Spore Wars

Starring Sniffles & The Ants (appearance by Lumpy)

Sniffles reads information about a fungus that controls the minds of insects. Hatching an idea, he grows a sample of this fungus in his lab. Then he plants one near the closest anthill. The baby ant idly passes the mushroom, getting a sudden itchy feeling on his head, unaware that he was infected with its spores.

Within moments, the ant succumbs to a zombie-like state. Sniffles soon realizes that the brainwashed ant will copy his every whim. So he turns the helpless insect into a servant, ordering him to collect more samples of the fungus and feed it to the other ants.

Soon enough, the entire ant family is infected. They can do nothing but obey Sniffles' demands as he has them do various chores around his home. Finally, the ants each take a final breath and mushrooms protrude through their bodies. Sniffles decides to eat their remains. He gets a sudden headache before several spores poke through his skull and he too is left a brainwashed zombie.

Lumpy relaxes in his backyard, when the mind-controlled Sniffles comes along and massages his back. Lumpy dozes off, blissfully unaware that Sniffles has planted spores in his back.
