TUITION IS COMING
DUE...
AT USC OSTROW DENTAL SCHOOL...
AND THAT MEANS
ONE THING!...
...THE YOUNG DOCTOR HOLLYWOOD SMILES REPORT,
AND THE OTHER STUDENTS
ARE GOING TO HAVE TO
'COUGH UP'
SOME HEAVY
DENTAL STUDENT USER FEES...
AMOUNTING
TO OVER
$100,000 FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR!...
...THAT'S A WHOLE LOT OF
COUGHING AND SNEEZING!
SO,
WITH SOME LUCK(?)
THE DOCTOR FINDS THAT
THERE'S A
CONTEST ABOUT TO START,
WHICH
IS OFFERING
A $4 MILLION DOLLAR
PRIZE
TO ANYONE WHO
SUCCESSFULLY
NEGOTIATES
A NUMBER OF OUTDOOR MAZES,
OVER THE DAYS AND NIGHTS,
WITH MANY
OF THEM HARBORING
ELEMENTS OF
DANGER,
AND...
ELEMENTS OF
BEAUTY!
"WITH THAT AMOUNT
OF PRIZE MONEY,
I CAN PAY MY TUITION AND
THE TUITION OF A COUPLE OF MY FRIENDS,"
BEAMS HSR,
AS HE THINKS ABOUT USC
DENTAL SCHOOL!
SO, HE
GOES TO THE
SIGN-UP PLACE
AND
HARDLY ANYONE IS THERE,
THEN,
HE TALKS TO ONE PERSON,
AND THAT PERSON REVEALS THAT NO ONE'S
SIGNING UP BECAUSE
ALL OF THE PREVIOUS PEOPLE
WHO TRIED THE
MAZES
JUST...HAVEN'T BEEN
HEARD
FROM!...SO THEY ALL JUST
DROPPED OUT...
...OR WORSE!
BUT THAT SEEMS TO
NOT DETER
HIM BECAUSE
HE HAS
HIS EYES ON THE
PRIZE
TO BECOME A REAL DENTIST!
SO HE
FILLS OUT THE PAPERS TO
SIGN UP
WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE,
AND THE PERSON REGISTERING HIM
SAYS,
"WE'LL SEE HOW LONG THAT SMILE LASTS, SIR!"
BUT
THE DOCTOR IS DETERMINED...
SO...
HE GOES TO THE FIRST MAZE
AND THERE
SEEMS TO BE A
WHOLE BUNCH OF THIS
AND THIS,
WHICH REMINDS HIM
OF SOME
VIDEO SEARCH BATTLES
AT A
FRIEND'S HOUSE...
AND AFTER SOME
MORE WALKING,
HE SPOTS A
BEING THAT
JUST TAKES OFF!
AND LATER ON...
WHOA!...WHAT'S
THIS?...
WHICH MAKES HIM THINK, "I SURE
HOPE THAT THERE ARE
NONE OF THOSE
PLANTS
IN MY SIZE!
THEN,
LATER ON
IN ANOTHER MAZE,
A
PERSON IN FEAR, RUNS
RIGHT PAST HIM,
NOT SAYING A WORD!...
NOW,
WANTING A SLIGHT REST,
HE WALKS
OVER TO A TREE
TO LEAN ON
FOR A BIT...
BUT...
SOMETHING
MOVES!...
...AND IT SHOWS ITSELF
AND SAYS,
..."BE CAREFUL, SIR,
FOR THERE ARE THINGS
COMING UP THAT CAN
'DRIVE YOU CRAZY!'"
THEN,
THAT 'THING/PERSON'
COVERS
UP AGAIN!...
"I HOPE THAT THESE
MAZES DON'T TURN INTO
A
'GOBBLE ME UP'
PAC MAN THING!"
THE DENTIST RATIONALIZES...
SO,
AFTER MORE AND MORE OF THIS...
HE STARTS TO
NOTICE CERTAIN PATTERNS,
WHICH GIVES HIM
SCIENCE
TO HIS
RIGHT-AND-LEFT-TURN
MADNESS!
THEN LATER,
HE REMEMBERS
A CHARACTER IN
A
DISNEY MOVIE!
NEXT ON DOWN THE LINE,
HE SEES AND SAYS,
"HEY WAIT A MINUTE!...
...I'M OUT OF HERE!"...
THEN...
...MUCH LATER,
ALONG THE WAY...
HE TAKES A DRINK
FROM
A SEEMINGLY
MAGICAL SOURCE,
BEFORE
TRAVERSING THIS
THIS ONE...
BUT AS IT
STARTS
TO GET
DARK ON THE
FIRST NIGHT,
A HEAVY
DOWNPOUR COMMENCES...
WITH A STRONG
'LIGHT SHOW!'
SO,
HE TRUDGES ON
SOME MORE...
AND HE COMES ACROSS SOME
POSSIBLE SHELTER!
AND HE CHECKS IT
OUT CLOSER...
AND WITH ANOTHER
VERY LOUD
BOOM AND CRACKLE,
HE DECIDES
TO TAKE HIS
CHANCES!
NOW,
THE DENTIST FINDS AN
'UNOCCUPIED'
DARK CORNER
IN THE WHOLE DARK PLACE
TO
REST HIS WEARY HEAD,
AND HE HEARS SOME MINOR SOUNDS...
HOWEVER,
THERE AREN'T MANY,
BUT HIS DREAMS ARE
FITFUL,
WITH
EERY PLANTS
EMERGING
FROM
THE MAZE
BUSHES!...AND A
MAZE THAT RADIATES...
...IN A
SPECIAL WAY...
...WHICH MAKES HIM ASK...
..."LIKE...
...WHERE IS ALL OF THIS
LEADING TO?"
WELL,
SOMEHOW...
...HE
WAKES UP IN ONE PIECE,
AND TACKLES THE
NEXT MAZE...
...AND HERE AGAIN,
HE USES SOME
PROBABILITY ALGORITHMS
IN HIS HEAD
TO
GET THROUGH QUICKER...
"BUT,"
HE THINKS,
"THIS NEW MAZE
LOOKS LIKE
THE WORSE SO FAR!...
...BUT...I GOTTA GO TO
DENTAL SCHOOL!...
SO I...
AM GONNA TAKE MY CHANCES!"...
BUT OFF TO THE SIDE...
...SOMETHING SEEMS
TO BE WATCHING!
.......
THE NEXT DAY,
THE DENTIST IS SURPRISED WHEN
HE IS TOLD TO NEGOTIATE
SOME MAZES...
UNDER
WATER!
SO, IN HIS SCUBA OUTFIT, HE
TRUDGES ON
THROUGH
THE BEAUTIFUL MARINE BIOLOGY!
OMGOSH!...THERE ARE
CREATURES TOO!
NOW, AS THE DENTIST CONTINUES,
HE HEARS OVER
THE EAR PIECE
THAT
NEXT, HE MUST GO THROUGH
A MAZE OF...
...UNDERGROUND CAVES!
"DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHERE YOU END UP,"
SAYS THE PERSON SPEAKING TO HIM
VIA THE EAR PIECE, "THERE WILL BE A SHIP
WAITING NEAR YOU AT THE SURFACE!"
NOW THE DENTIST
GOES THROUGH A
WATERFALL AND
PASSES MORE
CAVES
AND MORE
CAVES
AND EERY ROCKS
AND
CAVERNS,
THEN,
HE THINKS,
"THE NEXT TIME I FIND A
WATER ROUTE OUT,
I'M HEADING ON UP TO
THE SURFACE!"
BUT IT TAKES A WHILE
AND
WHEN HE FINALLY
REACHES THE SURFACE
...WAIT!...
...OH CRAP!...
