The Brain #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe primary story follows a boy who invents an electronic dog-walker device, accidentally creating a duplicate of himself in the process. When the duplicate is mistaken for the original boy by his father, the two engage in various hijinks including a conflict over whether girls are "sissies," which leads to a wagon-riding contest that ends in a crash. In a second story, the boy attempts to help his father find a parking space using a mirror-based contraption as a "brainstorm," which backfires and creates chaos on the street, ultimately blocking traffic rather than solving the parking problem.
The Brain's latest contraption—an automatic toothbrushing machine—goes hilariously sideways just as a professional photographer arrives to take the family portrait, setting off a cascade of mishaps that transforms what should be a simple photo session into complete chaos. As the boy's inventions and impulsive troubleshooting collide with the increasingly frazzled photographer's attempts to capture the perfect shot, disaster piles upon disaster, each solution creating a new problem. Will Pierre finally get his picture, or will the Brain's well-meaning interference prove unstoppable?
When two prankster twins—Tommy and Teddy—arrive in the neighborhood and decide to pester the Brain with a series of tricks, he dreams up an elaborate scheme to turn the tables on them. Armed with his cleverness and a house full of contraptions, the Brain sets a trap-filled evening to teach the twins a lesson they won't forget. What starts as payback might just lead to an unexpected opportunity that changes everything.
Benjamin Bang's well-intentioned helpfulness wreaks havoc when his father brings him to the office, transforming a routine business day into complete chaos. As Benjamin bounces from one "helpful" scheme to the next—from parking lot mishaps to accidentally locking himself in the company vault—his father scrambles to manage the damage before the boss loses his temper completely. But this pint-sized entrepreneur has one final brainstorm that might just prove the business world could use a little more brain, and a lot more Benjamin.
