Blackout Bob's Hero Arch: Chapter One


Chapter One:  The health incident

We find two old homeless friends, Bugeye Fred and Tweak enjoying a meal together, when suddenly things go wrong.
 

Bugeye feels deathly ill, Tweak is disoriented but knows he must take quick action



Grabbing a bottle of Thunderbird, Tweak rushes to send out a distress call



In a mighty effort Tweak scurried up a downspout to get as high off the ground as possible



Stretching out as far as he could, Tweak takes the bottle of Thunderbird from the brown paper bag and holds out to catch the bright light from a nearby street lamp


The public sees the distress signal all over town with various reactions


Completing the Hurclean effort, Tweak loses his grip on the downspout and falls to the alley floor


The two old friends huddle together as pain and illness consumes their bodies. Tweak's jaw seems locked shut


But across town a hero emerges from his PIB Director of Public Health office
