Suddenly the police come through the door and arrest Moe the Crow for possession of child pornography. As the story progresses, it is revealed that crime and depravity have gone up in this world and no one can explain why. Moe tells his wife, Birdseed Betty, while she is visiting him in jail, that he does not understand what is happening but that he had been getting mysterious e-mails from a stranger, Troy Hicks, who had been tempting him with the child porn and a final offer to trade places with him in his world, which Moe refused to do. </p><p>As the story continues, more and more of the characters find themselves in situations that they do not understand, and Sheriff Dribble is on the hunt to find out why. After discovering that there is a connection between the recent events and a penguin named Frosty Pete, Sheriff Dribble and his force confront Pete at the church. </p><p>Frosty Pete tells the cops that they cannot stop him, because he is really Troy Hicks, and he has been controlling the world this whole time. In his world, Hicks was a cartoonist who drew a comic strip called "The Funnies". Hicks was charged with eight child murders while his wife wanted a child and had turned to prostitution after his arrest. He explains to Sheriff Dribble that after his final appeal was rejected, he decided to start drawing his world again in an attempt to stay alive forever and do whatever he wanted in the new world without consequences. He e-mailed all his characters figuring that at least one of them would bite if he gave enough temptation of sex and women in his world, which Frosty Pete accepted (thus Hicks' current form as Frosty Pete). Hicks then demonstrates his new power by stopping the bullets fired at him and killing the police force. </p><p>As the comic ends, Frosty Pete, now in Hicks' body, is about to be led to the electric chair, while Hicks, after killing off or seriously harming various characters in quick succession, walks off with Sally Gator's baby in the stroller. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Characters">Characters</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Unfunnies&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Characters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b>Moe the Crow</b> – a cartoon crow.
