Chubby and Not Plot: ActI ActII ActIII

The narrators Chubby and Not should be keeping track of all the characters and story lines for you, but they seldom keep on task.  These pages recollect the entire timeline of events in the order they are told, not chronologically because that would be too hard.  The main plot of C&N is split in two, with half the comic focused on two boys, Malcolm and Ryan, and their real life escapades.  The other follows a demon called Miercoles Muertes and his adventures.  There are only two reference points between them, so it can't exactly be determined when each story line is taking place relative to the other.

 

Science Class- of Doom!
Malcolm meets Ryan, who is entirely wrapped up in talking about his love for a girl named Shatreen.  After Malcolm yells at Ryan to shut up, there is a flash and boom, and Malcolm disappears into the floor!  He falls through some sort of portal, where a creepy voice spouts something strange and sends him away again.  Along the way, he pops out of the portal in front of Miercoles Muertes.  Malcolm finally returns home, and after informing Ryan of what happened to him, decides to repress the experience. 
Enter Miercoles Muertes
The mysterious appearance of Malcolm intrigues Miercoles.  He decides to investigate and appears on Earth, making his presence known by scorching the surrounding area and population.  There he comes across another demon, Marojn.  Marojn remembers Miercoles, and believes that he is trying to take Earth for himself.  They battle, Miercoles is severely wounded but manages to kill Marojn before falling unconscious.
Othello
A flashback to Malcolm, performing as Iago in Othello. He threatens Mary, who plays his wife, Emilia, that he is going to kill her just like in the script.  When his cue arrives, Malcolm is knocked to the ground by Clive, whom Mary becomes infatuated with.  Malcolm gives a monologue on his envy of their relationship and vows to ruin it.  He is thrown out of his class and placed in a physics class.
Torein
Miercoles wakes to find that he is the makeshift home of another demon, named Torein.  Torein had been an extremely vicious killer years ago, and therefore, an associate of Miercoles'.  Torein explained that he grew weary of his destruction and ran off secretly to Earth to change himself with the aide of the planet's many religions.  He informs Miercoles that he doesn't know who teleported Malcolm to him.  Miercoles resolves to search Earth for the demon who did it, as there are many demons hidden on the planet.  He is also offended by Torein's attempt to deny his demon blood and the two part on bad terms.
Reading Adventure
Ryan becomes immersed in a "Choose your own adventure" book.  Can he make it through the night in a winter cabin-a haunted winter cabin?  Brought to you by Sugary Suga-Sugs Cereal.
Midnight Conversation
Miercoles tracks down a demon hoping he'll have some clues.  The demon is mute, but has a deadly acidic punch!  Battle ensues and Miercoles has to continue his search with still no leads.
Lesson in Love
Malcolm and Ryan are walking to class when they spot Shatreen.  this would be a perfect opportunity for Ryan to profess his love to her, but he backs out.  Ryan is terribly shy of all girls.  Malcolm tries to lend him some advice, but he's too much of an insensitive jerk to get a good word in to a girl.  Knowing these faults would prevent the two from reaching their goals, Malcolm enlists the aide of their friend, Rico.  What follows is a series of attempts to clean up the boys' acts, with a final test:  talking to a girl.  Rico brings in a girl named Emily with whom Malcolm and Ryan are eventually able to spout off a few decent sentences.  With this victory Ryan plans to talk to Shatreen the very next day and Malcolm tells Rico that he's going to use his new ability to assist him in destroying Mary and Clive's relationship.
Torein's Night
A confusing story line starring featuring Torein, without any speech.  Torein appears to be shopping late at night, but despite his attempt to appear inconspicuous, he knows he cannot be accepted by any person.  He comes across a small cat, who leads him on a rooftop chase.  Torein saves the kitten's life, and they go home friends.
