Gumball and Darwin never seen their fans so excited.
"All we have to do is to wait James's return!" said Darwin.
They turned out the PC and they went to sleep.
