Illustration #11 - Operation: Weed Killer


Bill Fern is just a single, regular, portly exterminator and lawn maintenance guy. His average work schedule usually comprises of being underpaid to clean up, exterminate, and fight off the most foul of everyday suburban pestilence that lurks throughout peoples' houses. He doesn't have the most desirable of careers, but someone has to do it. On a regular basis, he's reminded how much nicer of a life he could have; seeing loving families, beautiful houses, and financial stability prominent in the lives he temporarily steps into. As much as clean up guys do for society, they are often forgotten once their job is done.

One day, however, an earthquake rattled throughout Bill's city and an infectious plant from a prehistoric era sprawls out from the earthly fissure. It is an ancient relative of the parasitic Rafflesia flower that absorbs nutrients from its surroundings. This towering flower, however, has been long drawing nutrients from the Earth for as long as history spans and has brought a great blight to the environment.

It is then that Bill realizes his destiny to exterminate this heinous flower and gain the recognition he had been long searching for. After all he's been through, can a meager little underpaid exterminator take on this dangerous of a challenge?
