Survival of the fittest.

It’s the law of the jungle.

There’s always someone trying to take what’s yours.

How do I know?

It almost happened to me.

Hi-yah!

Tim Templeton.

quit monkeying around.

Hot dogs are getting cold.

Hot dogs?

At least, this is how I remember it.

All right, buddy, let’s eat.

You see, I was seven years old.

and back then, you relied on your imagination.

When I wasn’t exploring the Congo.

I was a deep sea diver.

Tim!

Our hero!

Don’t worry, Mom and Dad.

I got this!

Grab on!

Some days, I rescued my parents.

That way!

Other days, they rescued me.

I’m losing control.

Tim, look out!

You’re breaking up!

Slow down, Tim!

Turn, Tim.

Turn!

Are you hurt?

I’m okay.

Show Mommy your teeth.

It was just the three of us.

The Templetons.

And three is the perfect number.

Interesting fact.

did you know that the triangle is the strongest shape found in nature?

I was the luckiest kid ever.

My parents even had cool jobs.

They worked for the biggest pet company in the world.

Puppy Co.

Yes, Mr. F rancis?

Puppy Co needs you.

It’s go ti me.

They worked in a department called “Marketing.

where they got to launch new products.

Even though my parents worked really hard.

they still made just enough time for me.

Three stories, five hugs, and my special song, right?

You got it!

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting For this moment to arise

Hey, Tim.

How would you like to have a baby brother?

No, thanks.

I’m enough.

Life was good.

Life was perfect.

But as I drifted off to sleep.

something my parents said got me thinking.

Where do babies come from?

The day I got a little brother started like any other day.

but little did I know.

my life would never be the same.

Wake up, little halflings!

It’s 7:00 a.m.

Wake up, little halflings!

Morning, Wizzie!

What great adventure lies in wait for you today?

Oh, yeah!

My parents always said that I had an overactive imagination.

But I clearly remember.

the baby was delivered in a taxi.

What the.

Hey!

Tim, look who’s here.

Meet your new baby brother.

Baby what?

Brother.

I had a million questions.

Who is this guy?

Why is he here?

What’s with that outfit?

Why’s he so fat?

Why’s he staring at me?

Does he know karate?

What’s going on?

That way?

Okay.

Okay.

Right from the start,

he was yelling at people ordering everyone around.

Oh, you want this?

One thing was clear.

He was the boss.

He set up his office, right smack dab in the middle of the house.

He conducted meetings.

You called?

Do you need Señor Squeaky?

Lots and lots of meetings.

Even in the middle of the night.

I’m up!

I’m up!

We’re coming!

We’ll be right there!

If things weren’t done to his immediate satisfaction.

he had a fit.

Where’s the bottle?

He has to have his bottle!

He had everyone wrapped around his chubby little finger.

Everyone except for me.

Diaper!

Bottle!

Dad!

I can’t sleep.

I know, bud.

Me neither.

The baby needs a lot of attention right now.

Okay, good talk!

But.

It’s okay.

Daddy’s here.

Daddy’s here.

What about me?

The year: 2057.

Ensign T-Rex and I are investigating a hostile alien invasion.

It’s so much worse than we thought.

Mom, he’s naked!

I’m naked!

Say “naked.

”

No!

Who’s Mommy’s little cutie?

Are you Mommy’s little cutie?

No, he’s Daddy’s little tough guy, right?

You know one of us has to go

with Mr. Francis to the pet convention.

In Vegas.

You know what?

You should go.

No, no.

You should go.

Well, you need a break.

I’ll stay with the baby, and you.

Maybe the baby should decide.

Who do you want to stay with you?

Daddy or Mommy?

Or Daddy?

He wants his mommy.

Okay, we need to talk!

In private.

Sure.

About what, bud?

About the b-a-b-e-e.

“Y ‘, ‘ Tim.

Why?

Because he came out of nowhere!

We don’t even know him.

How can we trust him?

Come on, he’s just a baby.

Seriously?

I’m the only one that thinks there’s something weird about this guy?

Oopsie!

I got it.

Five-second rule.
